Hornby new P2 front bogie fix.

I am still testing it but I may have found a solution. In mine there seems to be an issue with the stepped bolt holding on the front bogie so what I did was put two thin spaces under the shoulder. These are the type you use for spacing on the valve gear. They have to be thin otherwise you won't have enough threads on the screw to get a decent fixture. The loco has been happily doing circuits of my layout without derailing which it would have done without the fix.

Just to add, tried the fix on my other P2 and that know runs properly. I will add, the back to back spacing on the front bogie was wrong which initially threw me but once I had fixed that, another success. So I suspect the shoulder on the bolt is about 0.5mm too short.
