Clockwork springs

Please note: before you ask for replacement or repair, make sure that it "clicks" when you try to wind up the spring, even though the spring is expected to be broken and / or does not tighten!!! Only if it clicks the clock is repairable!

Replacement:

I'm able to provide NEW clockwork springs for loco clockworks. Spring length is 1370 mm and thus is good for at least 13 semi-windup rounds (as the original). The price 15.- €uro.

Repair of clockwork springs:

Since the steel used for the clockwork springs is very hard - making it nearly impossible to machine or repair it, the manufacturers used to anneal the steel in order to drill / punch a hole of 2.4 mm into the "inner end" for fixing it to the wind-up wheel. And this is the position where most of the springs are broken today. The demounted spring can be repaired - "cold punching" is possible - just find somebody  (I can) who is able to punch 2.4 mm holes. You may then replace the spring. This repair work - if possible (not all springs are worth being repaired) - results in a little shortage of the spring  and subsequently the clockwork is not running as long as before. But this is a possibility to have "scrap" run again.

Price for the replacement or repair works is 8.- €uro - plus actual shipping fees.

I do ship clockwork springs - 19.- € incl. fees in Europe and overseas!!!

Possibly you have experienced this fact already - a gap between frame and clockwork. At the front section of the loco causing the engine to derail especially on turnouts/switches. And you have asked yourself: How comes?

Alteration / conversion of the 1502 battery truck

14. For several reasons the contacts inside the battery-tenders are often broken or rusty and thus no longer serve as they should. I can offer the conversion for the 1502 Battery Truck from 3 x AA-batteries to 3 x AAA-batteries.

You send me your 1502 battery truck and I will insert an AAA battery holder - using remade cables and plugs. If you need plugs as well - you will be asked for that in mail-order-form. This conversion including my expenses for shipping cost.

At least EU compatible batteries - especially low-cost batteries - serve the tender - rechargeables still do not fit.

Order the 1502 tender conversion here.

 33.-€ for shipping in Europe and 39.- € for overseas shipping.

Replacement cable-Sets for the battery tenders 1015 / 1502 / 1504 / 1520 / 1521

13. I can provide complete cable Sets for the 15XX tenders. Each Set consists of 2 yellow/red/blue or violet cables with crimped-on plugs and red isolation hose. These Sets are already configered to be used in the 4-axle coaches. If you want to use them in the twin-axle tenders you have to shorten the cables on your own - but that should be no problem. Red, dark blue and violet cables are available as well - please state that when ordering!!!

Cables for the 1504 E Shell battery tender have to be ordered separately!!! In this case crimping and riveting has to be done inside the lid by your own.

Europe: The Set-price is 5,00 €uro / pair - each extra pair is 3,- € - shipping included.

Overseas: The Set-price is 7,00 €uro / pair - each extra pair is 3,- € - shipping included.

12. Finally I found a fellow collector who managed to reproduce the wheel handles for the 511 side tippers. Only the white version will be available - and needs a fixation by means of a drop of glue!

The 1st wheel handle costs 4.- € in Europe - each further wheel costs 1,50€ - (all incl. shipping). Overseas charges are subject to individual calculation. You may order here.

Signals

very often the base / socket, which is pushed onto the prolonged sleepers, for the 022 signal is missing. Here you will see how the create a re-make. In principle the base / socket of the switchers, "home" of the lever" is identical - just 2 small nuts are missing for fixing the 2 "noses" of the signal's base. These may be made using a 1 mm drill.

Crew re-makes

for the 504 crew wagon - also used at the excavator- and crane trucks 758, 759, 860 and 864.

Really excellent re-makes. If you are interested please contact. The price is 8,50 Euro / each - plus shipping. Not really cheap - but really worth the price.

Treads for the excavators

I'm able to provide remakes which do fit really excellent. Available are both known tread versions - the later one is shown at the bottom of the picture.

Wooden cargo

Most of the wooden cargo is missing when acquiring Biller coaches nowadays. But these may easily be replaced using cheap wooden sticks as available in Hobby Shops or similar. 

For the 505 Timber wagon you may use 8 mm sticks - length 140 mm - 7 pieces adhered to a single wooden bunch. 

For the 510 Log lorry you may use 14 mm sticks - length 110 mm - 6 single sticks for each coach.
