Has anybody taken the front pilot off of the 0-4-0 Porter?

I have removed the front coupler and the screw right behind it, but it seems something is still
holding it.

From looking at the schematic, looks like it should just slide out

Help!

Thanks K

B'mann, will the rear truck for the ON30 shay (which is sold out) be available again?

Is it on back order, or that's it, not available anymore?

Thanks for your response.

I am a new member, although I have been reading the forum for a couple of years.

I have recently purchased a dc shay (beautiful model). My problem is it will not
go around an 18" radius curve with the "engine" on the inside of the curve without derailing.
Seems the front truck doesn't swivel enough. (Rear truck swivels much more)

I think the telescoping square drive shaft is bottoming out. Anybody else have this problem?
Any thought's ?

Thanks in advance, K
