They would not, because a train could not move in zero gravity; since there is no normal force, the tractive effort of any locomotive would...
I believe the MT-3 and MT-5 are now the 1023 and 1025, respectively...
Me too; I use 00-80 flathead screws that I got from Walthers years ago...
Me too with my C55's. The gauge is fine, so I suppose it must be due to residual stress from the molding process...
