Here the geared driver set is being quartered with my NWSL quartering jig. This tool is a must for driver quartering. Works very well and makes the job easy.

    The geared driver set is now quartered and the wheel gauge has been checked. The brass pins screwed into the crankpin holes are the pins needed to use the quartering jig. The pins go into slots on each side of the jig and give an exact 90 degree quarter to each driver set. For a smooth running steam locomotive the driver sets must all have exactly the same quartering angle.

    The original open frame motor and gearbox. Next posting I will post a picture of the new gearbox and motor.
