You nailed it.  It has to be the gears...
and getting into the gear box is beyond me.

The beast needs grooming, and after 4 little guys
it's about time.

My locomotive motor is not making the drive wheels turn.  They turn as if not connected to the motor.  Any ideas of why...and how to reconnect the works?

All suggestions appreciated.  I have a 5th grandson anxious to get to know the "Delaware".

Thanks to all.  The "noise" is far less obnoxious when the volume's turned down.  Still, odd for it to be on an 1876 machine!

Yeah, I guess it's the turbogenerator you mention.  I don't see any mention of a PC programmer on the Phoenix site.  A female connection came with their kit, and I've installed it in the tender, but the Mogul 2-6-0 setup doesn't match the wiring sketch in their manual.  My first problem is to find homes for the 3 wires!

There's an annoying background sound, more than just a hiss, in my newly installed Phoenix 2K2.  It's located in the tender of a Mogul 2-6-0.  Any thoughts?

Good tips all.  Thanks!

Thanks to all.  Yes, it's a beautiful locomotive.  Too bad no sound!  I'll schedule a visit to the nearest train shop.

No one told me about sound when I bought my g-scale Mogul, and I haven't had it set up yet.  Does it chuff as it came from the factory or do I need sound installation?

I'm impressed...and totally new to sound.

Where's the speaker?

Where can I get custom decals for a g-scale steam outfit?

I want to add cars to my new Mogul 2-6-0 (1860s style), but I want to keep them the same era.  Can someone tell me where I can get images of 1860s cabooses, etc. to guide my buying?

Just got a g scale mogul 2-6-0, and need to add sound.  I'm new to this.  What do I do?
