Reply To: Creative Repairs – When You Have to Improvise

[Andre Dubus]

One of my proudest “MacGyver moments” was fixing a snapped coupler using part of a paperclip and a dab of epoxy. It’s been running strong for months and nobody’s the wiser.

I’ve also shimmed a loose motor mount with a trimmed-down LEGO piece—fit like a glove.

Anyone else ever used non-train parts in a fix? Let’s hear those creative victories—and hey, maybe we’ll pick up some clever new tricks along the way.
