Middlesea John Posted October 11, 2023 Share Posted October 11, 2023 My 6-year old grandson has a Hornby tender drive 2P 4-4-0. Sadly his 2 year old sister dropped it and part of the flange of one of the rear wheels of the tender drive has snapped off. Any idea how I can remedy this please ?

According to the 2P service sheet (downloadable here) the part number for a set of tender wheels is X8303. I can't find it advertised and in stock anywhere, however.

34theletterbetweenB&D Posted October 12, 2023 Share Posted October 12, 2023 The wheels or complete wheelsets can be swapped about, a missing flange won't matter on the centre axle, (I'd consider trimming it off completely )that's one option. Any local model shop or show with s/h has potential for spares. I don't know the 'geography' of this Hornby-ex Mainline product: it's possible that there are compatible parts from either, and more broadly from further items in these ranges than just the MR type tender of the 2P and 4F.

I can supply you a complete assembly of the motor and wheels for a very reasonable sum plus postage - £10 in total. Just replace the existing mechanism and wire it up - its a few screws and a couple of solder joints to complete the installation. Steve Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know I couldn't do it myself but I know a man who ... er ... might. Thanks again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
