Re: countershaft bearings

With a little help you should be able to build a new countershaft. Which, of course, would be easier if you have access to a second lathe. I get the impression that model engineers are pretty common there, though that could just be my selection of reading material...
Would it be reasonable to ask of local acquaintances if someone? could make a new modified countershaft for you? Or are you the only person you know with a lathe??
