Hello All, first time posting here. I'll start by giving a little background.
I am the proud owner of a 1'=1' former GMO caboose. It is numbered 2831 and was built in March of 1913.
I also have Been working on a small shelf type layout for a long time It has handlaid track with scratchbuilt turnouts. I also enjoy scratchbuilding structures. and hope to in the future incorperate this layout into a larger one.
Now to my question. I am finishing up a sctratchbuilt brass 4 4 0 American i built from plans out a 1952 MR mag.
I used the drivers and axles from an old german loco because they had the right diameter. 70 inches i thing. the problem is the wheels are wanting to spin on the axles knocking them out of quarter. anybody have a solution for this? glue??
Any help will be appreciated,
t
