Problem with Timing & Quartering Loco Wheels

HO train buff Peter posts this question to readers:

“I replaced the small drive wheel gear on my Bachman 2-8-0. I have spent literally hours trying to get the timing or quartering right. The loco just will not run smoothly. I don’t want to purchase a quartering tool as they are super expensive to purchase where I live. Any advice will be appreciated.”

    If you scroll down to the search function at the bottom right hand side of the page and search for “quartering” you will see a 2012 article of mine how to make a simple quartering system. Also check that the new gear wheel is square on the axle.
