Fred,
It is coming along beautifully. You are using MATO bogies or wheels? Should be a simple fix then, Sir. Good luck, she is really beautiful.

By the way Fred...you're bogie problem... could it be the axle screws may have snapped... they are pretty thin...and since you've already tested her in water... they may have developed rust and just snapped ...Just a thought ;)

Good Luck...deadline is right around the corner :thumbup:
