Brilliant info as always! Note the info plate says 21VB, assuming VB is fully fitted or is this one of the 100 that were blow through?

Thanks I found the details now it was part of diagram one/149 lot 3120 a thousand off bill at Sheldon in 1958 so it's odd that it should have the k prefix as you observe

Hi there I have one of these wagons by mainline I think it is brown it's number is B 4 2 9 8 1 6K however looking through my book it would appear these numbers never went higher than 429799 can anyone help

Hi Nik, no, once I saw double the safe value I intervened.

Less so apparently but I guess that's because of the longer gaps between pulses. Not good for these modern motors however

That's perfect thanks

Here is a video of them running

Brilliant info guys thanks. These are being run under DC, but I guess bemf can still be a thing. Is there any cure for it, can't use flyback diodes due to needing to go in both directions

Hi guys. Yes confirmed DC and not my layout it's a freinds with straight track.

Has anyone yet identified the difference between the Vector and Crawler by Morley? They are the same price now but still say there are additional components. I wonder if they just reduced the smoothing capacitors as per my findings? Love to know?

Livery and wagon, thanks

Hi guys, what was the latest these would be seen about the network

Guys I've got an odd issue with my 45. When I run it from PWM controller (any type) all the lights come on together, red/white and cab lights. Loco runs lovely but all the lights come on. On normal DC normal function is restored. Is this flyback from the motor? if so it must be very efficient, is it coreless? Thanks

What you have done is very clever and I like how it looks, however the rear of the speaker should not be sealed. The sound from the rear of speakers is important. In hifi speakers it is both passed through baffles and ported to produce base. Constraining the cone also stops it moving properly. If you are happy with how it sounds that great but as an ex speaker producing company employee it's best to leave the back open.

Hi Got a CEP and BEP and even a pair of EPBs that run well on their own, they run at close to the same rate also. But when coupled together there is an odd surging effect when they slow down then speed up again. Not layout specific nor controller, anyone know what the issue is please?
