Hello shent, very interesting. So your layout has been developing for 2 years or so and therefore there is no use of talking about filing your points. Enthusiasts have advised here about compatibility between flanges and points over the years but I couldn't tell from the "for sale" advert just what you would be buying, and therefore its suitability. I wish you well and would appreciate your eventual outcome. Cheers.

Hello Shent. It is always interesting when reading a question from a new member when trying to determine just what their level of experience is, and what relevence their question is upon their overall equipment. I deduce you have considerable stock, are useful with possible conversion work and have just bought this loco as an experiment (it looks great) to supplement your stock at modest cost. Correct? Others here will/have advise you on the technicalities involved in getting a solution. It is an acknowleged fact that the flanges on older stock don't work properly - full stop. Perhaps this will influence you when considering old stock in the future as the best solution. Perhaps you will enjoy the challenge of conversion. I have had this experience, have limited conversion experience - 50 years interest in the subject, and finished up with a static model and happy!
