Mike C. I did put new sets of trucks on both of them along with some graphite. I'll try to flex the trucks now to see if it will make any difference.

Other than making my own new style drive shafts PN-9852-1 which have been sold out for more than a year does anyone have a new source for these. I did try some ones from Atlas but they are to long.

Does anyone know how to prevent these 4-4-0's from just doing the sit and spin. Locomotives have new traction tires and Tenders have new trucks but the sit and spin issue still prevails. Is there a way to adjust the Tender truck wheels to allow it to roll?
