RMweb Gold 46444 Posted May 8, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 8, 2020 Love the Sentinel by the way Rob. Looks suitably at home. They do need a bit of lubrication then and again. I tend to use Vaseline. Loosens things up nicely. Applied with a cocktail stick. Cheers, Mark 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great stuff. I've still to fit my Peckett plates and nameplates to my pair. I placed an order about the same time for some other bits from NP.

RMweb Gold Popular Post NHY 581 Posted May 9, 2020 Author RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted May 9, 2020 Morning all. It would appear that local artist Sheldon Fopp has accompanied Norman on his visit to Sheep Dip.. He produces this sketch of our resident Peckett at rest. Mr Fopp has called this image " The Little Servant " Rob. 21 2 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you taking these photos outdoors? The lighting is very natural. Evening Ramblers. The recent photos of the Peckett etc were taken outside. That's the beauty of a layout like Sheep Dip. It can be picked up and moved around. This evening saw Norman pop into Bleat Wharf where he snapped an image of pannier 7717 as the little chap dozed in the evening sun. Pleased with his 'capture' he retired for a swift cuppa at the Eagle caff before a leisurely drive home in Murray. A Pannier. 25 14 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It had a distinct nod to it as it moved about the place, as if something was oval or out of line, but not so much to return it. So I had a poke and prod about this evening I'm grateful to Mark (46444) who was kind enough to send me some photos which assisted greatly in dismantling the little chap. On investigation, I found that the gears and worm were coated in a thick white grease which had gone hard in the teeth which couldn't have helped. It's now much better. Much smoother and quieter so I hope I have resolved it. Rob. Edited May 12, 2020 by NHY 581 Sausage hooves 16 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much smoother and quieter so I hope I have resolved it. Rob. I strip, clean, and relube to my specifications any loco (though I recommend it for women as well) that comes into my possession as a matter of course, and have never made the running worse. The grease is put on in the assembly plant in China for shipping fire regulation and insurance reasons, and is a PITA but most will run for cover when attacked with a rattlecan switch cleaner, from the bloke upstairs in the Market now we've lost Maplins. The grease will eventually solidify and perform the opposite function to that for which it is intended, but not in any way that can be predicted. Recent developments at Cwmdimbath have opened the possibility of a colliery loco, and a Sentinel is suitable; there was a real one at Blaengarw in a very similar light blue livery to one that is available RTR, but investigations are very much at the fag packet stage for now. 3 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
