Hey Dan, Like everyone has said; DON'T GIVE UP! I want to see this model work too. I know it's fun to operate a model but Modelman has said in the past to me that building it and the challenge is more fun than just operating it. I have found that out with my dragline. Once this is figured out you will be able to say; "I've been there and done that"
With my model as time went by and more information was acquired, there are parts earlier on in the build I made that I could go back and re do to make it even better. So with your trial and error now you know what you have to do and I know you can do it! Who cares how long it takes, This is supposed to be your hobby to relax. There isn't some customer who has no knowledge of what it takes to do something breathing down your neck wanting it done NOW!
