Mornin', guys. tac here over in the wilds of East Anglia, just wondering if anybody out there can help?
Some of you will know that I am a keen fan of the White Pass railway, and like many, I was totally hooked when the Aster/LGB Mike #73 appeared.
Sadly, my experiences with this sadly jinxed model here in UK meant that I had three before I got one that lasted more than around a minute and a half before self-destruction took place in the gearbox drive.
The loco I have now was accompanied back from Nuremburg with a personal letter from Herr Richter, telling me that the company would 'stand behind the repair forever'.
That letter, as with the promise, of course, is now just so much buttwipe, and my loco began to make the ominous death rattle of impending self-destruction a couple of months ago, since when it has been sulking in its box.
What I am after, then, is a parts diagram for the Aster/LGB 21832 White Pass Mikado, so that I can contact LGBoA, or whatever they are called these days, and ask them for the correct bits to repair the thing myself - since nobody here in UK can do it.
Any help would be very much appreciated.
TIA
