Don't get me wrong, Pat. I'm not complaining. I'm actually surprised she's been able to communicate with me at all. I only mentioned the Lionel route because if there any any useful parts I can pick up for 50% off, I'd like to do it. And that sale only lasts until Saturday I think. So there's a timing element involved.
I won't be buying from Pittman, I'll be buying a Lionel motor to use.
@Lou1985: I'll be OK with swapping the bearings on the worm shaft and tinkering with the worm engagement. But if the Lionel one is not a slam-dunk (like the motor will be) then I'm ok waiting to see what Midge can dig up.
Thanks for all the guidance, guys.
