Nice locos! Did you have any problems with the trucks causing shorts if they touch the rails? I needed to do a fair amount of work on mine to: a) prevent shorts by the trucks touching the rails b) re-gear them using Gene Maddox replacement gear sets he has a stock of from the old Bobbye Hall Hallmark spare parts inventory c) put glass in the body shells and engineers in the cabs.
Hey John, I don't recall their being any issues with the trucks shorting. It's been a while since I have messed with these little beauties. Wow -- you did do a bit of work. Replaced the gears - ?? I will get back to mine at some point. I want to add the lower headlight - and, if I hadn't done so -- add window glazing and decoders. Thanks, Wolf
