    cleaning wheels

    On many diesel locomotives, There is the peice that looks like the springs and brake assembly which is snapped onto the sides of the wheel trucks. If you CAREFULLY pull them off with a small screwdriver, you can get to the wheels for cleaning. Take gentle care of the pins that snap it in...

    You've Got To Be Kidding!

    I agree. Pay Pal is a pain pal. I did get the Pay Pay credit card. (had to) It seems that Ebay isn't accepted by many bank issued cards. I use Ebay for the "can't find anywhere else items"

    Having the B&O freight line less than a football field away made it easy for me. But I can understand if people aren't sure which line to model. Especially if you didn't have a railroad all that near.
