Dear Charles, I had a discussion with our engineers about this last March during a trip to China. I told them that the gear arrangement they had designed made the drive noisy and we wanted to change this to the switcher design where the gears rotate on the steel axles instead of using the 12 oilite bearing per F unit. They did not believe it made a difference, so a test was conducted between a F unit chassis with the switcher gear box and the standard F unit. They told me they would upgrade the gearbox tooling at their expense. We will see the new gearboxes in the next run of F units. Best regards, Don
