a couple of loose grab irons or underbody bits, there is a very good chance that you can
effect a repair in less time and effort than it would take to contact us. Don’t be afraid to
do some model railroading! White glue, such as Weldbond, works wonders for securing
all sorts of parts and will not mar or damage your paint. However, if parts are missing
that is another story – call us or send us an email and we’ll send you some replacements.
Of course, damage caused by running your GMD-1 at full speed around a 15”-radius
curve along the edge of your layout, modifying your GMD-1 to work off diesel fuel, not
modifying your GMD-1 to work off diesel fuel but still filling it with diesel fuel, strapping
your GMD-1 to a rocket for an entertaining YouTube video, or any other damage caused
by you that we haven’t been able to cover here is not covered by the warranty. However,
if catastrophe does strike and your locomotive gets damaged, please give us a shout
and we’ll do our best to help you out.
Yes, even if it was your fault we will try
our best to fix your locomotive for you. Don’t be shy!
