I've been running Inglenook puzzles on my new shelftop layout and it's a lot of fun. Having some trouble with stalling over a PECO SL-90 double slipswitch at slower speeds though. For context it's most notorious for the Hornby 0-6-0 terrier and the W4 Peckett tank engines. My J15 seems to manage fine. Any advice on fixing this? Love your work.
@ThatModelRailwayGuy2 жыл бұрын
Hey Zachary, I would check to make sure that the double slip is laid completely flat and not bowing at all. I had similar trouble with mine initially because of this as it would cause the smaller locos to lift some of their wheels off the track. Hope that helps and thanks for watching 😃

Hi, the Fish Van seems to be prone to jumping, maybe some weight in it? However, you could leave it as is & use it as a track tester. Because part of where its jumping looks like a lump in the track, short length of rail just off the point from the main line. 4:36 shows the location. Hope this helps.
@ThatModelRailwayGuy2 жыл бұрын
Hi Chris, yeah I'm aware. It's a really old wagon (possibly from the 80s/90s?) which means the wheels and flanges aren't as fine as more modern wagons causing it to jump on the frog of the point. Thanks for watching 😃

Isn't it funny how we have been groomed by Hornby over the last two years to believe that £70 is a now good bargain for a tiny shunter.

If you're referring to the Midland 1F that I said was a bargain it's actually a Bachmann model so I think it's a bit unfair to blame Hornby for that.

Nicely done, there, That Model Railway Guy. Most enjoyable to watch. The 1F is a gem. You're sure right in that just shuffling wagons at random can get tedious very quickly. Much better to have a plan of attack, so to speak. However, may I ask if using a second loco to tack on the brake van violates the Inglenook principle? Of course, you'd have to back the whole train to the brake van otherwise. I'll be attempting this on a (virtual) layout shortly, no doubt.
