We could in fact have heard it from our garden because it was common with the wind in the right direction to hear EE Type 3s (Class 37s for younger readers) passing the station. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem is it’s easy to get them rotating, as in the Hornby 31......but they rotate so fast you cannot see them anyway, they need to rotate very slowly, as if they are just ticking over and cooling down.......managed to do that on all my Heljan 7mm diesels but it took some doing.

Rotating so quickly that all you can see is a blur – is that not the point? Servo motors linked to the sound would be, I think, very desirable. Very difficult to do, I think. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know and appreciate what you're saying, particularly with a '100mph' (rumoured to achieve anything up to an indicated 120mph according to one contributor on here) Deltic. The Hornby 'fan-spinners' are such quality, you can see them rotating slowly as they crawl so well as well - just love little gimmicks like that - opening doors as well!

Until they cause poor running, almost all of the fan mechanisms put stress on the motors and inhibit good running. 1 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard this, but have never encountered it. I've run all of my 'fan locos' perhaps a total of 100+ hours without problem. All I do is add a dab of oil in the bushings like you would in the drivetrain. Not saying you haven't encountered this problem, as I've read it a lot - just never had a problem. Al.
