I picked up this Shedd Aquarium Car (Chicago) recently and have run into some issues. Had it running about 5 minutes and I noticed the banner wasn't moving. Opened it up and the banner had slipped up to the top. Straightened it out and a couple minutes later same issue.
On the bench I opened it up and found one post on the bottom of the bearing as Lionel calls it had broke off.

It appears this post keeps the bearing aligned and the banner running true. Per Lionel parts this bearing is unavailable.
IIRC I have read some posts about swapping to the newer motorized cars. Is that a straight swap?
Thanks for the help!
