IMG_1530IMG_1531I have this Lionel GS-2 Loco which I brought out to run after several years in storage. Not a lot of runtime on it.

The smoke unit squeals whenever command to puff/blow.  Took shell off with thought of putting a drop of oil on motor shaft if the impellers not binding on a piece of trash once I remove its top plate.

Am I on the correct path ie remove the three corner screws?

Thanks for  any feedback.

I would say yes....The two center ones close together are likely holding the resistor with little nuts on the underside.

Use a pair of needle nose pliers to pull up on an impeller blade.  Underneath is the little bushing where you want to put a very small drop of oil.  Put a small drop also on the other end of the motor.

May want to check the batting while your in there.

I'm not sure how long that repairs going to last. It started squealing at power up and sporadically thereafter. Now though it seems to have cleared up and has stopped.

Do you replace the whole unit or is the half containing motor a seperate order item. Looks like it would be a complete assembly.
