Hi Bill. Really enjoying your In the Shed series. Who amongst us doesn't have a soft spot for the Jinty? I guess the mechanism in the DMU is the same as in the Triang Pullman? Excellent advice regarding the problems bogies can cause. The A4 looked fabulous on your layout.
7 out of 8 locomotives is excellent in my book and don't forget 1 passenger car looking presentable. The Hornby Hogwarts Castle locomotive needs a redesign like you said and replace the traction tire wheels with solid or gap the center drive wheels (14 or less), so they let the outer drive wheels touch the inside rail of the radius. I know you know all this, but I have to type it because I'm an old long-winded fart, lol. Great video plus repairs and I really enjoyed your content. Jersey Bill
Another great insight. Thanks Bill. Was so nice to see the silver fox; just had mine running around pulling a good rake of coaches, little twitchy to begin with but after a little fresh oil and run it was happy running away. Good luck with the Hogwats, that model was never the best, have two. The DCC version doesn’t run smoothly forward with DC… so good to see the glimpses of the layout as those engines charge around. Many thanks again and all the best, Marc from Leighton Buzzard
Thanks Bill, some great little tips. I am now going to look at increasing the depth of the middle axle recess on one of my steam locos that finds a high point on two turnouts on my layout and pauses, touch one end of the loco and off she goes. Cheers Peter from downunder
Just a quick question, Bill. What do you use to grind the flanges with. I see that you mount the wheels in a Dremel, but what do you use to grind them? A file seems as if it would be too rough.
Honestly, I would love it if you provided a service of selling ground down flanges for old Tri-ang models. It's an absolute pain trying to get a hold of finescale ones for my Dock Shunter
Well done Bill. A very nice video. I'm in the process of starting a new layout. Any tips on baseboard..... 11mm / 15mm cork or any other stuff you can suggest. Catch you later 😊

Bill, a quick googling suggests that it might be a duff motor in the Hogwash Castle.

Yeah, silver grey A4s look fabulous
Well done Bill, some more classics saved
You do some amazing work Bill.
Who's been a bissy boy then, some very interesting old models, well done, Bill
I remember the Dock Shunter a friend of mine had, it was the fastest loco I have ever seen!

When we used to sneak round all the diesel depots we always said we were 'on shed'. . Usually in a northern accent 😮

good vid bill, why traction tyres on middle drivers? it would run better if it was tender driven.
