Having received my most attractive-looking 14XX from Hattons last week, I have finally got round to running it in, as per the instructions provided with the loco.
I have added lubrication to the two locations under the chassis keeper plate, and also to the coupling rod bearings, as per the instructions.
I did test it briefly yesterday, but it wasn't a particularly good slow speed runner 'straight from the box'.
I have cut out a circle of Daler board this morning, to lay my circle of Lima set track out on, so that I can put the test circuit down in a room that I can close off from feline curiosity.
I do hope that the running in process works, as initial testing on the circle of track was very disappointing, with very uneven running, at both slow and moderate speeds.
I will update this blog in due course.
