Hi, where can I get a replacement bogie (black plastic - 30660.162) for an RhB passenger coach 30510?
A working fix would be to super glue together then fuse some wire into the framework inside. Will make a good strong fix, don't linger too long with the iron though just enough to get the wire into the plastic.Hi DickyC, thanks for responding. My bogie looks different to 33670. The springs on mine are at the centre (see photo).
I've got some of that plastic glue that you cure with a UV light which has done wonders with things I didn't think you could mend. Not tried it on LGB's offerings though. Somewhere in the garage I have a huge box of parts that include a selection of bogies. Might organize an expedition if the OP doesn't find a solution to his original request.A working fix would be to super glue together then fuse some wire into the framework inside.

Unfortunately, I tried melting a couple of pins to the back of the broken part and the whole thing caught fire and ended as a small pea-sized blob on the workbench having given off some pretty rancid fumes!!I've got some of that plastic glue that you cure with a UV light which has done wonders with things I didn't think you could mend.

Noted. I'll see if I can find anything in the next few days. Can't promise - if you saw the inside of my garage you'd understand better.Unfortunately, I tried melting a couple of pins to the back of the broken part and the whole thing caught fire and ended as a small pea-sized blob on the workbench having given off some pretty rancid fumes!!

Hi DunnyRail, not sure what you meanSo what dis you use?
Sorry finger error, what did you use to make the thing catch fire?Hi DunnyRail, not sure what you mean
I gently heated the metal pins with a small torch (not to visibly red hot) and laid them onto the plastic which immediately started bubbling and reduced almost to nothingness before my eyes. There was no chance of saving it.Sorry finger error, what did you use to make the thing catch fire?
Not good news, I'm afraid. Found the box of LGB bogies but none of the type you need. I know there are two more boxes somewhere , but they will be PIKO and Bachmann. Sorry I can't help.Thanks Mike
