Ripley's TnA (talk n action) Collection

[ripley802]

ripley, asking on behalf here, do you repair, or know how to repair, the steam along thomas'? thanks

Yeah, in most cases. They are similar to the TnA in the setup. The tender (in this case Annie) with the 3 batteries, switch, etc... Is basically the same. The bad thing is the battery terminals. I have yet to find a suitable replacement for those. Sometimes they can be cleaned up and get them looking like new again but sometimes they are so pitted and lost the nickel plated coating that they are no good. I have some spare parts for the America version, like the wheels, circuit board, etc..

Biggest thing I have seen in these has been either cut wires where the train moves but there is no sound or steam and then the severe case where all of the batteries are corroded.

Let me know and I would be happy to help.
