Folks if you want a new rubber band put into your Lionel sub. Just take it apart to start with. Mine doesnt spin via the rubber band. Dont know if it ever did. I just put one in it to hold the nose on. : )

Getting me to take a bath wasn't an issue as a kid. I got in more trouble taking too many. The subs where an all time fav of mine. In my top #3 really. I still have my US Marines flat, but no sub. I wore one out, and don't know what happen to #2. It took more than one rubber band and they were pretty thick, wide, and strong as well. Winding was done till they knotted up beyond belief, more than say a wood airplane (these and bass/ balsa gliders, popular cheap fun in my era) . I used Vasoline as a grease somewhere on it, but don't recall what pieces it was applied to. Vasoline because there weren't better light greases readily available.
Get it spinning and go fill the tub
