Railcarmover, Let me know where your scrap pile is.

Mine is a driver and I use the screw jack of of a F150 pickup. Haven't needed it too often but it works just fine and it is small enough to fit under the back seat of my tudor.

I can't find them on the site.

The axles use 4-40 fillister head screws. I have found them but it takes a good hardware store. I usually use one a little longer so it doesn't tend to back out. A SMALL amount of locktite helps too.

We had our race this past weekend. This is as close to mine as I could get
