I have an HO Lionel Veranda Turbine that has at most 30 minutes of run time on it. I bought it new, shortly after they came out and after a bit of running on my old layout, I moved and it has been stored in a closet inside the house ever since.

I recently took it out to run and it had the dreaded click and bump from each wheel rotation that I have found so often in P2K GP 7/9's. However, with the Turbine it only happens when running FWD. I have been told that NWSL make a replacement gear #2462-6 12T  but I can't get the axles out!

I could use some advice.  I have 2 Athearn Genesis sound locos (an F7A/B and an MP15) that have the dreaded intermittent electrical pickup problems.  I have NWSL wheel sets on order that were recommended on Tony's Train Xchange website as a fix to the problem.  The fix says to use the wheels plus Electrolub in the journal cavity.  Problem is, I don't know that electrolub is available any more.

Does anyone know of a readily available substitute for Electrolub?

Thanks,

Hi all,

well with the Mrs. in Italy visiting her dad who is not doing well, I had to do some thing to not start  turning in circles with the Christmas spirit and such.

So I decided to re do some of the tree line. You all might remember this...

but when ever I entered the layout room I was like "pffffffft" not really what I was after when I was doing this tree nursery.

HELLO RAILROADERS !

I AM AKSHAY AND I AM FROM INDIA , I WANT TO MAKE A LAYOUT WHICH SHOULD HAVE A YARD , SOME STATIONS , ONE OR TWO JUNCTIONS , INDUSTRIES AND SOME MINES !

BUT I WANT ALL THIS TO BE LESS THAN 150 SQ FEET .

I NEED SOME SUGGESTIONS!
