Well bought Scott.
Do you have the riders?
Do you have the top flags?

Thanks Charlie.
I have some spare parts from other "expendable" accessories...
plotting and planning how best to do all this...

Well, finally decided to source some parts from this 729/2
Karusell. I needed the big driving wheel and the toothed gear.
Fortunately the distance from the big wheel gear to the toothed
gear were identical on the smaller 729/2 and the big 729/5.
Right at 5mm apart.
Next, JB Weld on the wheel and gear.

Has to be a tough decision to make... will you try to copy the
parts and bring the smaller one back someday?

In my dreams ;)
Never say never, but I doubt I'll part with this one.
I'll certainly be on the lookout for replacement parts. I could
probably make the flat gear... not so sure about the pot metal
driving wheel. A bunch of the Doll accessories have these two
parts.

Have you thought about looking into 3D printing for that one?

Good Luck with the restoration. Antico Mondo had a reserve of
2500 Euro on the same complete model in 2018, and it did not
sell, six month later the Pook sells similar for 18K, crazy
world
