And how I improved it.
Ever since I first bought this Pug it's run like a three legged goat. I permanently coupled a wagon to it to which I'd made and fitted pick ups. This improved it but I wanted to have it running on it's own so I dived in to it. I didn't think to take pictures but it was all pretty simple really. I stripped it down completely and took the light weight weight out of the boiler and cut and bashed lead sheet (no I haven't been on any Church roofs) to fit the boiler. I left the Zimo MX621 decoder to one side and put an MX630 on top of the lead wrapped in Kapton tape. The boiler now weighs in at 50 Grams as opposed to 28 before. Then I ran the wires through to the cab including the positive blue and fitted a Lais stay alive with it's black wire going back to the decoder ground.I'm impressed with the way it performs now and might have a look at some others that don't perform 100%

Ps: The wires are OK if you don't move them around too much when fitting.

Sorry folks. It is an in-joke. Pete has been working valiantly to get a sound file working properly for me.

It somehow managed to launch itself across the other side of the road when I wasn't looking. :)

As it happens I finally got it done. I can't tell you how or I'd have to kill you all. Actually I can't tell you how because I don't know, but it's going OK now. :)[user=1120]peterm[/user] wrote:It somehow managed to launch itself across the other side of the road when I wasn't looking. :)
