Dear all, I lost a little spring from pantograph artnr 265370. It is not produced anymore at Marklin. it is from a miniclub train 8853 model. Can I use another little spring from other model ? With kind regards, Jo Vehent, Belgium.

All the Z pantograph springs seem to be the same : part no 765740-E.
They are incredibly small and easily lost.
I bought some from the USA last year - not cheap. Meanwhile buying scrap locos provided cheap replacement pantographs for damaged ones. Always worth buying non-runners for spares (if cheap!).
As with coupling springs I attach one end first, apply a tiny dab of superglue then when dry hook over the other side. This avoids them pinging off and getting lost.
