Rana Temporia Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 Does anyone know if the Tri-ang/Hornby 4 wheel clockwork mechanism parts are interchangeable with Jouef ones? I have a number of spare parts of both and wondered if they were based on the same design as they look very similar in design and size. I also have a roken Lima one that looks very similar. Having repaired. A number of both (with suitable safety glasses) I am left with incomplete versions which seems a shame, I know I could just try it but has anyone else done this?I also have a number of the old Tri-ang 6 wheel mechanisms that run well but only cover half the distance that the more modern ones do. As they all do this I assume it's normal but is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The son of Triangman Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 Parts won't be interchangable between makes for these, original Tri-ang parts can be found cheaply on toy fairs and on more expensively EBay.The locos usually run a fair distance in good fettle, it may well be that the mechanism needs a full clean and service.
