Trade: American 2017/Stainz bits for your European 2015/Stainz b

All:

I have…

US bell, smokebox numberboard, oil box headlamp, cow catcher (missing one flag pole) from a LG&B 2017 (the bits are black and silver, no red).

I would like to trade for the Stainz lamp, Stainz coupler, and Stainz smoke box handle.

The steam dome…I cannot get the lid off of the boiler (LGB glue joints give up when you don’t want them to, but this won’t budge of course) but I may have it also for the Euro unit?

Thanks!

Garrett,

Try “extreme cold”, put it in the freezer for 24 hours and then try to remove dome. :wink:

Garret. I might buy the headlight and bell if the price was right, but I don’t have what you need

Ric-

Possible, but I don’t think they used the rubber PlioBond looking stuff on this part. No problem, I will most likely do a boiler swop.

Mik-

Could be arranged, I would love to flog it all, and include the driver I assume you still need?

yes please on the driver… and the rest. I’ll look again for the lever safety thing, but, I think it went years ago

Garrett,

No problem on what glue holds it together. Extreme cold and hot creates expansion and contraction that stress all joints. Many of the glues become very brittle when really cold. However, so does some of the plastic or other materials that are glued together. Care in handling needs to be considered.

True Ric, I did not make it clear above, but this joint might be a solvent-melt the plastic type joint vs true glue, but still worth a shot, or swop out as I would need to paint the boiler anyhow.
