Great idea, Bob. That post disengagement can be annoying. In fact, much as
I like my new 4-4-0 I find it a real bear to re-rail--getting the pony on track,
and the drivers, and the tender wheels, which you can't see because of the
covers over them--and then the post falls out of the draw bar![Angry >:(](https://www.bachmanntrains.com/home-usa/board/Smileys/default/angry.gif)
But, again, problem solved and I'm grateful for this forum.
