Rich Uncle Skeleton Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 My LL GP20 is an excellent runner, bar a very loud screeching noise it makes. Having spend an afternoon taking it to pieces, swapping the bogies around and fighting the little flexible strip that holds the coupling in, the noise hasn’t stopped. It doesn’t do it in reverse, though not forwards but not at high speeds. Does anyone have any experience with this? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium New Haven Neil Posted October 25, 2023 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 25, 2023 Sounds like a dry motor bearing. Tiny, tiny drop of oil on each end. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Uncle Skeleton Posted October 25, 2023 Author Share Posted October 25, 2023 Here’s video of it. Might want to turn the volume down… Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was my first thought, but once you get the body off and take out the screws the only thing holding the spilt frame together were the two light chips and one didn’t want to come out. I’ll try again later and be a bit more brave. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Uncle Skeleton Posted November 16, 2023 Author Share Posted November 16, 2023 (edited) Rolled up my sleeves and had a deeper look today. Following the advice of a YouTube video, I took it completely apart and removed the inside bearings for the motor, swapped the bogies about and the noise is largely gone!
