The fix was he cut some sleeves from an aerial off a portable transistor radio an slid it over the plastic axle sleeve with araldite and this closed the split and has fixed the problems.Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03955072127937780064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9074654920193695267.post-89490586019609685882014-04-07T13:55:45.621+10:002014-04-07T13:55:45.621+10:00Rod

This issue has apparently surfaced on other brand models in the US as well.<br />As I understand it there is a clicking noise as the split gear turns and the teeth don't quite match with the other gears due to the increased distance between two teeth either side of the split in the gear hub. It would probably interfere with the smooth running as well.<br /><br />I suspect I have one in one of my 44s fitted with sound.<br /><br />RayRay Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16624865987062727847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9074654920193695267.post-60472152909179217722014-04-06T12:47:18.121+10:002014-04-06T12:47:18.121+10:00Ray,

I have had no problems ( as yet) with the 44s but have heard a lot of talk about the issue and the promised fix from Trainorama. My question is, how prevalent or widespread is the problem?. And what activity seems to bring the problem on.<br /><br />Regards, RodRodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06908324700708569903noreply@blogger.com
