Its been about 5 years since my last attempt to fix this loco. Finally located a worm gear since the old one had missing teeth. Still can't believe how loud metal gears are!! Got the smoke box running and a new headlight and now it chugs away almost like new. I still have a tiny bit of resistance due to my not having a quatering tool and had to line it up by eye but I can live with having to run it at a slightly higher speed when I want it slow. <br /> <br />Then again I'm sure in 1965 steam ho locos didn't exactly crawl to todays standards [8D] <br /> <br />Just wanted to share my joy. Anyone know what one of these is worth nowadays? Not that I want to sell it, its just more of a curiousity (sp?) thing. <br /> <br />-Dale
