I have just purchased a V2 on ebay. The hook on the tender draw bar was snapped off before it arrived. I have reason to believe that it was already broken before it was sent. It is snapped off about 5mm from hook. If I cannot reach a satisfactory arrangement with the vendor, I had it in mind to glue a sliver of Plastikard underneath and even a smaller piece on top. I am not sure whether this will work or what adhesive to use. I have araldite and superglueand polystyrene cement. Will these stick sufficiently well, or can anyone think of a better way to do the job? The model is the one with the double chimney and is in fantastic condition otherwise. It also pulls at least 7 gresleys up hill (I have another V2 so I borrowed the tender to test it). I await your replies with bated breath.
