Pete and Lou -as I have time I'll take a close look at the tender wheel sets. Its acting very similar to scale wheel sets trying to make a turn, they just ride up the rails.
@Allegheny My scouting days have long passed, but a few of us old guys still manage to do some wilderness camping from time to time. I rather enjoyed the winter camping, forest sounds are completely different and I was not in a bunk cabin with a bunch of "odiferous" scouts. Agreed on watching the boys grow up. The program done right helps build fine young men. I suppose we'll have to add fine young women as well but that happened after I "retired" from the "only 1 hour a week" scout leader program.
