       Lackawana Gear Stuck

       This is my first-time post.  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?

       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.
       Happy Rails...
