Hi
I have a Backwoods Miniatures NGG16 Garratt, and after a mechanical problem on one engine unit the (Falhaber? Grandt Line?) gears are beginning to slip on their shafts.
I’ve spoken with Loctite re. suitable adhesives or retainers, but they recommend different solutions depending on whether the gears are nylon or a hard plastic such as PTFE.
Can anyone advise on what the gears are made of, and/or suggest alternative ways of dealing with the problem?
Needless to say I hope to fix things with the motor and gears in situ - anyone who has built this kit will understand why disassembly is a last resort!
