Hi folks,
More help please.
On Sunday I purchased a Triang Britannia Loco (R259) from a Toy Fair. The loco has the motor in the engine body.
I would like to check out the motor to make sure the brushes and commutator are OK and give the spindle a drop of oil.
My problem is that I don't know how to separate the body from the chassis. I have looked at service sheets but they just refer to the mechanical parts.
Can anybody help please?
Regards
Jack
Look for a screw through the footplate in front of the smokebox.
Haha, I thought from looking at the subject line that you were going to ask about how to model the suicide clean-up crew :-)
...and (and it's a long time ago since I had a Tri-Ang Brit) a screw through the chimney?
Or.
They only had one. The chassis slotted into the back of the body.
That's what Triang originally used until they introduced smoke units. when they had to move it.
If he's got the service sheets, he should see the small flat-headed screw but not the body.
Thanks for the clarification. I wasn't sure.
