My J83 seems to waddle about when it runs, I have had it a while and I like it, stay safe :)

[@Markintheshed]

There are many reasons why a model has a waddle, the most common cause is simply old age, if you don't mind about it the best thing to do is try and run slower, at slow speeds a waddle doesn't show up so much. if you would like to try and cure the waddle you could search the YT archive for a how to video, or if you wish you could send me an email using the email address in my about section on my channel and I'll try and guide you through some fixes for the problem, Stay Safe.

Thanks Bro, these were a mixed traffic engine, I think the older ones are better than the modern version of the model, all is well here, take care ans Stay Safe. Mark

@@Markintheshed It is just a start but I have had a few encouraging comments. My biggest problem is the layout has to be portable and put away after a running session.

Looking at buy old hornby j83 is any advice for first time owner

[@martinpattison4018]

That J83 has the right to be a bit noisy as 8477 was the Locomotive accredited with having archived more than 2 million miles when in service and on retirement it has not persevered. Shame. Martin. (Thailand)
Grammarly will not let me use "was not"
