    A search on Flickr for "Halwill", shows W55000 at Hole 13/02/65 and W55000 at Hatherleigh 06/02/65. Both shots by Roger Joanes.

    Looking back at my notes, D3568 was the Skipton pilot and it went to Holbeck for fuel. It made the trip on 01/03/74 and then again on 10/04/74 . So about six weeks. I can't imagine that it worked more than a couple of hours a day at Skipton.

    Got one on my workbench. Length is 155mm. Height from platform to truss girders is 45mm.

    Peco Y point nearest camera, then set track.

    I just tried it with a class 20. Same result. If you are using scale couplings then the only way I have been able to negotiate it is to uncouple and then propel. I do have some mineral wagons fitted with Kadee couplers and they work fine, but of course the buffers are not touching at all and that may not be acceptable?

    I have just tried my Heljan class 40 over a set. The locomotive makes it ok, but if you have anything coupled to the loco, then that buffer locks and derails every time.

    Looks similar to Molex.

    Just an observation. I just wired a tortoise on the work bench to a pair of AA batteries in series (3V) and it drove across ok. Not very quickly but 3V is enough.

    And you are using a DC power supply?

    So, you have 3 wires then? One from each transformer and a third from where the two transformers are connected together (a centre-tap) ? And you are connecting one wire from the centre-tap to say terminal 1 and one of the other wires to terminal 8?

    Well just fitted mine with a loksound decoder. Jerky at low speed and poor top speed. I disabled the bemf settings on the lok programmer as advised earlier on this list. Now runs beautifully.

    Click on the "About Wizard Models" tag and near the bottom is a link to 51L website. That might get you a bit further!

    There is a picture of 26041 as you describe on the front cover of "Seventies spotting days on the Scottish region" by Strathwood.
