Falk has seen a fair amount of running, and so far no problem. I really ought to drill into the interface of the wheels and axles and glue in something like a 1/8" diameter pin as a key. This way if one of the wheels ever does want to slip, it can't. I fixed Charles' Gool Bug that way when I quartered it. Jerry Deaton had originally relied on Locktite, but the engine jammed against a loose packing gland and one crank rotated about 90° out of position.

Thanks for the info gentlemen, I will try for a press fit and if I run into problems I will the Locktite System with a locking pin. Many thanks to you all. Don. MODEL ENGINEERING DISCUSSION LIST.
