Description
Renovating A Sweet Pea Locomotive Built In 1987 - Part #25. Taking a close look at the Connecting Rod Bearings. Making adjustments to the Big End Brasses at both sides. I also examine the small end bearings which are within operational limits. Should all of the tolerances be too tight then the suspension will bind, and also if the rods are too tight derailments can occur very easily. https://www.patreon.com/keithappleton
