Sir TophamHatt Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 I have a loco that's over 30 years old. It looks a little like this:It's pretty good at slipping on the rails. The wheels aren't oily or greasy, and it's not particularly light. I know my grandfather used to put a couple of elastic bands round the wheels, which helped it grip, but is there anything else I can look at?I haven't opened it yet to see what's inside.

edcayton Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 Did it originally have traction tyres? At 30 years I would expect these to have perished, Replacing them would effectively do what Granddad did. What make is the loco? Ed Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
