Went down to the San Diego 3-Railers on May 15th, and had a good day operating my KCS Genset with a mostly coal train and my Reading passenger train. The whole trainset ran without issue for the entire day, but the smoke units are still making more noise than they should. I don’t care enough to pull apart the model again to try and fix them, because the noise is mostly masked with the engine sounds from the tender. However the gearbox seems to be making a minor grinding noise during operation, I will be looking into the issue
