hi again, my loco has suddenly stopped running. you can hear the motor running and getting up to speed but not getting any power to the wheels. it was working fine. my other loco is working great. i have noticed that before i couldn't manually turn the wheels but can now. any advice

Sounds like the gears have become disengaged, I would suspect the worm gear has either moved on the motor shaft or fallen off completely.

Motor may have come loose. Only has to lift a minuscule amount to disengage. Have a look, take a picture and come back and show us.
