Fox Valley Models GP60M Motor Noise

[pilpro]

Hi Folks-

I'm new and green to N Scale and I bought this lovely FVM GP60M a few months ago.  I'm having problems with the drive or worm gears slipping and I'm no N scale mechanic.  After watching the video does anyone have any idea what they are hearing?  Thanks.

Paul,

Go to Page 8 of the following thread and you will find a post by me that quoted a drawing by Mike Fifer, recommending where to lube the locomotive.  My GP60M was practically dry and made all sorts of noise.  Applying oil sparingly helped a lot.

Hope this helps,

Thanks Dave!  Worked like a charm.  I probably could of been less lazy and do a search for that thread.  The unit now purrs right along.  Thanks again.
