mikesndbs Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 (edited) Hi I have one of the lovely Crabs but notice the valve stems seem to droop and work at an odd angel. There does not seem to be anything designed to retain them in the proper place. See the photos for clarity. Top one shows correct alignment. What can be done please?

RMweb Gold Rowsley17D Posted February 11, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 11, 2022 It looks as though the circled bracket has been bent down allowing the valve spindle etc to drop down. Sorry it's so small. This is how mine looks. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikesndbs Posted February 11, 2022 Author Share Posted February 11, 2022 FIXED! A simple fix was found, given the rod does not move at all, Simply turn the loco upside down. Lift the rod away from the peg and apply a tiny bit of super glue to the underside of the rod, press down on the peg and leave for 10 mins. All done and looking much better Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
