Dropping back onto a project I talked about a couple of weeks ago, Mr. B's Triang Hornby Britannia which he left with me some time ago. The Britannia looked good but it had a dodgy motor. Given that the motor was the old X04 one which was probably well over 40 years old it was time to replace it which I had nearly got to as outlined in this post.
The new and different motor was fitted without many issues despite being different to the original.
This was done whilst I was building the control panel that I have posted about over the last few weeks. What it really needed was a running in session to get the new motor running smoothly with the old running gear of the loco.
I set up an oval of track on the floor of the Man cave and left it running whilst changing directions and speed. So it runs well and the body can now go back on. Hopefully Mr B will soon be reunited with his loco.
The trouble with setting up an oval of track like that is it sparks ideas.....
