Frequently Asked Questions - 120161 Piko

How to get a missing part?

Locate the missing part on the instructions, check it, and send the instructions to Gelbr. FALLER GmbH at the indicated address. You will receive the part by return.

What glue to use to assemble the model?

Use a special liquid glue for plastic, preferably the one provided in the kit or a glue like Revell Contacta or Tamiya Extra Thin.

Do I need to paint the model?

Painting is not mandatory but recommended for a realistic result. Use acrylic paints for models and apply a primer first.

How to attach the roof without gluing the entire surface?

Glue only the ridge edge on parts 13/1 and 13/2. Let dry for about 20 minutes before gluing the pre-assembled position R parts.

What to do if a part does not fit?

Check that the sprues are properly detached and that injection burrs are removed using side cutters or a fine file.

Can I use cyanoacrylate glue?

Cyanoacrylate glue can be used but it dries very quickly. For beginners, liquid plastic glue is easier to apply and allows repositioning.

How long does it take to assemble the model?

Assembly time varies depending on experience, but allow about 3 to 5 hours for basic assembly, plus drying time for glue and paint.

Can I access the interior after assembly?

Yes, the roof is designed to be removable if you only glue the ridge edge. This allows access to the interior of the locomotive shed.

Are there any unused parts in the box?

It is possible that some parts are not used in the final assembly. Check the instructions to see which ones are optional.

How to clean the parts before gluing?

Wash the parts in warm soapy water to remove mold release residues, then dry them thoroughly before gluing.

Achtung!

For installation of the tracks in the engine house, and then can be later controlled for running operation, there is no need to glue the roof down. Therefor only glue the pieces 13/1 and 13/2 on the gable together. And on top the pieces, already glued on (pos. R). Allow to try for approx. 20 minutes.

Attention!

Beim Abnehmen des Daches zuerst die obere Hälfte des Turmes abheben, danach das Dach vom Hauptgebäude. When removing the roof, lift up the upper part of the tower and lift of the roof grom the main building. Lors du demontage du toit, ôter d'abord la partie haute de la tour, puis seulement le toit du bâtiment principal. Bij het afnemen van het dak eerst de bovenste helft van de toren afnemen en daarna het dak van het hoofdgebouw.
