HO / Quartering tool
February 21, 2018, 02:02:16 AM
Hi guys,
I am thinking of purchasing a NWSL 44-4 "The Quarterer"tool.I am having serious frustration in trying to quarter two of my Bachmann "Connies"!!I have spent hours trying to get them right .
Has anyone used this tool with success on a Bachmann 2-8-0?
I would love to purchase the Quarterer 11 from NWSL, but super expensive for me given i am not in America.

Reghards

Thanks Jonathan. Any thoughts on the binding/grinding noise ?

HO / Connie 2-8-0 gear problem
January 22, 2018, 03:40:53 AM
Hi everyone,
Please forgive me if I am repeating a previous topic thread.
I recently replaced the drive gear on two of my connies. I ordered these from NWSL.
Once I had replaced the gears, I really struggled to get the wheels quartered correctly.After many hours, I was able to get as close as possible ,to what was correct.however I now have a terrible binding like noise coming from what I think is the drive gear! This was not here before I replaced the gears.
Is this what many refer to as "binding"? I see that NWSL also sell a gear aligning tool. Would this solve my problem?
