seen it, a little long winded though, prehaps the next one could be condensed!
We all suffer from similar problems!!
You can see the importance of a flat railway to manual locos though!

I know! it didn't help that there was an endless cycle of when it wheelslips, it spits out a lot of oil, making the tracks in front of it more slippy, leading to more wheelslip and so on!

nice one mate.
there seems to be quite a bit of rattling from edrig, have you oiled the eccentrics and rockers?

DolwyddelanLightRail · Post by **DolwyddelanLightRail** » Tue Dec 22, 2009 3:15 pm

I practically oiled everything that can move really, but this was after 3-4 hours of it being run, so it may have been that it had worn off.

I will re-oil everything (and finish Cleaning it up!) when I am next able to.

take a joke

just to clear things up I dont hate Edrigs and have had them run on my line quite well but I just think they are the ugliest things on rails

are you going to have a complete loop when you build your railway or just a back and forth deal like you have now?

It's going to be a loop at one end and a steam up area at the other with no loop, hopefully as that is all my garden can take as it is incredibly steep, i think too steep to rack locos!

And I've just had a look at my insight and I got 41 view yesterday!

Broke my record my double!

Well, after yesterdays runs with Edrig and Britomart, yup, you guessed it, I have also made a Second Christmas Specials, but now the same as last time, this one is a Memorial Run, cause it is the closest I can get it to my Grandfathers Birthday, as I have 3 Memorial Runs a Year (Well, I try to!) In his memory.

I'm uploading the vid now, once it's finished I'll post it.
