I am not an HO guy but several years ago I bought a Roundhouse Shay and ran it in a circlke a feqw time and put it a way. before I did that one of the out side drive shafts broke. It still ran OK but was very loud.
Now I set it up again and it is still loud as the dickend like a truck is of the tail on an O gauge car.
Proplem is it has not power and stalls where ever the is a high place in the track. It is on the carpet.
Also it sound like an old car with bad carburations.
Pardon me please if I am hard to understand, I have be ill....
How is this thing suppose to run and sound, would oil help it?
Seem like at the time I paid $80 for it and expect better service out of it for that money.
I have had flea market life like engines that preformed better.
Thanks.
Steve
