Re: Servicing an old Lima loco
Runs like a sewing machine! Found the fault (user error).Need a decent 8 pin decoder with Back EMF - any ideas anyone? Still need to source some wheels too as running on the old ones at the moment - can't quite bring myself to buy replacement wheels that will cost nearly as much as a railroad chassis.

Re: Servicing an old Lima loco
Well - had a good run out the last few days on the little circuit layout I'm building for my Nephews. Amazing runner now. Gave my Lima 50 the same treatment & it is superb too. Tried a 37 & the results are way different. Runs OK on the curves but judders & stops on straight track. Changed the brushes & made sure the traction tyres are in place. Very odd. Anyhow - picture of some old Lima locos for a sunday night.
