Richard,
Nice job getting that thing rolling again... it was a major hoot seeing that little guy dance around the floor! I laughed out loud when the chain flew off! [ Guests cannot view attachments ] (Sorry!)
I'm with you on the Weedens. There are some nice ones, and I've got a couple in my collection, but they're not my favorites. They were a "steam engine for the masses", and it seems the cost saving measures took a toll on long-term quality. Just my opinion.
