Can anyone help me to get my Blue Goose running well again? Front tire is always falling off. I have replaced tires and that doesn’t seem to help. It doesn’t have the power it once did either. It cannot even pull the 8-set blue goose passenger train I got with the engine on a level incline. Not sure what is wrong. It is clean and oiled. Track is clean. Other engines run fine. Any ideas?
You don’t say what scale your “Blue Goose” is or who manufactured it. I assume, when you mention “tires” that it is not the Hallmark brass HO model. I suspect that the lack of pulling power may have to do with the “oiled” part of your “clean and oiled”.
Gregg,
It is an HO Rivarossi. It is not overoiled. If anything, it is underoiled. Not sure why the rubber “tire” keeps falling off the front driver wheel. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks for your time.
