Since I was on the site I looked up in the parts section and don't see a whole lot of parts listed for engines. Assuming I may have to replace my gears, where do I get them?

Thanks

James,

Yes, at least 15 years old. They seem to run ok, but do growl as you say. I will tear them apart and check the geears as you suggested. I hate to give up on the old stuff since I've had it so long and it has served me well.

I actually looked at a new Bachman engine at the LHS the other day and mey go back to get it this coming weekend.

I really appreciate your help, tips and input.

Take care.

Thanks for the tips. They are both Bachmann units.

I have a couple very old GP units that seem to be running pretty good, but are very loud when they run. Is there anything I can do to get them performing a bit quieter?

thanks for any hints and/or tips.
