cadaken, as was stated earlier, your not going to satisfy your critics, so why bother?  I think you are doing great.  Learning to work on your locos and rolling stock is on of he most important and gratifying aspects of the hobby..  I have not bought any used equipment, but I see nothing wrong with that.  If you can buy something at a cheap price that requires some TLC, but not a lot of parts, you are only out the time spent repairing it.  This is time that you would spend on your layout anyway, so its basically free. On your problem with a piece of rollig stock that a wheel is going out of guage  after about 10 hrs., I put a drop of CA on the back side of the wheel and axle to hold it in position after twisting the wheel on the axle to get it in guage.  The one thing you fail to mention about your e-bay purchases is adding the approx. $10.00 S&H  charge on the items.  This makes some of those buys not as atractive. Just my opinion.  You know opinions are like rear ends in that everybody's got 1!<br>
