[DSY011]

I had a word with a friend about the noise coming from the tender of my 4F. He told me to put a drop of modelling oil on the bearings on both sides of the motor. He said that the motor could make an awful lot of noise if the bearings were running dry. I did as he said, ( muttering a few words under my breath as I had been told the loco had been serviced when I bought it) I ran the loco a few times around a 2nd radius circle and have to admit that the thing was a lot better and soon there was no grating noise at all.
