Anyone know which screws to remove to get to the motor/drive.
Problem is the power pick up/ wheels have power but drive is intermittent.

This diagram may hep a little.

Remove the screws numbered 7 and 18 that go through the baseplate (not all are shown in the picture) and then remove the baseplate.
I fixed a similar problem with a steam outline version. The motor tabs needed tweaking slightly to make good contact with their supply wires.
It looks very much like the gear, driven from the worm, is worn??
It should NOT be concave.

Ooh, yes, that gear does look a little bit worse for wear.... has the loco had a lot of running? The gear should last a lot better than that!
Motor worm gear perhaps meshing too tightly, and chewing into the plastic gear wheel...?
Jon.

When I tested motor disengaged from gears powered via the pickups it was very reluctant to spin.
Any idea what the circuit board does?
