I am trying to fix up some old models some of which are hard to find either parts or service sheets etc. Though, I can usually work out which bits go where on the model, it is difficult to get spare parts. I have a real nice old Liliput steam shunter (probably based on an OBB Austrian shunter) but the valve gear is missing on one side. I think I have been able to upload a photo (not mine and was used by the seller to advertise the item).

It is missing valve gear on one side and a motor. It has some lovely internal circuits and has lights in the front and back. The back ones shine out through holes where lanterns are placed. It is a beautifully made model. I will try to upload some of my own photos once I find the lead for my camera (probably missing due to the upheaval in the house due to nesting and awiating a new addition i.e bábóg, little bambino)
If anyone knows of some way to
get Liliput service sheets and spare parts
can they let me know. I do not want to spread commercialism but a few pointers to suppliers etc would be helpful. I would of course prefer to buy direct from the manufacturer but this may not be possible.
I have managed to get contact with Bachmann spares (and hope to get parts as easily as some Hornby stuff). I have sent an order a few days ago and am awaiting a reply. I did get an email back from their service department after about a week which is good sign with a request to send a list of requirements.. I have sent off for spare parts for a project rebuilding a patriot class Bachmann (Nameplate Western Australia R/No. 45568). I have my fingers crossed.
