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
It takes 3 thick rubber bands
3 thick rubber bands? I think it only had one in it from Lionel. Cant remember because it was in many many pieces lol
