Whilst wiring my new loco's DCC socket into place 'old butterfingers' here dropped the Kato 11-105 bo-bo chassis on to the workbench. With a miniscule 'ping' the grey plastic drive shaft from the motor to the bogie turret 'escaped' and has lost itself somewhere in my workroom's grey carpet!
If anyone has a dead Kato 11-105 bo-bo chassis with driveshaft that they no longer need I would appreciate the chance to buy it!
Please contact me via PM on this site.
It was one of those days yesterday. Walked into my office and spotted the missing part on the carpet in a place I would never expected to see it ... way hay! Back in business it seems.
Fitted drive shaft, picked up soldering iron to wire the motor for DCC, sneezed (I have a cold), caught the plastic chassis with the soldering iron and melted it! Bugger!
Ordered a new chassis from Amazon and it arrived this morning, wired it up and we have lift off on the new model.
Lesson learned, don't solder when you have a cold!
Bad luck :( Well, you have plenty of spare parts now! ;D
