Spares for Kato 99044 Guangzhou set

[tridentalx]

Hi all,

 

Bit of a long shot but I was wondering if anybody has the 99044 Hong Kong - Guangzhou set and more importantly the service sheet for it. I have bought one which got damaged in the post and I'd like to see how easy it might be to get spares before returning it:

 

If you do have one the part numbers I need are for :

 

Loco coupling

Loco pantograph

Coach coupling

 

If I can get a scan of the service sheet even better. Thanks in advance.

Can you show us some pics of the parts?

 

The loco looks like the same loco chassis as the Glacier Express.

Hi,

 

Yes I realised rather belatedly that taking some photos of what I did have would be far more useful !

 

Here's the coach coupling I need (which looks like a Kato 11-707 ?

 

 

Here's the pantograph which I have gently bent back into shape. There's only a small crease and one of the tiny pieces of metal is broken so I am not too worried about replacing that now.

 

 

And finally the loco coupling which I do need to replace. It doesn't appear to have been a knuckle coupler (not enough broken bits in the box) nor a Rapido coupler like the Glacier Express).

 

 

Thanks for any suggestions.

Coach coupler choice is spot on. Kato 11-707 Grey, 11-706 Black.

 

Loco coupler looks like Kato 923050.

 

Pantograph looks great. It's the metal type so you want to ask Loco1Hobby in Japan for help getting parts. David is a longtime member here.

 

There should be a number on the trucks when you remove them.

Thanks for the reply. 923050 looks like it is discontinued. 923501 short shank looks similar perhaps ?Or maybe 800001 with some trimming.

Thanks for the suggestion. I did email David at Loco1. He didn't have what I needed but did make some useful suggestions. Will be adding some types of couplers to my next order from Japan.
