Hi James,

The motor seems strong when I run it out of the frame. I don't think I have a problem there. It might be worth trying to convert to DCC if I get the drive truck repaired.  I see wear and tear on the idler gear plus a lot of wobble, and the two drive gears, the worm gear appears to be ok. I was thinking that being 40+ years, I would have better luck finding the whole assembly rather than the idler gear and two drive gears.

Hello all,

I picked up an old Turbo Train over a year ago. It ran rough at the time so I shelved it. Now I have time to work on it and hopefully put it on my layout. The motor and front drive truck are the problem. These need to be replaced. Would anyone know where these items, or event the entire assembly could be bought from? If necessary, I would be willing to go the route of individual pieces to rebuild this unit. I don't want this unit just for a static display
Any help would be appreciated!
