Reply to "Weaver - my first attempt."

Max,
Can you post a picture of were you had to cut 3mm off the shaft?
I believe you could have pushed the gear further onto the splines of the
shaft to avoid cutting, it may have required another washer on the nut
end of the shaft.
 
As for the noise... have you run the motor without anything attached?
I am thinking you might have a bad bearing in the motor.

So far the things I've found wrong . . .

 

I had to cut and split the nuts on the P&D tower as they were glued.  Lucky I had some spares from the OE tower.

 

The P&D gearbox was assembled the wrong way around - and I didn't find it until after I had fitted the lower sprocket.  Lucky I hadn't glued the nuts.

 

The shaft on the Finescale tower is 3 mm too long to allow the tailshaft to fit between it and the motor.  Lucky I had my handy Dremel to cut the end off. 

 

The fourth P&D truck has no shaft for the bottom tail shaft, so I couldn't change them over.  Lucky the existing one had a straight axle.

 

All in all, a lucky day. 

 

I won't be able to finish it as I have a band gig tonight, so I have to get ready.

 

Cheers
