Lovely to see.

As you know I have the CR Single, (and a few Black 5’s). I broke tge soldered joint of the wire to the motor, so need to fix that first. The magdahesion is a real pain on Peco points and I intend trying to replace the magnet with steel, just as 00Bill has done. I should try pulling the same number and type of coaches as a comparison and might post it. On one of my Black 5’s the frame is broken around the hole for the wire/towbar. Would like to find a new frame. Always interesting to see what you are up to. Cheers

Excellent. I was only thinking earlier today to try my Tri-ang Singles on the Super 4 layout. The Series 3 layout is uneven and has a rise from one end to the other. Worth looking at. More current is good for these old girls. 👍 Happy Modelling .

@monsvillerailways5736 the triang singles are great little engines.

@@shedhead00 they are indeed. I have the Lord of the Isles, the Caledonian and the Ex Caledonian. But i see there are quite a few more.

I just posted the Single ( with magnet removed) pulling three coaches. Difficult to get scale speed but that might be accomplished by adding a front bogie pick-up

I really do like your controllers layout. It puts mine to shame. Kind regards, Philip

@@model.train.railway. Thanks Philip, it's took me nearly 4 hrs to get this far with many mistakes on the way .before I started I knew little about electrical circuitry .Point motors the only thing I'd ever wired up on a layout before . All the best bob .
