brassnut Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 (edited) Hi folks anybody. Out there that can help me find this chassis I'm stumped it's hdi try to repair but sadly I made it worse broken hearted any advice i would appreciate it thanks anthony Edited October 20, 2018 by brassnut Wrong spelling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murrayec Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 Hi Anthony Here is one way of fixing it- remove the broken pivot from the chassis, insert a brass or plastic bolt through the hole and epoxy it in, epoxy a washer or two in the centre of the bogie to get the height right and to allow the bolt go through the washers, when set- slide the bogie onto the screw with a washer put on a loose nut so the bogie can wobble n rotate, loctite the nut when your happy with the fit;- Eoin 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

murrayec Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 Hi Anthony I use EVO-STIK or Araldite, but I suppose any epoxy glue would be fine. If buying EVO-STIK or Araldite I go for the screw on cap tubes- the double syringe option has many problems, it's fine when new but as it gets older the quantities come out unbalanced!

Colin R Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 (edited) Hi Brassnut, Loads of stuff on the internet, but the basic of basic has to be Ohm's Law V= I X R i am not sure if this will work here but here goes anyway The Ohms Law Triangle V -------------------------- I X R How this works is simple, replace the various letters with the known values in our case V = 12 (volts) and lets say R (resistance) is 5 Ohms You get a diagram like this 12 ------------------------ 12 / 5 = 2.4 Amps I x 5 Transpose the 12 to be divided by 5 and you will get 2.4 Amps this then take the place of I (Current or Amps) in the triangle, it is all about basic math's of plus, minus, multiplication and division. Here is a site I have had a brief look at so I don't know how good it is. https://learn.sparkfun.com/tutorials/voltage-current-resistance-and-ohms-law/all But it should give you the idea of what you might want to know if you want to take up electronics as a career, check out Amazon for any electrical educational books, but be aware that those from America deal with different voltages and power cycles. One site in the UK is worth looking at and that is the IET site, while it is British the standards are now mostly trans European and should be complied with in most of the EU https://www.theiet.org/resources/books/ Hope this helps regards Colin Edited October 24, 2018 by Colin R added infomation 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jhb171achill Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 The logo on the front is vaguely reminiscent of one used by PJKA, the Indonesian railway authority, in the 1960-80s period. But neither the loco, the livery, or the markings are any more Indonesian than they are Cavan & Leitrim. I would guess it’s a “makey-uppy” thing, like some of those early “CIE” models of crude British outline locos and coaches in even cruder “Irish” livery.

brassnut Posted November 3, 2018 Author Share Posted November 3, 2018 I'm greatful for your knowledge guys I'm just puzzled it runs pretty well has 3 coaches bearing the same logos .green body and sliver roof on the coaches would I leave it alone or try painting the set in CIE colours??

murrayec Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 A very common logo in the car & motorcycle world https://www.google.com/search?q=wings+wheel+logo&client=firefox-b&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwicrN_9s7reAhUB_KQKHVGcBw0QsAR6BAgGEAE&biw=1280&bih=891 There is a thread on here discussing the origins of the flying snail logo, where we came to the conclusion that the Persians came up with the winged logo for their God- Aru Mazda (could have spelt that wrong) and since then all have adopted it in some fashion....

minister_for_hardship Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 (edited) If German, the Crown would mean it's one of the old pre Deutsche Reichsbahn companies. Could be Royal Bavarian State Railway or something. Don't think it's 40 years service, 40 may be just the staff id number. The model loco appears to be carrying the old SNCB livery and logo.

The model appears to be based on the German V200 diesel locomotives, there were broadly similar locos in use throughout Europe the Irish assembled V200 seems to have been available in British Rail, Belgian, Danish, German, Norwegian, and Spanish railway liveries.

Garfield Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 Probably intended to be a representation of the SNCB class 51s (or one of the visually similar classes 55, 60, 62, 64 or 65)... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The railways here didn't have those as far as I know but CIE bus drivers did get small star shaped ones for 10, 15, 25 years safe driving.
