Troublesome Truck Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 The service sheet for this train indicates that it is loco driven Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColinB Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 I see your issue, I Googled it and that doesn't help. As it is DCC ready I would say that it is loco driven, Hornby don't seem to "DCC Ready" Ringfield motor types as the current tends to damage a Hornby decoder if it stalls. I suspect the tender is probably the same as a tender driven one, but with the motor and drive removed and different wheels. They seem to use up all their old Ringfield based tenders on their Railroad models, my Railroad Mallard has the same. It does mean the tender has lots of weight. I found the Service sheet and as Troublesome Truck said it is loco driven. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Doc Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 I have this model and I can confirm it is loco-driven. It has traction tyres on one pair of driving wheels, and pick-ups on tender wheels. Mine runs beautifully (better than my D16 4-4-0 that cost nearly twice as much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
