Hello Friends;

I have a new Broadway Limited Pennsy Lionchief passenger set. I love the look of the passenger cars with their cool silhouettes that remind me of my trains as a kid.

The engine works, but it is not at all smooth. I have to give a lot of throttle to the handcontrol to get it going.

This hasn't been my experience with the Polar Express set. I'm wondering if the latter is just a better engine. I did oil before placing on the track today, thinking this might help, but no improvement.

Any wisdom?

I grease the exposed gears that I could get to, including the one, I believe, attached to the can motor.  The can motor sits horizontally.

That is very odd... I can't think of anything else but maybe a communication error between the locomotive and tender boards?  Have you tried calling Lionel's customer support team?
