Large Scale Central

Climax gear box

Does anyone have experience with the Climax center gearbox failure?
Mine is lurching and ticking, if I grab the piston rod and stop it’s movement the loco still lurches along.

Bachmann has/had replacement gear boxes but guess what the are out if stock.
Any ideas?

Does any of the Bachmann Climax Performance section of George Schreyer’s tips help?

Mark,
No, not that I can find, but thanks for taking an interest.
