Good evening,
My Lionel engine's motor drive shaft "sllides" back and forth within the motor, causing binding on the worm gears to the drive wheel gears when it goes forward. In other words, due to this sliding, it only runs backwards without extra effort. Hopefully somemone can tell me if there is a way to stop or control lthis sliding. I really like the engine, and would like to see it go forward. I'm including photos to help identify it.
Thanks,
Tom
