arfaminit Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Having removed the 4 screws from the base I thought main cover would just lift off, but it doesn't .. Help please ! Thanks ! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandwich station Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 By cover I assume you mean the body? To remove this from a Hornby Jinty (post Triang version) you don't need to take any screws out at all. On the back of the loco in the centre, just above the buffer beam, you will see an oblong hole which is where the chassis is clipped in. Push a small screw driver into the hole to depress the clip and the chassis and body should come apart. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
EddieB Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 The older (Triang Hornby) versions had a screw on the left hand side at the base of the smokebox. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ohmisterporter Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 I recall older Triang ones that had a screw down the chimney. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

arfaminit Posted January 25, 2015 Author Share Posted January 25, 2015 Just out of interest, roughly what year of manufacture are we talking about with your Jinty? No idea other than it says underneath Hornby Great Britain. In mint condition and bought s/h from an antique shop .. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

arfaminit Posted January 25, 2015 Author Share Posted January 25, 2015 Presumably pre 2000 then Yes , just researched loco number and it was produced 1978 and 1979, so it's in amazing condition for the age Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
