Reply to "What do you think this noise coming from a Lionel Legacy S3 6-84065 is?"

@Ted S, ....I’m not 100% sold that greasing these cups is the “cure” for this condition....you hit the nail on the head with Wyatt’s loco as to where the noise was coming from, but I was more interested in the comment you made about the shaft alignment issue you noted, but y’all never did conclude if that was remedied ....free flying slinging grease, vasoline or whatever, seems like a band aid repair ....I’d like to see if someone can verify if there’s a bunch of slop between the dog bone and the slots, or if it’s a misalignment issue or what....I’ve put these dog bones in some builds almost to the max allowable defection with no grease, and to this day have no noise like that....and some of those builds have hundreds if not thousands of hours.....if the grease is the cure, fine, but I’m interested in knowing the offense that leads to that....
