Thanks Derrell, we used the Walschearts on both the 844 and 3985. I know how the eccentric and link blocks work, because I had to. But to explain to someone that the overhead lever on the bogie was for the Johnson Bar and setting the link blocks for forward, reverse and moving them closer toward center while moving for greater steam efficiency is a bit too much to describe. I hope that Google has a virtual working model.
