I simply can’t fix one boggie to the engine. I have tried to connect with them several times in Italian on e-mail via their website contact info on http://www.acmetreni.it/en , but no success. Also, I couldn’t find any source of spare parts anywhere… I would be happy for a suggestion of a repair shop which ”knows ACME”, or maybe there is a general engine magician out there?

I’ve added them to my warning list of unscrupulous players in the model railroading hobby. I received an explanation from Lippe, who stopped selling the brand, that they had problems with warranty obligations, a real warning bell Apparently, the same behavior as the Norwegian manufacturer that customers should bow down to Which model do you need parts for?

This also applies to Swedish dealers when it comes to the Norwegian model manufacturer. It’s fun to attend "trade shows" and smile (gentlemens scratching each other's backs), but when it comes to providing even a little service with decency, it's a complete failure. So be careful where you invest in the railway hobby.
