Adding weight to driving wheels on "modern" Hornby Pacifics (tender Decoder A1,A4, W1)


Recommended Posts

Hi Everyone,

 

I'm looking to add so weight to my locomotives to improve track adhesion, now I know this needs to be in the area over (or below) the driving wheels. Does anyone have any experience/advice of doing this please? Or product recommendations?

 

These loco's are just the start as I would like to get all my stock able to pull longer trains but these are the larger locos and as such i'm hoping the easier ones to "mess with".

The weight doesnt have to be directly over the driving wheels.

If you split the weight 50/50 and have some fore and some aft it has the same effect, as the bogie/pony/cartazzi wheels don't take any of the load.
