I opened it up and can only assume the previous lubricant was cheese. Some time later, with a drop of new lube onto the (no longer green) gears...
I recently picked up a 2nd hand N-scale Rivarossi Challenger (#1592 from 1996) but without service sheet. Pickup is a little rough and ready...
Sounds like the first thing I did when i picked up my 2nd hand big-boy :D
I picked one up via the wonders of ebay - it seems to be in mint condition (all the pads look fine etc). So the CL-Power just runs the motor...
does nobody know? I assume it's the same for the tomix and dapol models, so maybe their instruction sheets are more helpful than the atlas models!
My shiny new atlas track cleaning car arrived yesterday and a fun few minutes were spent reading the instructions! However, i have a small...
yes plastic rods, MRC means? incidentally, I love the case for it :D
wow! thanks for the lesson :) I actually meant that relative to the top speed of my similarly aged minitrix a4 it's quite slow (compared to my...
Thanks, that would be great! Cleaned off it's wheels just now, runs much smoother but still relatively slow top speed.
I recently bought a Rowa y6b on ebay - which aside from a slightly battered case seems to be in excellent working order (especially since i...
I recently acquired a Bachmann Class J (number 608, not that that is terribly important!), it doesnt run particularly well though being liable to...
This is one of the ones with black-wheels too. Much as I would have loved to get an athearn big-boy I simply cannot afford it. Still this one...
So it arrived, runs ok, possibly could do with a bit of lubrication etc but is ok as it is. It doesnt like peco set-track turnouts (the really...
I won it for 122 or so, so effectively half the price of getting a new athearn one, albeit without the DCC ready and lighting and whistles that...
The seller suggests that it is in "like new" condition and that it runs smoothly, either way the pictures show a good condition generally although...
Hi, Im looking at buying a Big Boy and know that Athearn have just brought out a new model of it which is supposed to be excellent, but am...
I was actually thinking of using the peco scissors double crossing (sl-e383f) for my layout (well 2 of them to connect 3 ovals basically - as i...
shim under the ties? - do the connectors between the pieces of track connect up ok between code 55 and code 80?
Sorry to bump an old topic, but is it possible to run code 80 track with code 55 (i'm talking peco here) eg to use code 80 set-track for the track...
Hehe, I remember being confused by the ones i used to have on my old fleischman setup at home - oh for the hornby plugs and their simplicity!
