Hello, Has any one tried to put in a hardware store spring? The first one I tried was way to strong.
Thanks much, Unclepeterr

It is a very light spring.
Best thing to do is contact a parts person like Train Tender and order an official reproduction lionel spring. Have done this on several and they work perfectly.
You will buy lots of springs that won't work well at the hardware store.
Part number 3376-16 available from Brasseur
I have just used a weight at the end of the shaft it balances out no need for a spring
