RMweb Premium Davexoc Posted March 9, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 9, 2021 Is it an early one with 'pizza cutter' wheels? If so, swap the wheels for the later ones. DCC Supplies are the Dapol spares people these days. I did that with mine, as I could sometimes see the arcing as it ran through pointwork. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rogerdee Posted March 9, 2021 Author Share Posted March 9, 2021 It's a couple of years old DCC ready. It's been ok till a couple of weeks ago then it started doing this!!!. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodenhead Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 My Dapol rolling stock used to love sparking on points in DC - the back to backs were awful so I invested in a back to back tool from DCC Concepts. It improved the running and stopped trains shorting over the points - but then one day one wheel on one coach did simply disintegrate whilst the train was running so it clearly did not like being forced to a new back to back. That said it was several years later it did that. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
