I BOUGHT THIS LOCO LATE LAST YEAR ON EBAY. IS IN GOOD CONDITION, EXCEPT IT HAS SOME WHEEL WEAR, WHICH DIDN'T SURPRISE ME GIVEN ITS AGE.
ANYWAY, THE WHEELS SEEM TO GET A BIT DIRTY RATHER QUICKLY(my tracks are cleaned regularily) AND THEN THE LOCO'S SPEED IS VARIABLE, UNTIL I CLEAN THE WHEELS AGAIN. RUNS WELL WITH CLEAN WHEELS !!
SO, MY REQUEST FOR ADVICE IS: IS THIS COMMON FOR WHEEL WEAR, OR SHOULD I BE LOOKING FOR OTHER ISSUES?
ADVICE WOULD BE MUCH APPRECIATED.
WOMBAT,
AUSTRALIA.
I would love to help but I have no clue.
You may have a better chance at a good answer over at the Model Railroad Forum. Most of the people on this forum are 3 rail or 2 rail O or S gauge. The guys on the MR forum are most HO.
