For those pondering about a Bruder D5 conversion..........................Here's a neat lil trick to prevent the drive sprockets from slipping. I took a Zip Tie, & made the sprocket teeth longer. I used a hand saw to cut grooves into the sprocket teeth. Then I inserted the small pieces that I had cut from the Zip Tie into them, & super glued them in place. I haven't tried it out.....YET! I will try it out another day, after the glue has a chance to thoroughly dry. I WISH I could take credit for this idea! I seen it somewhere else, & CAN'T remember where.
