Re: [CBQ] Lambert 2-8-2

I have one and had to work on it but nothing I felt was too bad.  The 
biggest problem was the drivers were all narrow and had to be eased out with 
a NWSL puller.  I made sure the rods still cleared everything after I 
re-gauged.  The trailing truck was a strange double connection that made it 
impossible to back without derailing.  I put a piece of thin piano wire from 
the screw on the frame though both trucks - it appeared to have this 
originally and it runs fine.  You could also just solder the two pieces 
together.  I did add a big can motor and an old constant headlight circuit. 
Its top spead is now about 50 smph.
    I made numerous changes to the details as I wanted a FW&D version but 
that was my choice.  I am pleased with it and it is a favorite of the 
grandkids when they  come.
    If it is a reasonable price and you are willing to spend some time, go 
for it.
