Thanks for all the advice. In the end it was the quartering as the wheel wasnt sitting flush to the axle. Secondly the coupling rod had a very small distortion which is now corrected. So all good now. Thanks, saveric

It seems inline. I find it works fine in both directions if i loosen the nuts that tie the siderods on to the crank pins.

Thanks for the reply. The motion is locking. It works fine as an 0-4-0 in both directions, but when the coupling rods that connect the rear wheel to the Flycrank are added then it binds up in reverse. Ive checked the crank pins and they seem square. I was wondering if they might be a problem with the flycrank? But what it might be isnt clear to me. saveric

Dear All, i am currently building one of Jim Mcgeown O gauge kits (the drewry loco) and i have managed to get the chassis to roll forwards very smoothly when i push it along, but when i try the same in reverse the motions seize up. Any ideas what it might be please? best wishes, saveric

Dear All, has anyone had any dealings with this firm. I placed an order in july 2019 and part of it arrived quickly but the remainder has not. They dont appear to respond to emails and the phone goes unanswered. I think they have a shop in Cookham. Have they closed? best wishes, Richard
