Hey Y'all,
I cleaned and lubed my 252. Now it runs well in both directions. Video soon. The complete headlight assembly and whistle are due any day. It needs wheels but I'll have to save up for that.
My 1938 vintage #1664 now operates correctly everywhere. I tweaked the sliding pickups in opposing directions. O22 switches are not a problem anymore. I'm a fair hand with MIG welding. I'll put Operation Drawbar on the "To Do" list.
Gentlemen, thank you for your feedback.
Bill
