Going Spare Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 Very good to hear the old grey matter is not completely failing me & glad to have been of assistance. As to why the problem was created, I suspect only the Chinese know. We stumbled upon it when replacement tender chassis frames were reported to be wrongly wired and even the Spares/QC people at Margate were nonplussed.GS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
creilly81 Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 So do I! Anyway give that man a prize - fitted the original tender and everything is fine. So now have to take the replacement tender apart and do a bit of soldering. This was a DCC Fitted M/N Clan Line - probably from a set - bought as new - it is stamped on the bottom of the loco "DCC Fitted" and fitted, as are most Clan Line models with a 6000gallon tender. As the loco is now 35001 Channel Packet, I wanted a 5100gallon tender, which the loco ran with from rebuild until about 1961/2. Picked up a mint condition one on ebay - and then the "error" problem began. I'm interested to know why the wiring was reversed. Thankfully a frustrating problem now sorted. Thanks everyone, especially GS for your assistance. Exactly as i suspected, as have experienced the same trhing. Easy fix and glad it's sorted! 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
