96RAF Posted November 29, 2019 Author Share Posted November 29, 2019 As it is new and the supplier is admitting it is faulty by offering parts, then you should send it back to them under warranty and let them fix it. I make it a matter of course to check, tighten and lubricate every new model as loose screws are often reported on the forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColinB Posted November 30, 2019 Share Posted November 30, 2019 I have found it is a really good idea to buy the Hornby nut spinner/runner. It is a great help in tightening up those small nuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walkingthedog Posted November 30, 2019 Share Posted November 30, 2019 Anybody playing trains should have some nut spinners, a set of flat and cross head screwdrivers and some small pliers at the very least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
