And in circles we are now going. Had some big sparks from the pilot truck/cross head guide area. Found a wheel loose on the axle, so I swapped the whole truck for the one from my parts engine. No more sparks there. I polished the tender wheels as best I can with a track polishing pad. Need a new brass wire wheel for my dremel to get a better shine on them. That or lots of running. Since this is 2 rail, the sparking you would see on the center rollers, happens on the wheels instead. Running without the black 2 bay hopper car as the rear right corner is jacked up on this old table so the Hudson slips out with all the cars in the train. The new table will fix this issue. I am hunting for a 3 rail Hudson, would swap my 003 full scale and 004 parts engines for a 3 rail 001 full detailed engine/ with 003w whistle tender. Here is the video link:
