I was running this locomotive I just serviced today, after 40 years of sitting in a garage, and it ran fine for about 15 seconds and then it stopped and stalled, then I noticed the bent side rod. I fixed it, then ran it again, same thing, bent side rod. My question is, why does the pin that enters the cylinder caps, come out enough to catch the side of the cylinder cap hole, and stop, every screw is in place, and it was put back together correctly, but for some reason there is just enough room for it to catch. The arrow points to the pin that enters the cylinder.
