I was adding Kadee couplers to my Accucaft Shay #5. I noticed the loco was not centered on the track. /DesktopModules/NTForums/themes/mls/emoticons/crazy.gif
Front.
Rear.
Looking at the relationship of the foot board to the tie it is apparent how far off center the engine is.
Measuring the upper bolster the hole is off set toward the drive line side.
If I can reverse the upper bolster it would center the loco.
Using a 3 mm nut driver and a #0 philips screw driver. Remove the bolts next to the upper bolster. And two of the small screws that hold the brake hanger to the archbar frame on one side.
