| | | From the NMRA show, can someone post instructions or give a clear explanation as to how the motor/clutch gears/switch get put together?

(Still waiting for someone who knows they have the stiff switches to try (...) (21 years ago, 19-Aug-03, to lugnet.trains)

Gee, I thought I might get an answer sooner than that! :-) Too early to tell with any certainty about BFPDX, but I did run it by my NLSO and she's OK with being in Portland on Valentine's day, so hopefully everything else will fall (...)
