Good runner! Is it 0 gauge?
funny you should ask.
24mm wheel spread It runs on lionel 0 track but the front truck and guide wheels are wonky. I recieved this with it broke and re sautered i think the wheels are still a bit to far apart the front raises the drive wheels too much and they get stuck on the itty bits of the underside inc piston. i dont know of front wheels are original I may tinker with more. Photos i have found of this model show black small spoked wheels.
I soldered 1 wheel set on based on the patina ghosts to the middle 0 bracket with washer. there are 3 washers and a spring No combo seems correct.. Curves on O track until then will be wierd.
What do you think? I think its O and i need to refix front wheels. When they stop hitting the train Im sure they will be track ready. I think resoldering 3mm closer to centee pivot will make all the difference.

What a great runner Cant wait to let it lose on the track. This one is old.
Does anyone know what the front lever is for its labled 1 and also 1/2 if i see correct. I think someone told me or mentioned but I cant seem to recall.
It seems to be oil control or throttle? Many Thanks
Enjoy the vid.
