Ps.
Jeff told me others have complained. Lionel.s reply was they wanted to keep the look. Instead of using a flathead screw.
So. It's something we have to modify to work.
That’s cool, I’m glad you were able to come up with a remedy riki, .....I’m curious on how you did your part number referencing.........did you rely solely on Lionel support off the website, or original documents from the 90’ parts breakdown? How did you come up with part numbers piece by piece? .......the reason I ask, in the picture you posted of the bolt not being able to pass by the rod, the eccentric pictured has the rod riveted on. The OE 90’ model has a separate screw that attaches that rod on the small end of the eccentric. I’m sure the OE part is NLA, and it’s substituted with another part.....I’m guessing you got all your parts from Jeff?....what was the part no. for the eccentric that was sold to you? .....if you don’t mind me asking....these tidbits of information might help the next guy with a broken part from 18005....Pat
