Hi, new here and hoping someone could help. I just got a factory sealed Hudson Jr. 6-38678. Right out of the box, I lubed all the standard points. It runs perfectly in reverse, but in forward, it makes a metallic scraping noise, like two pieces of metal are rubbing together. At first, I thought it was the drive wheels spinning against the track, but it does this with or without pulling a consist. It seems to be coming from inside. I would appreciate any suggestions, and hope this is something simple I could fix myself without sending it for repair. Thanks much!
Problem fixed - after taking off the cab, I found that the inside point of one of the handrails was scraping against the flywheel. After bending the handrail point back a little, the noise was gone.
