All right. Those two joint cups have been fixed with new ones made on my lathe and mill. I'll be updating my website page in the next week. In the meantime I made a video of it running with the new cups installed. Still needs a little tweaking and a lube job, but it runs nice.

Good result and cool video!   Do you think break-in & lube will quiet some of the gear noise?

Lubed her up a bit with sewing machine oil. Runs a bit smoother. That's not gear noise,that's motor noise and the monkey motion of the valve train. Perhaps a little more running might help. Unfortunatley I don't have an HOn3 layout yet.
