      Most of my class 76s run on Lima motors, minimal maintenance required go for ever, some must be getting on for 100 miles by now, then there's 3 days at Quorn GCR to look forward to!

      I was told back in the 1980s that Lima models for the European market (excepting GB)did not use the pancake motor but something else better engineered. I never did find anyone who could verify that. There was that beauty of a pancake motor that Fleischmann fitted - wow!

      I think that it's a good thread because it shows how modellers will rally round when things go sour.
