Running Improvements

Bill Winans reports that when he took the super-structure off, he noticed that the central gearbox and the motor bearings were making odd noises. It turned out to be the connecting shaft between the motor and the gearbox that had its universals pushed out to their very limits, binding both sets of bearings. A quick manual adjustment got the model running smooth and quiet.
