Talking T Gauge

I was trying to take some pictures in front of a mirror, and then a dropped an end car, and then... and then... when I saw the remains... A SPRING WAS MISSING!!! I don't know if it was missing before, or I just lost it, but now it's GONE! Crying or Very sad

Does anyone have any extra springs, or do I have to wait until they become available from Eishindo?!? Will it work w/o it Question

(P.S.-I will actually post pictures today if all works out...)

What kind of spring?
A coupler spring?
I lost one of them in the carpet. They're a goner....

No no, when you open up a "KUHA" light car (which I've had to do many times), there are springs that make the contact between the trucks, and some metal strips on the roof of the car. I tested it, it still works, because the other truck still has both springs Very Happy

I asked Eishindo about replacement springs (lost a coupler spring somehow).

They told me that the spare bogies, springs and MOTORS are available through the dealer network.

So I've asked tgauge.co.uk to get a heap of stuff in on their next scheduled order!
