    Hi Phil Mc, thanks for photo layout, I'm doing much the same thing as you per your discription except I had to change my wheel sets out for bachmanns due to derailments so no live axles and using wipers to the rectifier then capacitor then to the battery holders, I'm not sure what size resistor to use though, any suggestion welcome, and would this be in my configuration on the positive feed?

    hi StephenNicholson, I was looking at the reed switch too but with my limited knowledge could'nt see how to achieve the wanted outcome of using the latching method for on/off working, how about a discription or tutorial, I'm sure I'm not the only one who would benefit......

    thanks for that johnster, hav'nt tried running the motor without bogies I never thouhgt of that one so i'll do that before stripping the ringfield right down as all i've done so far is new carbons and a lube job which helped....

    has anyone tried to add pickups to these bogies that have one side isolated by tyres? the model in question is the old style Hornby class 56 re numbered and named was a really bad runner but not so bad now but does tend to stall where no others do and also just bursts into life when powered up instead of a slow pull away and thought extra p.u's would help.....

    being fairly new at this game and not able to get around much i'm trying to find out the size of the RAIL OPERATIONS GROUP plate that is carried by their loco's, does anyone know or can anyone advise me. I can only work from photos and the thickness is difficult to judge and then scale down to 4mm. ROG never seem to answer emails.
