Reply to "Does the Lionel PRR T1 from 2000 have any real operating issues?"

Stripping the engine was easier for me.  With everything off, there was no chance of damaging anything when I was grinding the wheels down.  With the frame fully exposed, I was able to put the frame in my vise to hold it upside down.  I then used one hand to hold the dremel and the other to turn the wheels.  The T1 is actually a simple loc to take apart.  Like I stated above, the correct way would be to have the wheels pulled and put on a lathe.  Since I was doing grinding, I didn't want any stray metal getting caught in the rest of the loc.  By stripping it apart, I only had to clean the frame and wheels when I was done to ensure no metal shavings were left.
