No, I purchased this new BUT many years ago and do not have any proof of purchase so warranty is out.

Jim,  you mentioned a screw in this assembly.  There is none on this loco.  That's why I said it was a poor design. If I clipped the wires the whole assembly would come off.

Please give me a little more detail on your "FIX".  Like I said, I am a newbe.  I had the train for years but it has been a Christmas thing for the grand children.

General Discussion / Newbe needs HELP!
December 03, 2008, 04:40:11 PM

I have a G gage 4-6-0  Royal Blue train set.


The front truck on this loco is the power takeoff. I am not happy with the design since the entire truck is held on by the 2 wires. Not only that, there is a spring pushin against all this.  That is fine when the engine is on the track but if you hold it right side up, you are asking for trouble.

MY PROBLEM is with the plastic piece that the two wires come up through.  This piece also keeps the 2 pices of spring steel from touching each other.  MY PROBLEM is that this plastic piece is broken. 

Does anyone know how I can find the part number for this part so that I can order a new one.  OR..... Is it Possible to order the entire truck assembly?

Any help appreciated.
