I'm trying to rebuild an older 0-6-0 switcher ( slope back tender) model number ( item 50601 )
On each on the axles - there is a nylon part with square holes in reach end - where the wheels insert. The Nylon part insulates the DC+ ( engineers side ) from DC- Fireman's side keeping the wheels isolated.. Two of the nylon parts are only cylindrical - and the center nylon spacer also has the drive gear.. My nylon parts are cracked and the loco won't hold wheel width spacing.. If I can buy the parts - Great.. Alternate is super glue to hold the wheels onto the spacers .. any other thoughts on adhesive??...Any other thoughts.. .. Thinking of drilling and pinning too
I know I could just buy another.. but I'm a retired engineer with too much time on my hands.. Thanks John
