You sometimes just wonder!
I spotted this on the roadside and thought does that refer to the sign itself, other signs, or what?
It does remind me of an episode of the Simpsons where this appeared!
Anyway, back to the WMD HQ were I was not in the mood for anything on the bench so I had a look at my Accurascale Andrew Barclay 0-4-0 loco that I got for Christmas 2024.
A wonderful loco, just like the ones at the Rocks By rail Museum. However, it was one that had the classic issue of the motor mount failing meaning the motor ran but the loco didn't!
Removing the body from the chassis was not too taxing although there is some cosmetic pipework to undo.
The culprits causing the issue are the two clips either side of the motor. They were not clipping the motor in place, hence the motor did not mesh with the rest of the drive gears. Although Accurascale supply a rectified replacement, I just bent the clips inwards and the motor clipped in place.
Body back on it was tested on the track and runs beautifully!
A nice quick job with a satisfactory ending! Nice!
