Large / 2-4-2T Manual/Instructions
March 23, 2019, 03:14:01 AM
Hi all,

This is my first post as l have some arthritic problems that preclude me from active participation in 7 1/4" rail operations at the Diamond Valley Railway in Eltham, Victoria, Australia where I live. I have decided I can work with G Gauge, and recently bought a new 2-4-2T for a very good price from a local dealer. Got it home and unpacked it, and to my dismay (and obviously that of many others) there was no manual or instructions of any kind.

Does anyone have any such? I have searched until I am blue in the face (matches the Version 3 B&O 4-6-0 Big Hauler set I bought) but can't find anything. I have found the instructions for the 4-6-0 but nothing for the 2-4-2T, an all-black US-style one. I don't particularly want to start running it until I get disassembly and lubing instructions to make sure all is well as I don't know how long it was on the shelf. It is a lovely quiet and smooth runner on short test however. Instructions are needed as I suffer also from butterfingeritis.

Thanks,

Pete.
