Ok the first thing I done was put it on the stand, gave it a shake down. E-unit bad needed new drum. While I was inside I gave it a lube job inside and out. Part came in fixed e-unit, broke bottom finger on bottom board, need more parts. Fixed e-unit, again works but not like it should, it just doesn't sequence; the action isn't slick and smooth, but it works for now. Think I will change it to a Dallee later on. So test it on the stand runs well, it dose sound like a coffee grinder running, this leads me to thinking and from what I've read about some 4 drive wheeled steam engines, that it might need some shimming on the drive shaft. I'm going to pull it down off the track tomorrow and check it out.
