General Discussion / Newbe needs HELP!
December 03, 2008, 04:40:11 PM

I have a G gage 4-6-0  Royal Blue train set.


The front truck on this loco is the power takeoff. I am not happy with the design since the entire truck is held on by the 2 wires. Not only that, there is a spring pushin against all this.  That is fine when the engine is on the track but if you hold it right side up, you are asking for trouble.

MY PROBLEM is with the plastic piece that the two wires come up through.  This piece also keeps the 2 pices of spring steel from touching each other.  MY PROBLEM is that this plastic piece is broken. 

Does anyone know how I can find the part number for this part so that I can order a new one.  OR..... Is it Possible to order the entire truck assembly?

Any help appreciated.
