I have a 3rd Rail Allegheny. Hot Water pointed out that I should alternate the position of the front set of drivers to the rear, some time ago. George just wrote an article covering this on the latest Lionel release. He asked if there was interest about doing this to the 3rd Rail articulated. Although I had the engine totally apart, I just don't remember the mechanism so I would like him to cover this in his next article.
