The mikado's whole running gear can be dropped out with just 3 screws. The front most screw under the pilot and 2 screws towards the strap where the motor pivots. It allows the whole chassis to drop out with a few plugs for servicing the locomotive. Also, pulling heavy loads like this will surely strip another wheel set. Maybe take it apart/clean/ and service the locomotive more often if you plan to pull heavy loads like that.

It’s sad watching the trains crash but it makes good content

My 4-6-0 bachmann large scale wonderland flyer uses hex screws for the running gear

It pulled its self out of service 😂literally

I have one of these LGB Mikados and this is my worst nightmare. Please do share the reassembly!

Now you gotta put it back together as you pulled it apart

Yup LGB is gold, rest good to destroy. Love my LGB. Converted all mine DCC with battery same as yours. Used 14v li-ion.

how do you destroy so many are they like dummy engines or something

Where do you order parts now days?

Wow

you destroy the trains you have or they are the same blows

oof

It's a toy. It's just a little toy train. Why act like it's anything other than a kids toy...
