Hello everyone,
I am French and I come to acquire a big hauler columpia 2-4-2.Superbe machine features: sound and smokes .All it comes from a loft .There is no transformer but it is not a problem I have alternatives. After cleaning the whole, I started with the idea to roll this thing ... but surprise! the machine makes a strange noise, like a rattle. So I disassembled the device and it seems that the plastic gears have taken a shot of old. So I looked on the parts catalog to look for spare parts, but I have not found anything that seems appropriate. There is indeed this: Motor w / Gearbox (Large Old 2-4-2), but my motor is horizontal ..I assume that my engine is an older model and the parts are no longer available. Am I right ? Does it exist an alternative to revitalize this beautiful machine?
I apologize for my English, but my friend google translation
Thanks for your help
Guy
