2-8-0 squeals on curves

[tom]

One of my Bachmann 2-8-0s squeals in curves.  The curves are 18" radius nickel alloy track and, just to make certain, I ran another 2-8-0 through the circuit.  The second engine ran fine with no abnormal sounds.  I greased the engine in question and recleaned the track. None of thoses actions fixed the problem.

Any thoughts on how to fix this will be appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

tom

Did you try a small drop of conductive oil on each wheel tread and on the tender axles where the pickups touch them?

Thank you Jim,

I will try that next.
