Folks, you know when you have that feeling of "I wish I didnt do that" ?................
I was using a mates magnificent Elephant model at a show last week.
Well, that was until I got a bit confused with the controls & drove it off a small bridge thing we had.
It derailed a track, then......
A bogie unit fell off it.
he was really good about it, hes that kind of guy, but I am devo'd
If any of you have or know where on this planet I can get a replacement part for this, I would be very grateful

I assume so, but it could be an Asiatam , allegedly this one has some improved bits in it ?
Ive looked in the Asiatam site but gave up...........plus I dont have a good rep with them (Mr painless will remember !)
Just one arm for the left side is all I need.

I understand, I would also feel not happy when you accidently damage a nice model from a friend

Hey Mr Herman, I can help with the lower bogie arm, I had some one cad one up as mine had failed, if you have a printer or some one with a printer it's stronger than the original. Sadly the upper arm I cant help with.

Asiatam still sells the replacement parts, but I believe they come in a set.

Sadly that pot metal leaves much to be desired

write an email to asiatam, I'm sure you can get the parts separately as well.

If you are able to Mr Jhamm, could you perhaps write to Asiatam (being a local) and ask if they have a single left side arm and whatever the part is called that carries it is, I dont need the wheels.
Ages ago just after I joined here, I ordered some stuff from Asiatam & it was a disaster.
Took almost 5 months to arrive & not a word from them .I'd given up and purchased a duplicate set from another supplier.
I'd really appreciate your input for me on this Sir, its way more than a printed bicycle this time
