atom3624 Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 Yippee!! Be very careful of any adjustments, you'll probably know, but it's obvious anyway - those screws are tiny and fragile. I have found with the Hornby plastic-centred wheels that I can 'gently force' the spigot (??) to the angle I require - very slight change required only. I tried it once with a Bachmann Jubilee, before I realised the wheel was all metal - one replacement wheel set later .... my fault!! B.R. 60700 W1 has been a recent addition for me, early logo. The Walschaerts return crank is perfectly centred!! No valve movement at all!! The way out I found, as the crank was so 'elbows out' was to partially flatten it, to ensure it's enough 'off centre' and hey presto, the valvegear's moving. I'm leaving alone now!

Robin Brasher Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 Does anyone remember the opening sequence of the Six Five Special Steaming Down the Line on BBC1 on 16 February 1956? The opening sequence was 'Coronation' heading off on an express train. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColinB Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 Anyone got a link to the Comet speedo? It sounds like a decent fix to those Hornby locos of mine where they snap. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The streamlined Coronation was followed by a short glimpse of an unrebuilt Patriot or Royal Scot and an A1 or A2 on the Forth Bridge. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pH Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 I thought I remembered the introduction featuring an A3 crossing the pointwork at the east end of Newcastle Central. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steamport Southport Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 If that's regurgitated footage from Night Mail then the second engine is 6115 Scots Guardsman. Jason Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
