Ann Arbor GP35 For Sale
Anyone still want it? HO scale Athearn RTR GP35, Ann Arbor #393. Asking $65 but I'm willing to negotiate I suppose. If you're going to be at the Lansing show Sunday, I'd gladly deliver it to you there.

Interesting, mine's fairly quiet, as smoot as the other Athearn RTR's I own. I guess I've been lucky, all my Athearn's are pretty quiet.Mike Tabone wrote:I've got one, I hate the thing, its as noisy as a box kit locomotive from Athearn.

I own five of those Athearn GP35s. They do growl a little, but I figure then I don't need to install sound--they already sound like a diesel!
If it makes too much noise, though, it could be because of too little lubrication of the gears, or there could be burrs on some gears. One should disassemble everything, clean, inspect, reassemble, and relube to see if the condition is quieted.

Found a buyer, so I guess this thread can go away.

Yeah, i have an ever growing promblem on a leg of my track, its uphill on a curve at a switch so I'm screwed either way. Slow order of 10mph, then a train of 10 or more cars stalls, thus creating burn spots. So i gotta double my train in the next town. Actually thats not a promblem is prototypical really.
Mike, how "free rolling" are your cars? Do you use "The Tool" from Micro-Mark to ream the journal bearings so the cars roll easily? I've found if your cars really are free rolling that you can pull more of them up a grade because then you're only fighting gravity and not also rolling resistance.
Of course, when the cars are extremely free rolling, you better make sure your track is very level on yard tracks or sidings (or even the main line if you have to leave cars on the main to switch a siding) else the cars will want to roll away!
