The universal shafts have disintegrated, however... Should the drive give me that much more trouble, I will replace the components with American Models trucks which seem to be indestructible. Happy New Year! Bill Winans Prescott Valley, AZ I have heard via the infamous S grapevine that the brass ALCO FA gearboxes suffer from the same condition as the brass RS-3 -- namely expanding contaminated zamac and axle/gear binding. I was wondering if this rumor is true and if anyone has experienced this problem? And, if so, is there an easy fix?
