This evening saw the completion of the little Roxey Mouldings 0-4-0 Planet diesel. Brewhouse Quay has been put away for a few days while I prepare Combwich for this weekend's RAILEX, so makes as ideal background to pose the little beast on. The wagon in tow is an ex-LBSCR wagon from a Smallbrook Studios kit knocked up a couple of weekends ago.

 

Here is a more close up view of the little loco

Thanks! I've now got Combwich all working and it's a little happier under feedback control and after a good blast about.

I should perhaps of mentioned this before - a good way of getting a sweeter running Spud is to strip the thing down, leaving the motor in place but removing the axles. The motor can be lubricated (they seem a little dry as supplied) and run in as you would a new loco but with the axles still removed but with no load on the motor.

 

Paul.
