I'm trying to locate a copy of the instructions for a backwoods 009 K1.
I had a kit built for me a few years ago & it's never run correctly (1 engine unit doesn't run, the other works in fits & starts & in reverse only, & it derails on curves & points of any radius). The builder also omitted to return the instructions.
I've found a professional who is willing to try & investigate to solve the problems but would like a copy of the instructions to assist.
If you have a copy of the instructions for this kit, please could you PM me.
Also, any advice from anyone who's had similar problems with this kit would be much appreciated.
Many thanks.
If it's never run correctly is asking the original builder to sort it out an option?
Danny
Danny, thanks for your advice.
In theory that would be the best way (& much easier), but it's now nearly ten years since it was built & (if they're still in business) the builder's 9000 miles away. Hence in practice I want use a third party who's experienced in sorting out problems with complicated kits.
If there's anyone out there who has a set of K1 instructions they wouldn't mind copying, or has proven expertise in successfully building this kit, I'd be very interested to hear from them.
Might be worth dropping Chris Ford - 009 News Editor - a line to ask if he can put a wants add in 009 News (address is in the News somewhere though contents@009society.com might do the trick). This forum really only get to 10% of the members whereas a quick note in 009 News - something along the lines of "Wanted - set of instructions for Backwoods Miniatures K1 Garratt. If you can help please e-mail Dunstan at emailme@somewhere.com" will get to 100% of the membership and might get a result.
(Sorry, I haven't got that kit, so haven't got the instructions to scan and the e-mail - would if I had though.)
let me have your e mail address I'm on feldon@otenet.gr
