a leaning craven

[UP6936]

Hi there,

one of my cravens has been listing over to one side a bit for a while. any ideas how to fix this? The coach still runs fine but it looks a bit odd in a rake of steady ones

Have you checked the bogies?

They are a bit fiddly and can get a bit out of kilter at times

Remove the screw and see if the coupler is correctly sitting in its depression

The 2 lugs should be forward of the 2 retainers

Spring should also be attached to the rear of the coupler

Failing this get the rest of the coaches to lean to the same side and say nothing!

I will take a look at it the next time I see you. Had a couple of mine do the same. The problem can be fixed with a small piece of plasticard.

thanks Anthony, glad there is an easy enough solution.
