Thanks everyone for the input. <br /> <br />Long and the short of it is that there has been some discussion of roller bearing retrofits, for rods and/or axles, on a recently-restored medium-large loco that has had some rod bearing difficulties. Although I have a mechanical engineering background, I suspect that this issue is so much a function of experiential considerations that I am not remotely qualified to address the practicability, much less the pros and cons, of such a switch, but was only trying to get thoughts on whether it is a realistic notion. <br /> <br />You've given me some good food for thought. <br /> <br />Dave <br />
