William:

In the past I have been able to take a piece of peg wood, apply a little pressure on the third or fourth wheel, and move the train. However, this mechanism doesn’t do that without moving the wheel back and forth – eventually it will get going, but once you stop, it won’t move again until you fiddle with the gears. Perhaps, I misunderstand a seminal concept here… just going on previous experience. In the past the movements that I’ve worked on moved freely this way.

Thanks!
Tom
