got your file and it looks great, thanks. not sure how to separate the parts in an STL file. I opened in solid works and all I see is one part that I cannot work with.

The Long Island H-10 is owned by Bob Wattecamp and Jan and I are the part time crew. The H-10 is 3 years old and I've been fortunate enough to be involved with it, since it was delivered in Florida. Great engine to operate and just now really getting broke in. It will be a good runner long after we are.

The transformer can be set to half throttle and that keeps anyone from cranking it all the way up.

You don't know how this game is played.
You never mention the actual price.
When asked, and only if/when asked, you list a bunch of projects you could do with the tool, even though you know you will never get around to doing half of them.
You can also explain that you aren't wasting money like (someone she sort of knows) by going out drinking, partying, wasting money on a broken down old boat, or car, or whatever frivolous thing that person does. Also, while that person will still have a broken down whatever when he is done throwing money at it, you will have a tool that will retain its resale value.
Then there is the savings in that you could make such and such instead of buying such and such.

I have it automated so the three trolleys take turns entering the empty track left from the previous departure.

The smaller #1 couplers are even more appreciative of a "solid and proper" mounting.

I took a slightly different method to fix, but I have indeed shimmed the ends of the axles to eliminate the severe side to side play.

The pictures don't show it nearly as bad as it looks in real life. Even old, weathered structures get something new now and then, so I think I'll re-shingle the roof and just wait for it to weather again...
I DO appreciate all of the comments - there's a lot of work to re-doing this and it WOULD be so much easier to just leave it alone... less
