That loco smell

No-one has suggested you check what is happening electrically... If you can check what current they are drawing.... at least pop the body off and run them slowly agains a clear white background (a sheet of paper) and watch that they are not smoking. <br /> <br />If you use a fibreglass brush - or any other abrasive - make absolutely sure you don't get any glass/grit/dirt into what you are cleaning or you will set up problems for the future. One way to do this is to clean from below...DON'T get bits in your eyes! You can also work as close as possible to the nozzle of a vacuum cleaner BUT make certain that bits of the loco don't get sucked up! (Now how would I know that?) <br /> <br />When I read the thread title I thought "Oh no! they've only just got sound...now they want smells as well"!
