Hello everyone .... Thank you for your kind words ... how does one replace the springs ..it looks as if you need to pop rivets ?????
The springs are flimsy at best .... however I'm blessed that they have had together the times that I've run the JAD trains....Rob this motor I think is different ( smaller ) than the Hiawatha ....it is held in place buy a sliding hook ...if not secured your motor drops out .... oh the power of gravity .
I'll grease her up and flip her upside down turn on the juice and walk away for awhile .
Last night got some shelves up for the stream-liners... walls are not long enough !!!
I prefer the JAD Hiawatha with the aluminium body ......on the wall once you see a Jerry Brown set ... the JAD COP looks like a toy ... oh that's right they are all toys...
Video link to the Hiawatha chasing it's tail ... straights are coming in the next layout ...
Cheers Carey
