david51 Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 I have one. It was very jerky out of the box but on examination I found that the pickups weren’t touching every wheel and lost contact on curves. After some attention and adjustments it now runs pretty well . Taking off the keeper plate is the devils own job and the chassis is very basic but it was worth doing. I am now happy with the way mine now runs 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My apologies but is this the 1361 or the O2? Rob. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Mick Bonwick Posted June 24, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 24, 2020 (edited) I see this O2 thing as a bit of a challenge. I have one that was 'got at' a few years ago and it has been in a display cabinet ever since. I now have a decoder for it and will be testing it out after the wheels have been cleaned. Where's the challenge? I shall attempt to produce a moving picture that can accompany beer and crisps, that's where. https://www.flickr.com/photos/laughinglobster/29006775295/in/dateposted/ Edited June 24, 2020 by Mick Bonwick Adding missing letters.

RMweb Gold Mick Bonwick Posted June 24, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 24, 2020 DJ Models Adams O2 under test. https://youtu.be/mrYUbvAeNCs I haven't mastered the art of smooth movement (!) yet, but at least I didn't fall off the skateboard. The locomotive runs fairly well, with only one faltering moment across a particularly troublesome point. This all takes place in the fiddle yard, so fixing that point isn't very high on the priority list - somewhere around page 256. 1 1 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's completely unacceptable about all this, is the fact that DJM could get this 0-4-4T to run as well as that, but were simply unable to replicate that level of satisfactory running with another basic loco with an 0-4-2T wheel arrangement. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My first one used to do that as it passed the frogs. ( no pigeons or sparrows). That's what concerns me. Also, I like locos to slow gradually to a halt, like the large metallic objects they represent. I know I'm fussy. 3 hours ago, Captain Kernow said: What's completely unacceptable about all this, is the fact that DJM could get this 0-4-4T to run as well as that, but were simply unable to replicate that level of satisfactory running with another basic loco with an 0-4-2T wheel arrangement. Indeed.......equally unacceptable is that despite all the feed back, Hattons continued to send them out......... Rob.
