Thank you in advance to everyone who shares their knowledge and expertise on this forum. I am trying to reassemble the motor and truck (wheel assembly) on my Lackawana. The motor spins freely, and the gears on the truck spin freely, when they are apart. When I put them together, the entire assembly is frozen. What am I missing? #Post#: 2951-------------------------------------------------- Re: Lackawana Gear Stuck By: djacobsen Date: March 9, 2022, 2:52 pm --------------------------------------------------------- honda1 Hello & Welcome to the Forum... l had a locomotive that had a similar problem. The gears were worn and didnt mesh, so it locked up. l had oned l accidently put back together out of quarter, and that locked it up. Your Lackawana, which one is it? they produced a variety of them. My favorite was the Camelback. This is where pictures would help identify your loco & its' problem. My guess is to make sure your gears lineup & everything well lubricated.
