An Insignificant step for Mankind, Big Step for Chris

Yesterday I undid (as in unscrewed) my second LGB locomotive since starting.  (The first remains in bits whilst I ponder what to do, as the contemplated respray is not proving as easy as I thought - but I bought that one specifically to undo and learned much).

This time it was what is turning out to be one of my favourite locomotives, not least because it gets pulled out whenever I want to do something or test other purchases - it being digital, with sound, and no apparently fragile parts.   It was bought second hand off Ebay and I realised soon after purchase that the front light had become dislodged and was shining inside the bonnet.

So, last night after owning it for perhaps 6 months it was out with the screwdriver, undo a couple of screws and move the bonnet off.   The exploded diagrams available via the link from Gartenbahn Database proved invaluable.  Also discovered that the cab light was in the wrong place, stopping the bonnet going back exactly right by a few mm, but enough to mean that the roof wasn't flat.  So, sorted that well.   Still a long way from ripping the insides out etc, but it did my confidence good (when it worked after reassembly).

Front light now working in the correct place !
