Title: Bemo DB Class V 251/2 Bodywork Problem
Post by: berryr99 on March 06, 2012, 16:42

The bodywork of this loco is attached to the chassis by 4 tabs ( 2 on either side) which locate into approprite slots on the chassis.

The loco is quite old and over time the tabs have slightly worn so that the chassis can fall off when you pick up the loco by the bodywork (it has just done so again with spectacular results)

I was wondering if anyone has had to deal with this issue and if there was an obvious solution which I am missing

Thanks

Bob

Assuming you don't want to glue it or put screws in it then I think you'll find suitably placed Bluetack should work ok, Chivers used to recomend attaching some chassis to whitemetal bodies with the stuff and I've found it does work surprisingly well!
