Can anyone help, I have followed Brian Lambert text ( I think) to fit a decoder to the above loco 43072 but I am unable to have any success, it ran perfectly on dc. I am attaching 2 photos of my effort, any advice would be appreciated.

Looking at your pictures I think you got the power bogie facing the wrong direction

Have you removed the bower bogie from its side frame & replaced it in the wrong direction ?

Here is a couple of pics to help show the correct orientation of the bogies

This drawing shows which side the gears are on

Looking forwards the gears on the power bogie are on the left side whereas on yours the gears look to be on the RH side
