The Lindberg SW sure has a strange drive. with the shaft pulleys and spring coupling to transfer power. And doesn't it only have one powered truck? ********************* frankThanks for the info on the 0-4-2. When I received it in the '60s from a friend, it had the front pilot so I assumed it was supposed to be there.
Yes, the Lindberg had only one powered truck. I sent mine to a fellow mrr on another forum several years ago. He had purchased one of off e-bay and I sent it to him for spare parts.
