No surprise really. The RC hobby is much more popular than ours, and RC vehicles are designed with abuse in mind.

If only O scale manufacturers could contract with the RC factories. Of course its a bit of an apples an oranges thing.

Having said that, I'll bet theres rarely a time when and RC car comes out of the box with parts falling off.

Another interesting thread Pat. Something else thats wayyy above my skill level, but at least I have the peace of mind knowing where I could have it done should the need arise

Yep,...and the moral of the story is that there’s other avenues to repair these things as time goes on, and parts are either made out of unobtanium,  or simply so expensive it negates a repair. This repair should save somebody from having to make an expensive articulated locomotive a shelf squatter,....sometimes we’ll have to think outside the box to come up with a solution,....this one is definitely a winner,...Lou actually was the one to make the suggestion, I just so happen to be the one to put it into service,...😉....I think he likes to wait & see if my junk is gonna blow up before he attempts this crazy crap himself!...😆😆😆
