There are only 2 little plastic bits that hold the axle in place. Also another problem with this loco is that the traction tires got hard and broke into pieces. I know there are spare traction tires on Amazon for around 6€ (12 pcs.) but i also need something for the small gear from the motor. As far as i can see the wheel that sits in the track is supposed to "rub" against the small wheel that is driven by the motor. But the rubber "tire" on the wheel also broke away so it would be rubber on metal. I thought of maybe just using a regular coged wheel or leaving it as it is but i have to try out how it runs first.
@ripley802 I tried to put the corroded parts into some (cherry scented lol) "disinfectant" (not sure if thats the right word i used google translate xD). It looks abit better after i scrubbed it abit but its resting again in the disinfectant.
Thx for the Tips guys I really hope i get these back running.
