Well, today I actually had a few minutes to tinker. So I pulled out the consolidation which I haven't touched since I purchased it a couple of months ago.

I was able to get all the running gear aligned and lubricated. Freed up the gearbox. Aligned and oiled all wheel sets. Checked for contact and clearance issues. I think for the first time in twenty plus years this thing is now running.

Everything moves smooth and freely by hand turn, but it is a GROWLER!!

Not sure if it is the worm gear slipping around or more likely, there is also a sprung universal link on the shaft from the motor to the gear box. More work than I have time for today. One more thing on the list...😉

I've posted photos previously when I picked it up, but here's a few more new ones.
