Rossi Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 Bit of a long shot, but... I've been clearing out a few boxes of old railway stuff and rejuvenated a couple of old Lima motors. The problem was when I searched for the appropriate chassis they were broken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aussietmrail Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 Hi Rossi, yeah the same happened to me a loco a friend sent my for spares or a dummy loco the chassis had actually broken in the middle from either wile in the post or he dropped it and didn't tell my, luckily I was able to glue the chassis back together, he had the wrong weight which didn't help as too heavy. The loco is a Lima a German 103 class electric, I managed to find a eBay seller in Italy that rebuilt the power bogies and bingo now the 103 electric is running well for a Lima, one loco I way after, can put 10 wheat hoppers and 5 coaches with ease. I came across a eBay seller that that sells spare parts, not sure if this loco shell and chassis will help you out, didn't see the broken is a Deltic. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/tr198-triang-oo-s-h-spare-early-cl31-blue-bodyshell-trailing-bogie-c-w-buffers-/162087463917? ash=item25bd2a6bed:g:mVUAAOSw3ihXTGfZ He has about 40 pages, Tony from down under Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rossi Posted June 23, 2016 Author Share Posted June 23, 2016 Well, managed to turn my hand to Ebay bidding. Now got both parts. One at reasonable price, the other a little over the odds. Then of course, fell for some other stuff that caught my eye. Might have to treat Mrs Rossi to something! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rossi Posted June 24, 2016 Author Share Posted June 24, 2016 Mmm...thought it had all gone well. Now one of the sellers has refunded my money. No explanation. Weird, so I emailed him, but still no answer. His star rating is showing full. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
traingeekboy Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 I am in the same boat. I need some loco drivers for a recent loco purchase. the ones on the loco have the rubber tire worn off. Strange about the money. I assume you use paypal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
