I have two of those "D class 0-4-0s and they both have a wobble I just can't seem to correct after loads of attempts. I quite like them, for what they are, but I do think they may be the least good of the 0-4-0 starter locos. I may have been unlucky that both of mine seem cursed to wobble. I still have some things to try, but am having trouble gwetting the wheel off on one side, and I think it may be pushed on to far, so to get the back to back correct make the othe wheel to far off the axle. Hard to say for sure, but I think that might be the issue with one of them. I took the motors out and got them requartered and running smooth without the motors, so maybe there is an issue with the worm gear. I do wonder if it is not possible and to give up, given how cheaply made they are (not a criticism - I like low cost, but maybe once they are out of alignment it may be impossible to correct due to wide tolerances).

Buy most of mine this way. I like a fixer upper, but love the older diesels from table top sales, and fit DCC to them, service them etc. I will have to check out Stowmarket -I think I know where that takes place - my local sale is not far away, at Copdock, from Ipswich diecast and train collector's sales events.

Why the skibidi are some of da trains wheel slipping so much?😂

I have two Rivarossi engines from about 55 years ago One was just like this but all black and a smaller one I built a transistorized throttle for my HO and N scale stuff Braking and momentum effects, short circuit protection. What is DCC? I like HO but space is limited 😢 I still love my old Aristocraft B&O model makes Tyco and Bachman look like toys🚂

merry christmas great running trains thanks lee

Merry Christmas. Are you gonna purchase any more G Scale steamies, like Toby the Tram Engine?

I love trains and Christmas

I have that one but the ESU decoder went out so I replaced it with Tsunami Big Steam decoder

In the movie there are usually 5 coaches in most scenes, so 5 is the ideal number. BUT... The coaches in the movie are shorter, Lionel's coaches are not like the ones in the movie, they are simply long coaches painted in the Polar Express color scheme, So with 3 of those long coaches it looks just as impressive as if it had 5 short coaches.

I really need to investigate that DCC controller instead of using a step down converter. Is the HO track power supply different to the O gauge track?

Awesome

I have the legacy polar express and I have 6 cars

Great video, where did you purchase this as no company that i could find imports to the Uk, i contacted Lionel and they said unfortunately due to the licensing they are umable to sell any polar express products out of Usa and Canada.

The movie depicts 5 coaches, so i agree with the movie.

20 but probably could pull more

The box says lionchief but this is S gauge no? Something is off here.

I think you are right, 3 around the tree and 5 on the layout. I do love the look of the loco, but I hate the chuf-chuf. Thank you for sharing, love the video.

I want it so bad.

I'll be picky and say 4 coaches makes the train set complete, both round the Christmas tree and on your bigger railway. You see, when it comes to rolling stock, I don't do odd numbers. I do everything in pairs. Merry Christmas.

great vlog

To small for 00-guage🎉

Avanti West Coast is the new generation 😢

I have never been more jealous! Id love one of them, especially eith the extra coaches, but i simply dont have the money! Loving the advent calendar by the way lee :) merry christmas!

Super u make my day :)

I remember when you first put out the video on this layout. It was very inspirational for me when I build my HO layout around the base of my Christmas tree. I've done a lot of work on it and I have some thanks to send your way! Greetings from York, Maine in the US.

It's like the train of lights in paignton! Fab video 👍

All I want for Christmas is you. Say, how are you doing with the headboard I asked for? I don't mind waiting till after Christmas to get it.

Eh,more of a pepsi guy.

STEPNEYYYYYYYYYYYYY AAAAASAASAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Cool👍

Why don't you show it in your home to us more often? That church is dangerous balancing on top of the tunnel. It needs to be on level ground. The pathway is sloping downwards dangerously too. It needs to be more gentle. Don't want the passengers slipping on ice, do we? But all in all, a nice railway. It's so unfair we hardly ever see it when it comes to normal running sessions. We want to see you playing with it.

That's an excellent bit of kit. I can imagine that touring around the old folks clubs and multiple occupancy homes and hospices.

great viud thanks for the great vlogs thanks keep up the vlogs

nice layout really good

No way 😮
