A while back I acquired a Railking Allegheny(https://mthtrains.com/30-1612-1), I remembered it squeaking and needing oil when I first got it but it was my last engine before I got out of the hobby for about 4 years, I recently have started again and the Allegheny is struggling to move like its running gear hates itself almost like the valve gear of the model is getting locked up, its almost like the engine has no speed control too, its like running my K-line bigboy with no odyssey speed control, none of my other MTH engines have this problem either. Could this just be the engine needing oil on its valve gear? Or could something be wrong with its 2 motors? Surprisingly it doesn't have any connections problems, I almost never get the check track signal on the remote.
