I figured I'd show the #666 running in both directions! YAY!
Edit: I actually found a bottle of Super Glue and put a dab on the steam pipe leak areas. That did help! If my timing is right, when I move the lever into reverse, it will bounce and run in the reverse direction with out me having to nudge the balance wheel. I think have gotten all the performance I can with this little 666 - which now its a pretty good runner all things considered. To bad it doesn't have a throttle, that would allow you to build up steam.
