Hallmark Brass N Scale ATSF 2-10-4 Upgrade and Repair

[@jonathanletterman9692]

I own this exact model today, I bought it years ago via eBay to test it myself against two others, an original and one with DCC/Sound. Leave it alone and get a wider radius. This model needs no upgrade and it isn't broken, needing repair. At 19 inches, it may get confused at the frog on corresponding short radius turnouts. The true original model, begins to perform at 22 aches, and with a train behind it, is best left to 28 inch wide radius and better. Also it works best at #10 or longer turnouts.

Hi. I used to do this for customers on a regular basis, but I don't anymore. Sorry. The time commitment just got to be too much.

put some lithium grease in that gear head to help that brass stay even more lubricated
