Instructions Part numbers Rivarossi FEF3
Posted by oldsam_de on Thursday, August 24, 2017 7:31 AM

Hello all,

Can someone make a copy of the manual and the parts list of Rivarossi FEF3,4-8-4. In the Internet, I unfortunately find none.

 

Thanks and regards

The HO Seeker site usually/often has what you need.  Try this link (I haven't actually opened any of the items, but you may get lucky):

I tried to help the OP by looking there, but didn't have any luck.

Wasn't Rivarossi bought out by Hornby?

Yes, they were.  And I keep seeing posts here and there where people claim that Hornby is on shaky pins these days.  So...I'll continue looking myself.  One of us is sure to find something useful.

[Edit- added] This threadpaints a bleak picture, unless one is prepared to explore eBay.  Also, Hobby Link seems to offer a lot of parts.

Good luck.  It may be time to look at a Genesis version.

I have the paper work that came with my (about ten year old) Rivarossi FEF #844. What part are you looking for? Maybe I can give you a part number. Believe it or not, a few years ago, I actually called Hornby USA, and actually got some parts for an olr Rivarossi loco! All may not be lost... I also have a lot of parts for these old FEF's im my "inventory"... let me know what you need.

Are we a team, or what?
