Does anybody have this Berkshire part?

My 736 siderod became unscrewed somehow when operating a few months ago while I was running it, and I lost the “Eccentric crank sleave, part #726-39”, and rescrewed it without it. Now, while operating, it will become unscrewed and cause a dearailment.

Does anybody have this spare part? I couldn’t find it on Train Repair Parts or Train Doctor.

Grayson, I don’t have the part, but several parts/repair folks advertise in CTT and either one of them, or Lionel should have the part. I suggest getting a tube of Blue Loctite. Make sure it is the Blue kind as this will allow for the screws to be removed with just some good effort. If you were to use Red Loctite, you’ld have to heat the screw to break the seal. The way you use it, is to put a small amount on the threads of the screw and then screw in until hand tight. Let it set for a little while and you should be set.

Olsen’s lists it for 75cents

Thanks Dennis, that sounds like an interesting fix. I think I’ll go ahead and order it from Olsen’s, but I will write that down and keep it for future reference.

Thanks, Dave.
