Hello all, I have an older Rivarossi 4-6-0 loco, the Illinois Central RR Casey Jones type. I bought it at an outdoor swap meet and brought it home and found it would not run. Turns out the motor is not the problem, the right-side driver on the rear-most axle is rotated slightly ahead of its partners and the connecting rod binds up, so the drivers won't turn. Should have noticed it while inspecting it, but missed it. Anyway, the drivers are pressed onto the axle, can this be rotated back into proper orientation by hand without shattering all the spokes, or does it need to be pulled of the axle, oriented properly and pressed back on? <br />-Hank
