    Hi - My BLI Paragon-2 consolidation locomotive was running fabulously since I purchased it about one and a half year ago. However, when I took the product out for a run yesterday after about 5-6 months storage time, I found a irritating, sharp noise coming from the smoke generator. The noise is synchronized with the 'chuff', so my guess is the smoke generator fan is the source. Here is a video:

    Has this happened to anyone else, or anyone has any idea what the noise is? Is there any way to rectify this without opening the loco? It doesn't seem like much in the video, but it is quite an irritating sound and ruins the realism.

    Thank you in advance for your help.
