Hello,
I am new here and pretty new to the whole model train thing. I have recently inherited a lionel 2353 Santa Fe F-3 train set from my grandfather. It is in great condition except for the fact that when I put the engine in forward it moves maybe an inch then stops. I took the engine apart to figure out where the problem was and from what I found, the front gears in the front drive truck are binding up and making the wheels impossible to turn. Does anyone out there know how to fix this problem, or know anyone that could fix the problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
