3rd rail Jawn Henry, drive belt | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

I purchased this engine brand new many years ago. I am having an issue with the front truck drive belt.

It is not tight enough around the sprockets. It just spins around the truck sprocket; I compared the tension with the rear drive belt, and it is really loose. Ther are no adjustments for the motor mounts. The belt is not worn, just too big or possibly stretched a little. Does anyone have a quick fix for this? this engine has less than an hour of run time on it.

If the belt is stretched, contact 3rd rail for a new one.

I wonder if something is loose, or if something was not installed right?

I never worked on this engine.
