enginear joe Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 I am still absorbing that there's a gear problem. I thought they were bullet proof. I wonder if MTH would replace the gears for you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbrown7713 Posted February 11, 2017 Author Share Posted February 11, 2017 You are right, I checked again and I couldn't get it to mess a cog, so I must have had the gear box too loose when I checked it the first time. I might have solved the top single hanger for the piston rod, I am in the process of printing a large picture of the loco, but here is what I have. I will have to cut some of the guide on the bottom off, should look ok and I will have to stabilize it so that it won't fall off. Bob.

enginear joe Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 I noticed that (skipping) when I bought an engine that had a few screws that were loose. Just a few threads allows the gears to skip. They must have precision tolerances that must be met/ kept. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbrown7713 Posted February 11, 2017 Author Share Posted February 11, 2017 That is what happened. Solved the connecting rod problem, close enough for the girls I go with. Little more grinding at is there. Bob. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rbrown7713 Posted February 12, 2017 Author Share Posted February 12, 2017 I started another post with a better Title, couldn't figure out how to edit this post's title, so all future posts will be under the new one. Bob. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
