Joined: 25/12/2010(UTC) Posts: 274		Hello, Today the F7 complex of my Super Chief (26496) decided to stop working, basically while the locomotive was running I heard a weird noise and the locomotive pretty much stopped. I checked and apparently the wheels connected to the front engine (the locomotive has two engine) are stuck and there's no way to move them, the engine is working but the wheels gears are not moving at all. Anybody has a suggestion on how to fix this? santa fe.png (3,519kb) downloaded 48 time(s). Thanks.

If so, then you are facing a mechanical problem. The affected truck (or bogie) should have four rubber traction tyres. Are they are still in place? If not, maybe one got caught in the cog wheels.
