Model Forum / General / Railroads / December 2009Peco spares
Does anyone know if you can get spares for Peco products? Obviously the specific item I need is a replacement pingfuckit spring for a turnout.

Ring them on 01297-21542 and ask for 'Technical Advice Beaureau'. John. >> Does anyone know if you can get spares for Peco products?

Kadee is kind enough to include spare springs with every pack of their knuckle couplers. The tiny knuckle springs do have a tendency to get lost. SignatureMartin S. <snip> : Does anybody here not understand exactly what a pingfuckit spring is? It's obvious what it is, it's the spring that the "Fuckwit" idiot lost by not actually understanding what he or she was doing in the first place whilst trying to service a Peco point! ><snip> >: [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] >lost by not actually understanding what he or she was doing in >the first place whilst trying to service a Peco point! With stall motors like the Tortoise they recommend removing the spring so there is a possibility that s/h turnouts have them missing. : ><snip> : >: [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] : With stall motors like the Tortoise they recommend removing the spring : so there is a possibility that s/h turnouts have them missing. But then it would not have been described as "a pingfuckit spring"... Although you have suggested a solution to the intelligent question the OP hasn't (yet) bothered to ask! >>It's obvious what it is, it's the spring that the "Fuckwit" idiot >>lost by not actually understanding what he or she was doing in >>the first place whilst trying to service a Peco point! > >With stall motors like the Tortoise they recommend removing the spring >so there is a possibility that s/h turnouts have them missing. I feel sorry for Jerry, it must be so trying being perfect in a world where everyone else is incompetent. I have no idea how the spring became dislodged from the bar but I do know that refitting it with the turnout in place was non-trivial. Luckily I had an old spare turnout from which I have borrowed the spring temporarily, and John was (as always) immediately helpful in pointing me the way of a likely replacement. So as usual Jerry added noise and acrimony not content. Pity, I suspect that underneath all the bullshit he probably knows some stuff, I just can't be arsed to wade through the noise in search of signal.

Well perhaps I am, for in my trade f*cking the job up could be the difference between life and death for the customer (and/or 'by-standers'), there is no space for the incompetent and when they are found they don't last very long if they refuse to find a clue - I hasten to add that I've been in my trade for over 30 years, before the ignoranuses on the group attempt to make an wise-cracks. : turnout in place was non-trivial. Luckily I had an old spare turnout : from which I have borrowed the spring temporarily, and John was (as : always) immediately helpful in pointing me the way of a likely : replacement. But did you actually need John to tell you what is printed on each Peco spec sheet, IIRC box, or stated on the Peco website (www.peco-uk.com)? ><snip> >: [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] >years, before the ignoranuses on the group attempt to make an >wise-cracks.

Yes, that is one of the usual reason for descending into trolling. >: On Tue, 29 Dec 2009 20:48:26 -0000, Jerry put finger to >keyboard and [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] >Yes, that is one of the usual reason for descending into >trolling. I think that's a QED moment, there :-) (What's the betting that Jerry can't resist responding to this post as well?)

Once again, you prove me right :-) I don't think anyone is trolling you in particular, anyway, not unless you have multiple personality disorder. Trolling generally refers to a an untargetted attack on a group as a whole, rather than anything directed at any specific individual. I do confess to repeatedly pulling your chain, though - it's just that it's dangling there with a huge "pull me" notice on it, and it would be churlish to refuse. Mark SignatureBlog: http://mark.goodge.co.uk Stuff: http://www.good-stuff.co.uk [dishonest snip of Jerry telling us how he used to be in customer support and where I said I hoped he didn't treat his customers with the same snotty condescension he shows us] ><snip trolling> Oh, the irony. >Nothing left to reply to... After you snipped your own snottiness, troll. Was your rudeness towards somebody who asked about reoplacing the Peco over-centre spring really necessary? <snip more trolling> ><snip more trolling> There goes another irony meter. <snip further trolling> |
