Hello, I recently received my apple green V2 (Number 4791) With DCC sound from Kernow. I have been having issues with the model running at slow crawling speeds and at yard operating speeds, where it jerks and stops before continuing on. The mechanism seemed to be fine with no tight spots or anything jamming. I then carefully removed the motor to let it run so I could see the worm drive move under power, and it looked and sounded like the motor was catching something inside the motor itself, on almost every rotation. Fiddling with the BAC EMF did help alleviate the problem a bit, but didn't get rid of it entirely. I have emailed Kernow about the problem and asked about getting a replacement motor if that is the problem. Has anyone else had similar motor or BAC EMF issues like this?

I used the number 17 kadees, although even these are too long. However they are sufficient and don't leave an unreasonable gap between loco and rolling stock. I might look into a closer coupling option in the future, but for now, this works well.

Starting off the new year with a new model added to my fleet. Pictured below is my model of D604 Cossack. Soon to have Details added and weathering applied to it and ultimately, sound. Currently I just have a standard 21 pin decoder installed so I can run it in the meantime until I fit sound.
