Got a Arnold Rivarossi GG1 from a while ago the number on the box says 5132 if that helps anyone and i know the pantographs should go down as they are currently up and i want them down. The reason being that I have a tunnel and the pantographs make the engine just a bit to tall. Granted I could just take the Tunnel off but its a pain to do so i am hoping soemone knows how to put them down flat as my other Arnold Rivarossi I have has a way for them to be down. Any help is apriciated.
Not sure about yours, but my panotograph, on a Trix GG1, will lock down by tilting the transverse bar at the most depressed/folded point.
If you need just 3-8 mm of height reduction, maybe you could fashion a single strand wire clamp to keep yours squat a bit? I believe they all stand too tall anyway if not compressed by a catenary, so if you can figure out how to make yours squat a bit, semi-permanently, it will also look more realistic.
All the older ones, they just pressed down, and there was a clip that held it down, then you pressed down to release the clip and the went up.
