ETA 2893-1 Service Walkthrough - Part 2 - Reassembly

[sstakoff]

I am in the process of reassembling my 2893-1 - see the previous (part 1)  post for disassembly instructions, etc. I will post pics when complete. But I have hit a bit of a snag. I have discovered that the fourth wheel is not seated properly on its post - it is slanted which causes it to wobble in the train. I am struggling a bit to try and find the correct combination of stake and stump to repair this. I have managed to improve it, but not enough. Here is a pic from the disassembly thread that shows the construction. It's the wheel on the bottom. If you zoom in you can see that it is pressed onto the pinion. Curious if others have preferred techniques for dealing with this.

Sorry to hear that about the wheel! We'll wait in anticipation! Hopefully it is fixable. There is a caliper to check them...regretfully that one is in my next shopping list pending wife approval!

Cheers,
