Squeaky Fleischmann 4002

[Tony Davis]

I recently acquired  a Peco narrow gauge loco that had been fitted with a fleischmann chassis (the only identification I can see is the number 4002). When testing the chassis on trach it emits a squeaking sound and stutters along for a while, then stops.

 

Suggestions as where to start looking greatly appreciated.

I would start with cleaning the wheels and the pickups  and a drop of lube at each point of movement. A couple of Fleischmann locos I rebuilt recently had oil cooled armatures so minimal lube is the idea. Then run it to check, if the noise is still there it is something that is still a touch dry.
