Little Valentine gone wrong
Hello guys These last couple of days I've been going through what little I have left of my collection, most of the remaining engines have had a go in the stand following a good clean and lube.
I ran a load of the little fellas too, the AEs, Bambi, AH, etc and then I go to one of my little Valentines and as soon as I took the back plate off I sa that not only had the conron bent but it looked like it had been mutilated too.
This was a great little engine and had powered a couple of models before so I was gutted to see that probably my most friendly small diesel was broken.
I have no idea how this could have happened because it's never stopped abbruptly, locked up or been in a crash. Certainly nevr been touched by an electric started.
If anyone has an ideo how this could have happened it'd be great to hear.
I am writing an email to Ron right now to look for a replacement part.
Pics coming soon.
Thanks guys
