This is my first-time post. Thank you in advance to everyone who shares their knowledge and expertise on this forum.
I am trying to reassemble the motor and truck (wheel assembly) on my Lackawana. The motor spins freely, and the gears on the truck spin freely, when they are apart. When I put them together, the entire assembly is frozen. What am I missing?

Hello & Welcome to the Forum...
l had a locomotive that had a similar problem.
The gears were worn and didnt mesh, so it locked up.
l had oned l accidently put back together out of quarter, and that locked it up.
Your Lackawana, which one is it? they produced a variety of them.
My favorite was the Camelback.
This is where pictures would help identify your loco & its' problem.
My guess is to make sure your gears lineup & everything well lubricated.
Happy Rails...
