Last night was one step forward and one step back.

 

The good news is that electrically the chassis works on its own and when attached to the loco, no shorts on the bodywork.

 

The bad news is the axle, or rather the gears. The plastic gear which is a pushfit on to the axle slips. I have tried drilling a hole to the axle and filling it with Superglue and epoxy. Neither held.

Would it be possible to drill though the gear coller and axle, say .7mm, and glue a piece of rod in the hole to lock the gear and axle together?

Thanks for the replies, I may try and refit the gears and axles once I have degreased them and the bearings. My drills will not touch Romford axles.

You need to file a small flat at the spot you are going to drill. Don't forget to centre punch before drilling. A piece of tape, to stop th drill bit wondering off, has also worked in some cases.
