Question: 84" is a big driver, even for a passenger loco. Did you measure the diameter of the tire, or did you measure over the flanges?

Alan, if I were facing the project, one of my main concerns would be keeping the rim concentric with the axle. Getting the tire off center will cause the engine to lope and wobble down the track. As a

Vic, ?Thanks for the tip my son has a kite made out of mylar if its the right thickness I might give it a try,he'll never notice an 1/8 wide sliver missing from edge. ?Alan

I have heard people nowadays use mylar. You can get it at Office Depot. I think it is used for drafting? How to do it? Not so easy I imagine. I have heard of people doing it, but I personally never

Alan, HO scale is 1/87 of the prototype. To convert the actual size of an HO scale object, in this case, your drivers, to prototype size, multiply your measurement by 87. .965 x 87 = 83.9 inches (84

Is there a suitable replacement for insulating paper between driver center and tire anyone knows of and how did you do it,the tire slid easily off driver due to missing (burnt out)insulation. Alan

Vic: ?That method of installing wipers on plastic trucks is just brilliant! ?Sure beats heck out of the method of constructing wipers and drilling and tapping I've been using. ?I'm going to rush

In addition to Richard's tips, make sure the wire lugs screwed to the drawbar posts on the loco and tender aren't turned so they are touching. That will create a dead short between the loco & tender

Does anyone have a close up picture of valve gear installed on a Bowser Docksider? Am in the process & the directions seem a little vague to me. thanks. jerry

Hi Dave,John Brazaitis responded also with a very nice offer, and his advice on hardwiring is the best. I would not use a Bachmann tender for lots of different reasons, especially the fact that it is
