Hi

I have new Hertha 37390 which has developed a squeak after a few runs. Have done some tests and squeak is definitely coming from the motor.....Have oiled to no effect and now not sure what to do....Don't want to send all the way back to Germany from Aus (the joys of internet shopping). Any hints?

PS engine also appears to be a little jerky since the squeaking started...

Thanks as always

It might not be the engine that is squeaky.. Is it possible that one of the axles is binding?

Thanks

Sorry, fairly new to this, brought my four year old Marklin Thomas set (we lived in Berlin for a while) and now dad is hooked. What is axle binding and how do I look for it?
