Gill,i just recieved the re-gear kit from NWSL and installed on both engines.Runs better than they did when new.It took no more than 20 minutes for installing gears in both engines.Used the vise and a short piece of tubing to press them on.Gil Finn said:Let me how that works for you. If they cant help me then I may try the kit myself.
I was speaking to a guy at Davis Trains today and he said it was a waste of time.
I may then use it as a static display or a dummy.
