Thanks for all the support!
So far, I am successful!
Things I wish I had done. Take a picture.
Good suggestion. Not only did the grandchildren turn over the tray with parts, not once, but several times and then...days go by and like suggested, it was days before I could get back to tinkering.
I hope to get to the 10 minutes fix. It took all day. A little timid when it comes to the solder iron. Took it slow.
And of course I started with Steam Along. He is awesome. Gordon, Percy and others are waiting.
