ALCO RS-11 by Rapido Trains

[Schraddel]

Hello,

let me show you what i have found too and how these bugs can be easily eliminated. The bugs here are not the electronic ones, but real mechanic ones.


At first the loco is standing even onto an even ground. There is a collision point between bell and brake cylinder when the truck is turning.





To fix this bug is easy, remove the bell and glue it a little more to the end of the loco. May be this is not the 100% exact placement, but there is no more danger of a collision.





The second type of bugs is concerning both trucks. Here is hardly ever space between the brake hangers and the gussets of the tank mountings.
I have looked intimately if i have something mounted in the wrong way. But this was not the case. On not so plain flat tracks the trucks will collide with the gussets.





The elimination of these bugs is simple too. Take a file or a motor tool as i had done and the gussets will became, i call it so, a little more "gussety".





The result are freely turning trucks and this on bad uneven track too.

Still not done here
