Need help in re-assembly of 4-6-4 AF locomotive
Posted by Anonymous on Sunday, October 26, 2003 7:39 PM
Greetings!

I'm in need of assistance in re-assembling my American Flyer Hudson (HO) locomotive. It seems to bind in certain areas so I need to know what angle each side should be from the other.

Ex. When the left side has the "bar" joining the wheels at the bottom the right side is 90 degrees from that position on its way up... I'm not sure that is correct but it is just an example of what I need help with.

If someone could please give me some guidance as to what degree of separation the two sides should have I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks!

Hi, Dale

You're right, it is 90 degrees.

Best regards,
Oliver

Ok, that's what I thought. I've got that and it still binds (a little) is there anything out there that could help me be more exact than the human eye for cheap?

Thanks!
