Hey guys,
I'm a long time collector of PW Lionel. I haven't had a layout in MANY years and even back then, I was familiar with only the essentials, regarding service. A couple of questions, please...
I received a grey 2460 Crane(LN), box/inserts. When opening, I found the back of cab crank loose in the box. A small section of the rod was sticking out from the hole. The end had a rounded area with grooves but the crank did not want to reattach and while trying- the rod receded back and out of reach.
Is there any way to 'feed' the rod back through the opening as it doesn't want to cooperate. I'm trying to avoid popping the horseshoe clip to remove the cab. Seems to not want to budge. Probably been there since '46 but will do it if no other way. Also-could this be damaged(don't want to return if not) or simply an easy fix?
Thanks in advance,
Bob in Florida
