Im getting a clicking noise from the wheels or gears of my bachman 9f. It doesn't appear to be rhythmic so could this be a gear chain issue. The wheels themselfs are a brand new set that i recently received from the bachman spares dept. Has anyone had this before or does anyone have any ideas what could be causing this? Here's a link to a video of yhe offend8ng loco. Ive stripped it right back and removed the cylinders and con rod setup. https://youtu.be/AE1ircRAT4A

Jerky slow speed running from my Hornby railroad tts class 40 under dcc. However its like this with all my railroad models. I have a class 55 fitted with an esu sound chip and that runs the same. So it can't be the decoders (can it?) Has anyone else had this and managed to sort it out. Im running an nce powercab and the loco was running as speed step 10 of 126. The video link below should show you what i mean. https://youtu.be/vnZiJYaMFjg

Im repainting a br blue class 40 into br green. The green im using is phoenix precision post 1954 br green but what im wanting to know is what colours should i use for the roof and more importantly the stripe that runs the length of the body.
