3665 Mechanism Issue | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

Zach KOGR Forum Member

I just bought a 3665 off the Bay with a known issue of not launching. The seller was the original owner and said it never worked properly. Upon opening the car I noticed the launcher does not seem to be seated in the guide brackets properly. I don’t see an obvious way of reseating it, short of bending the brackets. Does anybody have a better recommendation on correcting this?

Tap the pin out, re-seat correctly in forked lever and replace pin?

Thanks Chuck! I overlooked that assuming the pin wouldn’t be so easy to remove.
