N SCale - Quartering drivers? Help Please!

Model Railroader General Discussion (Model Railroader)

Hi;

I have an N Scale Bachmann 4-8-2. I was trying to fabricate a spring for the front pilot to see if that would improve tracking and removed the plastic cover over the gears (between the drivers) to remove and install the pilot. All was fine until I bumped the engine and the drivers came out of their mounts in the frame. I thought I had everything back correctly and put it on the track. It ran a foot or so and the siderods popped off the second driver on the left side.[:(] Obviously I didn’t have them quartered properly. Can anyone please show me how to properly install the drivers? Pictures of both sides of the loco would be very helpful. [:)]

Thanks,
Tom.

I don’t have a steamer, but I remember a post about your exact problem, they posted the method you use to get the drivers in sync. You may want to do a search on quartering drivers or something along those lines.
