Reply to "Lionel 6-84271 Baltimore & Ohio GP9 #3419 Gears do not line up properly. Is there a fix that does not invlove Lionel Service Dept?"

WBC,  I have some 3/16" Steel E-clips I used to replace all the Lionel silver e-clips on my sixty-nine 21" passenger cars I purchased and detailed with Preiser 65602 Unpainted Seated People that I painted in 2018.  I had three passenger cars arrive with trucks dangling by the wires that I repaired with new steel 3/16" clips from Home Depot.  The soft silver clips opened up easily on many cars that were about to drop a truck before I replaced the e-clip.  It was usually the e-clip on the truck opposite the wire up to the cars lights. (Non-Vestibule end or rear of car) 

I just bought more 3/16" Steel E-clips for the four Add-on UP cars and nine Santa Fe cars arriving in December 2019.  I will give this a try.

Sincerely, John Rowlen
