Reply to "Southern Pacific Cab Forward by Key Model Imports"

Are the eccentric cranks on the Key model held in place only by the pressure of the nut?

On the two Sunset/3rd Rail engines I own, the position of the eccentric cranks is determined by a narrow tab cast into the back face of each crank (like a "key") that fits into a slot in the main crankpin. This seems like a pretty secure arrangement, as long as the slot in the main crankpin is in the right place when it leaves the factory.
