mikesndbs Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 Hi here is a very short informal video of my 128 that arrived today she runs wonderful but makes this noise? to me sound like a drop of oil on the motor bearings could be needed, how easy is it to get the body off? Thanks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
34theletterbetweenB&D Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 Gear whine in my opinion (too low pitched for motor shaft). A little light oil on the worm, which will percolate down with running. Body removal is the usual pull body side bottom edge outwards off the clips to allow the mechanism to drop out. Mine was very tight indeed, needed slips of card inserting to stop the clips re-engaging as I worked round it to liberate the mechanism. (You can have my totally redundant BR blue body if you bust yours. It won't happen, the moulding material is very tough!) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many thanks on both counts, I have read that getting the body off is a pain, Seems to run lovely and if you cut power the flywheels keep her going for a bit so must all be free. When I pluck up courage I might do as you say lol Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Westernway Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 I was lucky enough to get a 128 off my lad for Christmas. What a truly fantastic model she is!!! Runs like a dream, is very well detailed and is very heavy. One of, if not the best, engine I own. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
