I have a 332AC whose rear drivers slip on the axle, which, of course, is the one with the gear. So it sits still and won't move (like a smoke in the boiler version of a smoke in tender steamer in neutral). I imagine the splines on the axle and/or the drivers are worn smooth. Super glue didn't work. I have plenty of axles from previously junked steamers, especially Atlantics. My easiest source of an axle would be a set of drivers from an engine like a Franklin where the bottom of the frame unscrews and drivers come out together. Are all the geared axles on AF S gauge steam locos the same? I know that I've seen plastic and metal drivers on the same steam loco, so I would guess they are.
Has anybody else had this problem? I've had loose wheels and loose tires before, but this is the first time I've seem a steam loco just quit moving like this! Mike Vana Omaha, NE.
