Thanks for putting up a link to the "exploded" view. Now, I finally know what you
mean by putting o-rings on those wheels. For the longest time I couldn't figure
out what you were talking about. The o-ring goes inbetween the rims of the hub.
Use two o-rings and ones fill in the space inbetween the rims and hold the second
o-ring in place, and the second o-ring acts as a flange to keep the train on
track. Now, if I could just buy 4 red waggon wheels I could finish my Centenial
engine.
Thanks Ben!
