Looks like this may end up being a common problem. I've been running my LionChief PE for its third season. The kids and I were playing on the lay out when the Loco started seizing up. It was making a horrid sound as it desperately needed grease. Upon taking apart I discovered one of the screws for the motor stuck to the screw mechanism. Luckily, no damage was done. I cleaned up the threads, added a little locktite and re-installed. Good as new! Adding this as an inspection point when greasing from now on.
