85A Models O scale RTR Hunslet shunter.

[toplink@()1989))((]

Hi folks, I have bought an 85A Hunslet O gauge rtr shunter. It was last run around 1995/7 so as you can probably imagine it is in need of some re-commissioning. 

From initial viewing it needs a damn good clean of the running gear. I attached wires to the pick ups and the motor turned but threw the worm gear off.

Also the coupling rods, both sides, came away from the centre wheels. Doe's anyone know if there are replacements available? The crank pins on the centre wheels also seem to turn in the wheels which seems odd, is this right?

Anyway, a couple of photos.

 

 

 

Thanks for looking. Pete.
