About Me

My photo
When i left school back then i was lucky enough to enroll on an engineering apprenticeship. I think this lead me in good stead. I was always one of those children that pulled things apart but actually put them back together again. My first engine given to me at the age of Seven, a Triang Princess Elizabeth. The rest as they say is History. Later in life i got back in to Model Railways and started building Pine Road. This could lead anywhere so i hope you enjoy my Blog.

Lswr Terrier chassis running

I was testing the chassis today for my Lswr Terrier. It runs well, i have adjusted the picks ups since the first video was made.
If i have time, the body will go on tomorrow.
Bearing in mind this is just the chassis and no weight added, i think this runs well.

I have just uploaded another video with the coupling rods soldered and pick ups adjusted.
Basically, i am pleased, i often wondered if compensation was really necessary, Have you laid your track badly? anything to guarantee electrical continuity has to be a good thing, Yes! personal preference i think. With me, its one of those situations where, 'because you can'.
Would i do it again? umm, probably yes.
It does run very smoothly and this is without any running in etc.
