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!
