RE: stained's purchases - stainedgaming - 08-05-2022 Yes, I talked about that in the thread I said I removed the connecting rods to change it RE: stained's purchases - Super - 08-05-2022 Strange as the motor doesn't look like its slipping but the wheels to track does. RE: stained's purchases - stainedgaming - 08-05-2022 Probably needs a weight, perhaps something is lifting the back wheels up? But again, the disability to get inside is biting us in the back again RE: stained's purchases - stainedgaming - 08-05-2022 (08-05-2022, 02:06 PM)stainedgaming Wrote: You must be thinking: "Already? Why have you bought something already?" Any ideas on my question? Maybe Muddy will know RE: stained's purchases - Donald9Douglas10Oliver11mp - 08-05-2022 Those wires on gordon are very thick. Maybe that's why he's struggling. On ramps it's important that the drawbar can bend up/ down and the wires might be reducing its ability to do so. Try seeing if its easy to turn if it's not. I think the wires need to get replaced however it's not possible unless you take it apart RE: stained's purchases - stainedgaming - 08-05-2022 I can turn it but it makes a little squeaking noise It's alot stiffer than James' drawbar RE: stained's purchases - Donald9Douglas10Oliver11mp - 08-05-2022 At one point I took my Gordon apart for a clean and when I put the wires back in the tender I didn't leave enough length, so when he wold turn corners the tender wouldn't turn very well. I did fix it at one point, however it does show what that the wires could hamper the performance of the engine Really the drawbar shouldn't be hard to turn Maybe by opening up the tender and extending the wires might help RE: stained's purchases - stainedgaming - 08-05-2022 So I should tighten them? RE: stained's purchases - Donald9Douglas10Oliver11mp - 08-05-2022 No I think you should try to make them longer by extending them with more wire. I'm not sure if it's ver robust, ideally you would replace the wires with longer and thinner ones wich offer more movement in the drawbar RE: stained's purchases - stainedgaming - 08-05-2022 I have no soldering iron It definitely looks tighter than James though |
