I always thought the I-5 Hudson was a great looking locomotive. I don't follow the NH, but that doesn't prevent me from admiring the esthetics!

To the eccentric crank problem: I think the 3D printing idea may work. You will have to send out the good on as a template. Question: Do any of the other parts associated with the valve motion bind? If so, you want to free them before installing the 3D printed crank.

The other possibility is forcing a VERY small amount of JB weld into the worn joint, then tightening the crank in position while the JB sets. You will have to be spot on with the crank in the proper position. Be aware that going this route means you may never get the crank off again.

Best of luck to you with this fine looking engine!
