Hello,
i had just the same kind of failure:
![[Image: dsc01912l1bmo.jpg]](https://abload.de/img/dsc01912l1bmo.jpg)
Got from a customer a elder Fujiama 2-8-8-2 brass which does not run. Someone had rebuilt before the loco by using NWSL 1:28 Hi-Lo gearbox set. Anyway the loco would'nt run proper. The rear geabox was very rough running.
The reason is shown on the photo above. Left side the original shaft bearing with a very tight fit onto the shaft, right a brand new bearing from NWSL.
And a closer look onto the left bearing shows spinning marks on the outer side. And second, note the outer shape of the bearing. It should be cylindrical, not of this artistic free formed conoid.
Fortunately the gearbox casing was not so worn out as yours, so that only a new bushing was the solution to repair the gear box.
