Hornby CLOCKWORK TINPLATE LOCO NEEDS REPAIR in Collectable/Vintage Posted June 18, 2023 On 06/09/2020 at 07:42, TEAMYAKIMA said: Hello A friend of mine at work has asked me for help. Her father has inherited an O gauge tinplate railway from his father. Included is a broken 0-4-0 loco. I know nothing about O tinplate and so I come to RMweb for help. I have not seen the loco myself but she has sent me this photo. Here is the chassis. Her father thinks/assumes that the spring has split. Questions 1. Can anyone guess the actual problem - ie does this problem look familiar? 2. Can a spare part be sourced? 3. If so could an average non-modeller make the repair? 4. If not is there anyone out there who can? Thanks for any help Did you ever manage to fix the clockwork mechanism? I have one of these with a broken mechanism I'd like to fix it anyone can help me?
