Thanks Thanks for the answers guys, so this morning I bit the bullet and stripped down the gear box thingy ( difficult on something I can bearly see in the first place) and there's the answer. The gear below the red one has a few teeth missing (like its owner) and so I need a new one. Has anybody got one in there spares box I can scrounge purchase. Failing that where do I get one from, I can see its part No 48 on Pauls attached parts list.

I;ve done a little work on this loco but as yet not seem to have cured the problem. The offending bogie has been removed from the loco and the wires unsoldered, now when I hold the wheels I can turn the prop shaft housing. I can see something going round in the top of the upright tower, so it must be between the top of the tower and the gears on the wheels, not sure how to get this to bits, think I need to remove the bogie outer frame first, has anybody got experience of this.

Well thanks for the hints and tips lads, So here is me GE4/4I, Ive just detailed one end atm, think I may leave it this way and use the other end for haulage, therefore not risking tangeling any pipes up. So Ive painted the brake hose's where they come out the body, and the jumper cable plugs as a photo I found on tinternet, also added some sun blinds on the front windows. I used PVA glue as Paul suggested mainly as I had some to hand, this has left a small blob on the top jumper plug, as the camera has picked out with the flash, but cannot be seen otherwise

Thanks for the info Dutch Master and Salmotrutta and the tips. yes if you could let me know the colour match for the red would be helpful, having studied me photo of 648 at St Moritz, taken 1st June 2016. The loco had a very strong smell of paint, so must have just been outshopped that day

Hi all Just after a bit of advice, I have a Bemo GE4/4III which is struggling to drive on one of its bogies (the other one is fine) Ive took the lid off and both prop shafts are turning fine so the area must be between the upper gear box (on top of the bogie) and the wheel sets. Its more noticeable at slower speeds. I think it may be driving at a higher speed. Ill try and attach a couple of photo's Is there any common faults I need to be awear of , the drive gears that drive the gears on the axel appear to look ok. How do I get it apart to check things out and can I get spares if need be. Any advice is much appreciated Cheers Steve............

Thanks for the advice Paul, I'll have a go at me GE4/4I and see how it goes, never thought of using PVA though Cheers Steve...........

Hi all I'm after advice on adding the detailing packs to my small collection of Bemo Rhb locos and stock. What type of glue, can parts be glued from the inside (if the holes run through the bodywork, like hand rails) how do you put a small amount of glue in the correct area without making a mess of it. How do you handle and manuover small parts into position or even pick them up without loosing them.(how do you see them in the first place) Sorry to ask such basic questions but I would like to add the detailing packs without making a mess of a fairly expensive loco or two. I have a GE 4/4I and a GE 4/4III to do. I did add some brake shoes to a well wagon last week, they were fiddley, lost count how many times I dropped them, and the holes were very tight in the bogie frames, ended up drilling the holes to a slightly bigger size. PS I'm used to modelling G scale so everything is on a much larger scale Thank for any advice Steve.............
