Has anyone ever replaced USA sliders with LGB? I thought some one had, but can't remember.

 

[Jim Agnew]

Yes, they're a direct replacement.

LGB made 2 basic types of sliders, just make sure you get the latest ones, not the split case ones.

And believe it they are in stock. At least some forlks have parts. Later RJD

PIKO also makes a G-scale slider that drops in for most LGB locomotives as well, so people should be covered for a long time. " align="absmiddle" border="0" />

edit: item numbers are useful, no? 1036110 Pickup Shoes, 2pcs.

Hi James,

Thanks for the great info!

But you left out where to buy them from, so ;-)

There are many great retailers that carry the PIKO line, so I didn't want to limit anyone! But our Shopatron system does support local retailers as well as service customers in a speedy manner.

Thanks!

James

Hi Bob,

The LGB pickup sliders are now sold by Massoth; exactly the same product just in a new packet! I recently had some problems with my geeps getting stuck in the frogs of my large radius points as the sliders were slipping in and getting caught. I swapped them out for some of the Massoth ones as they're a direct replacement, and it completely sorted the problem. It's a neat trick that saves having to bend and twist the USAT sliders.

All the best,
Gavin
