Title: N Scale Doodlebug
Post by: Poppy on September 10, 2010, 06:03:49 PM
I have a Specrum series N Scale Doodlebug that was attacked by a grandchild! Is there somewhere I can get an exploded view of how the linkage goes together? I don't seem to have the original paperwork.  I am having difficulty figuring out if something got broken or not in the linkage. There is a single offset nylon pin in the brass connector from the motor to the linkage. When put the nylon linkage into the brass hole with the nylon pin, it just pops out again.

Anyone?

Thanks,

Poppy

Are you talking about the driveshaft assy. from the electric motor to the powered truck?

I think he may be talking about the coupler swivel mechanism. The best thing I have found is to eliminate it and install a body mount coupler set back a little father with a long shank to deal with the extra swing due to the long overhang.
