In this scale the angle does not matter as the error caused becomes a few thou, not enough to throw the timing out.

However I have a friend with a factory Roundhouse loco with Hackworth gear and it never runs properly for very long.DLRdan:112332 wrote:funandtrains:112328 wrote:I was tempted too but a scratch built loco that has not been run much makes me wonder why.

That is strange, all the Roundhouse engines fitted with Hackworth have run really well. I fitted it to my Bertie some years ago and it still runs well even though its not long overdue a rebuild.[/i]
