[C320-list] Genoa Cars

[Jeff Hare]

You could try replacing the retainer bar. Flip the car upside down and slide
the retainer back an inch from the end and tape it loosely in place
(centered side to side).  Then feed the bearings into the slots on each side
and wiggle the bar so that the bearings will slide down to the other end.
Put the same number of bearings on each side.

That's just a guess based on how I recall it working when I loaded our cars
onto the track.

I made the mistake of removing a car and had the ball bearings all over the
deck.
Any one know the secrete of how to replace them into the car?
I have the retainer stick.
