leopardml2341 Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 For the spacing 'washer' you could always use a sliver of wire insulation of the appropriate colour and diameter. I used that dodge to take up excessive sideplay after correcting back to back dimensions on some early Hornby diesel motor bogies. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRman Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 Not all versions of the Hornby Q1 had the oil lubricator drive and linkages, in line with the real ones. You could consider checking photos and renumbering to suit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold RFS Posted December 7, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 7, 2020 As SRman says not all versions had the assembly and R2343 is one of those. See the Hatton's picture. I believe the ones with the assembly have a longer crankpin than those without. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gromitdog Posted December 10, 2020 Author Share Posted December 10, 2020 Thank you leopardml2341 , SRman & RFS for your replies I have managed to find a spare X9282 for Peters Spares so hopeful fully it will fit and keep the main drive cog in place instead of forcing it off after a couple of revolutions which then stops the wheels from driving and the motor spinning Once again thank you both for your help and advice on with this matter Nige Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
