@TheOReg posted:Looking for feedback on two things along the subject of glue repair.
Just received my first Lionel O Scale Legacy Diesel delivered today. The shipping carton looked like it had seen its share of handling. Upon opening the inner Lionel box was perfect. However once I got the engine out of the box two things (mind you I am extremely careful unboxing) I found. First is that the bottom step on the left front truck had been snapped off and floating in the plastic wrap.
I've seen and used CA or Super Glue for other plastic repairs and find it a bit to be desired, like C&O Allan mentions above. Not to wake an old thread but any other tips or glue options out there? Maybe from Lionel?
- Attached is a picture of the step that was snapped off.
Secondly in picture's two and three, noting the left side cab sunshade visor (sorry if that's not the proper terminology.) Does that look like it had been re-glued or something? The right side picture three, looks to be attached more nice and even and seems to have different angle when looked at straight on from in front of the cab.
Thanks in advance everyone! Happy Locomotion!
Hi TheOReg, Few months ago I purchased online a new FEC SD70 . Upon opening, found 3 pilot steps and one air hose floating around in the box.
I called Lionel customer service and sent them an email with a photo of the broken parts along with a copy of my sales receipt. Two weeks later I received both front(with plow) and rear complete pilots.
