Rivarossi Heisler Repair Source
Posted by gyurick on Thursday, August 12, 2010 12:33 PM

I have a Rivarossi Heisler (HO) that I really love but it runs poorly. It jerks and stops rather than running smoothly. I have cleaned the wheels and oiled the gears. I'd like to grease it (as the manufacturer's manual says, in Italian, of course) but I am afraid that if I take it apart, I'll make a bad situation worse. I really don't have the skills to do the repair work. Can you guys recommend someone trustworthy to work on it?

Thanks,

No matter where you go, that's where you are.

If you repost this in the "Model Railroader Magazine"(see the top of this page) forum I'm sure you'll get more of a response..
