Hi All, My Oxford Rail Janus 0-6-0 is not running well. It needs push/gentle touch multiple times. Although the attached video is intended for Hattons, but it will explain my problem. Hattons asked me to adjust the pickups. But even after that also the loco is not running properly. Can anyone here help me with what to do? One thing I would like to mention that this is the replacement unit I got from Hattons as the first one was having same issue. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1hOrHaw1WNI8lwhKKaeYbTN1du0PcjvRs/view?usp=sharing

Hello All, Did any one of you tried to replaced these wires (marked in blue) from loco to tender. How to remove the part in Red colour of the loco so that we can have access to these wires? I wanted to replace these with stronger wires. Image bowered from this group only)

Sir, There are couple of, but they do not offer repair

Hi SR Man, I purchased it from Hornby. And yes they mentioned that I need to wait till Dec 2020.

I am from India. I purchased the Hornby R3810 in Feb and received it in July end. I was away from my residence because of Covid 19. I was able to unbox the Rocket & test the same in Sept 6 th. When I opened the box, everything was looking good. But when I gently removed the loco and tender with my 2 fingers pushing it from behind 2 slots, I found that one wire from Loco to tender was broken. Some how I resoldered it, but even after that Loco did not run. I checked the connectivity with the multi meter and then suspected that there must be connectivity issue. I sent mail to customer care Hornby and informed them about the issue. I am waiting for reply from them. Let us see, what happens. It costs huge amount of money to import trains to India because currency difference is huge, also shipping is huge, and we need to pay 42 % of customs charges. Now question in form of me is even Hornby is ready to repair it , who will bare the both way shipping and how can I convince India customs that this is not new purchase so that it will not attract customs charges. I am really disappointed and worried now !! Just shared my thoughts and experience.
