trix big boys

Posted by Anonymous on Wednesday, August 18, 2004 11:43 PM

Anyone having loss of pickup problems with the tender on trix big boys. I have added tension to the "feelers" on the tender wheelsets but the loco still stops at times. When this happens I have to "twist" the tender and all is well. Sent it back to Trix and they "repaired" it to no avail.

??????????

I have two, #4013 and 4015, and never had such a problem, possible your model had a broken soldering point or wire.

My one (4015) was so wired that it run in the wrong direction !!!

I send it back to Märklin and they made the repair.

BTW: I think each model will be tested after building D][(-D][#dots]

I have no problems with my 4013 or the 4015. Your experience with the Bid Boy is not a common problem.
Our club has several of the Bib Boys operatiing and the operation time for each complete run is over one hour with no problems.
