LGB12060 Manual points actuator thingy.

[Hal Farsed]

Hello again, I just wondered if anyone had any spare points springs knocking about? I took the ramp off one of LGBs finest R3s the other day and the spring catapulted itself into the void. Needless to say there followed quite a bit of time on my knees, muttering at the floor, but alas to no avail. If anyone has one or knows where I can get one or has a 12060, or knows where I can get one, I would be most grateful. Many thanks.

LGB do not have springs under the only Piko. look carefully are there holes for the spring. Also if you motorize Piko points the spring should be removed.

Have you thought of a good sweep of the floor and using a good strong battery on the detritus collected?

Shouldn't that be a magnet?

I'll scan with a flashlight skimming the floor while laying on my (rather large

) belly. It's a method that's worked for me more often than I care to admit.

Oops yes Magnet.

Same thing happened to me! Went to GRS at Risboro & got some from them. Doug

That seems the more attractive option (with apologies to David)
