Hornby R2429 class 50 50002 plate below cab distortion and crumbling. This prompted me to thoroughly check my 50002. I can thankfully report no sign of Mazak rot anywhere, so hopefully for others with this model this is a more isolated issue. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bogbrush Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 (edited) A couple more in better lighting. Happily, replacement chassis are cheap and readily available so my old loco still runs well. I draw the line at replacing the bodyshell. It is what it is and it wears its scars with the dignity of old age. No Trigger's Broom analogies here!

Elaine Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 (edited) My first Tri-ang victim in 16 years of handling these loco's, Hornby LMS Princess Elizabeth from Royal Train Set R1057 has been flagged up this week to me, Hornby were contacted reply " not a known issue with this model" frustratingly we are dealing 3 Hornby Railroad 9Fs in the sick bay, 2 with tender chassis rot, replacing internal unit frame with class 47 and one locomotive chassis frame bent like a banana fitting a UK made chassis block which needs a new valve gear mount making.

TimberValleyRailway Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 Hopefully 50002 won't be too bad. A mate is 3D printing a spare part for me - hopefully it's gonna work. The chassis has got some cracking on... I'm hoping to heck and back it's not 'rot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Sandpiper Posted April 4, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 4, 2022 Does the PDF linked on page one of this thread still exist? The link doesn't seem to work anymore.

leopardml2341 Posted April 4, 2022 Author Share Posted April 4, 2022 I suspect it's due to the server migration. I've asked if it can be restored, but if not I'm afraid it might be lost forever as the device I had it backed up to has also bitten the dust. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
