Reply to "Lionel PRR T1 drive wheels issue?"

My Lionel scale T1 would spark on MTH RealTrack O72 switches.  It also had no cruise and two-double chuffs/rev.   I had the engine upgraded with EOB cruise and at the same time had the center drivers beveled.  The EOB board gave me four double-chuffs/rev as well as cruise.  I should have had him do an upgrade on the smoke unit.

The guy who upgraded the engine took it apart to grind down the drivers.  That was a big mistake.  He had the engine for months trying to get it back together.  While you will need to be careful of the metal filings, my recommendation is to bevel the wheels while the engine is in one piece.
