Hs anyone made an Apple iPad operations software app yet?  - Nevin 

Item: Athearn SW-7 locomotive, converted to DCC.

Finished painting, DCCing etc, but no have an issue.

On the ends, the coupler has the standard Athearn metal clamp over the chasis tongue.  Since this is an engine, the tongue is metal, not plastic.

The tongue has a couple of knobs, one on each side, for the metal clamp to snap over.  On this engine, 1 of those knobs is now gone.

2 possible fix its I can think of:

1.  Super glue the clamp to the one side.

As I'm in the midst of building a new layout and don't have any track down yet, I'm relegated to running virtual trains on my track plan with my track planning software. A while back I asked some questions about how the prototype would handle cuts and pulls on a road freight pulling into a local yard. The answers I received were really helpful. But I find myself with another question now.

Hello, not sure if this is the correct place for this, but I  have a question regarding a 1986 New Bright Wintersville express (I believe G scale) that my grandfather gave us a couple of years ago.  The engine will come on and light up, but the wheels won't even make a full rotation as if they are catching on something or need lubrication.  I have put new batteries in as well.  Any ideas how to fix or find a new engine?  Ebay does not have this particular engine without having to buy the whole train.  Thanks for any tips.
