    Maybe some silica gel pack in the starage boxes might help with the damper conditions if thats whats causing the issue. Maybe it`s me I`d love a few knacked motors to get inside and see whats what with then.

      Hi CLive, yes I would love to get into the Backmann motor to see what's up with it. Interestingly I have got its case loose so I can move the bits side to side but not off because the weights stop me from doing so and I just can't get them off completely and its affecting the sound I can get it running quietly. So it's not the bearing after all but what? that's the question. Thanks for watching Cheers Peter....

    Hello Peter it's me from the loft. Yes your right about decoders when consisting. Matching them works very well but when using Zimo and Lok sound they don't match. To change the cv's is fine but takes time but then after if you want to consist 2 Zimo or 2 Loksounds you got go back and change all the CV's again if you can remember there settings or it's back to CV 8. Great video's. All the best mate. Mick.

I have some engines that run well together and they happen to be the same make of model so that's good but no way would these two run and at the end of the day I have not ruined the model looks and works well together and when I feel the need I can always put the bits back and it will be fine Thanks for watching, looking forward to your next video All the best Peter

    Hi Peter, I hope all is well with you and the family, great video catch up and running session, you never got back to me about your Plasser Tamper machine and where you acquired it, have you seen the pictures of the Hornby DP1 yet? It’s a cast model with very good detailing, it has a few fans that work independently from each other, it’s very expensive and will probably sell well, there are those who say if Accurascale produced it it wouldn’t be very good! That is a very unfair in my opinion because Accurascale have always sorted out the issues I had with my purchases that weren’t up to scratch, the last issue I had I sorted myself because I wanted to know all about my locomotive and how it was constructed and how it works, it’s all good now and running very well, that Hornby DP1 looks amazing but I can’t justify buying such an expensive model from a company that abandon’s customers all over the world and that’s a fact, for all those who purchase the model I wish them luck and I hope they get their monies worth instead of a nightmare, thanks for sharing.

    Hi Peter, you don't seem to have much luck with motors do you. Do you think storing your locos in the shed might be a possible cause for your motor noise, getting damp in the mechanisms and all. Might be worth storing the ones you don't use much in the house...............although you said some have been stored in the shed much longer than this 66 with no detrimental effect. Anyway nice to see your layout again...............All the very best and thanks, Dave.

    Hello. Not come across your channel before. The blue first Bachmann is a great looking loco. If it's still making that noise after you've stripped it down and serviced it, then it probably needs a new motor. Luckily, as it's a Bachmann, you'll be able to get a replacement pretty easily and cheaply, and judging by what you're saying, you have the skills to replace it yourself. I'm kicking myself on missing out on the Accurascale Evening Star, and as you say, the second hand examples on eBay are silly money. Oh well... Yours looks and runs superbly. I particularly like the "9F" printed under the cab windows, which is a nice tribute/nod to the original steam loco.

      Hi Al, for my sins yes. They are on a foam base and I cover them over when not in use so they don't get dusty etc and some are in those storage boxes with the foam inserts. During the cold spell I don't run the trains. If this is down to cold storage it's the first time in the 5 years in the shed and I have locos that are older than this that have been on the layout and not stored that are running OK. Will have to see how it goes. Cheers Peter

      @@StMaryChurchModelRailway Hi Stuart, the problem was running under sound. Both are totally different setup on how they power up to pull away with the Bachmann being much slower on the uptake. I had them running around to see how it could work. The acceleration was different and when it got up to speed step 10 (of 25) I had to run the Bachmann at speed step 8. So I was not going down the route of changing CVs. TBH I have the Accurascale Colas on order and when that comes will convert the Bachmann back to solo running and see how two Accurasale 37 work as a consist . Cheers Peter

      Thanks Dave, yes I have swapped a 66 in the past with no problems, you can always give them a ring to check. The cats name is 'Ash' I have three cats, you saw 'Snarf' in the last vid, you have yet to see the black and white one 'Felix' :) All the best mate Peter

    Gorgeous couple of 37s there Peter. In fact every single thing that rolls on the lines is superb 👍 brilliant as always how easy is it to remove the drive gear? Full strip down? Cheers, DOD

      Thanks Dave, very easy, drop out the bogie towers, remove the drive shaft, the worm gear assembly on top of the gear towers. Leave the other gears in place and you will find you will have a freewheeling bogie. Keep the bits safe as its simple to revert back if needed Cheers Peter

    Nice one Peter, another excellent video. I remain impressed that you manage to get all this spending past SWMBO, even allowing for the economical purchase of the body shell! Great work sir.

      Hi Richard, even before I played around with my own type of custom couplings I never had any problems using West Hill Wagon work Elite couplings on any of my Bachmann locos. Cheers Peter

      Hi Ron yes well spotted, I never noticed till I ran the loco and found the two of them running. So it made my mind up for me as to which DRS 37 from the 3 Bachmann's got the body swap :) Cat is called 'Ash' :) Cheers Peter
