Found that the reason my old Pacific won't go is a broken earclip on the gear box...

It will stay in but only intermittently and not long under load. Glue was out of the question as it is Delrin, a slippery plastic that cannot be glued. I figured by putting a centering spring on a bit of double sided tape directly over it, the tension will keep it from coming apart and remain flexible enough to move with the drive...

So far, so good...:thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:
It holds up under load and does the loop on my layout just fine....:)
