The 'Reaction' I got over me just playing with my Model Tornado Loco

[JJ73]

Hiya

I just got 'over-Reaction' from someone just for me doing a quick vid about my Tornado, Click Here Please: -

or is it me messing about with some sound bytes from TikTok??? 🤔🚂

[M. Matthews]

I honestly don’t understand what your post and video is about?

[Potterton]

Me neither. Out of focus and off target as well. (I did notice the smoke deflector tip up along with the nameplate as the loco moved off though.)

Obviously it's the OP messing about as he says, (probably storm chasers), but what's the point?

[JJ73]

Was just having a bit of fun - What's the Point - What's the Point in anything??? 🚂

Doesn’t matter what you do JJ some folk will always find fault. You carry on doing what pleases you and ignore them. Did you find your smoke detector that fell off.

[JJ73]

Thank you Raf - With the Smoke detector / deflector - in the past, the 1 on the left had side broke off, then the 1 on the right-hand side broke off ☹ as b/c they are such a delicate part - I've decided not to glue them back on - b/c I think that they may just brake off again!!! & Yes, I did find it again - I had only just placed it on for the purpose video - that is why it's a) on a bit of a slant at the start of the vid & b) if fell off after a few seconds!!! 🚂

Stick them on with a little black tack it’s a stronger the blue tack and it’s black! So it shouldn’t show up as easily as the blue would. You can get it if eBay.

[JJ73]

Hmmm - not sure - never heard of it - only blue tack - they may still fall off??? 🤔🚂🚂🚂

[Fazy]

Off course they’ll still fall off if you fiddle with them it’s not glue. But it will hold it on better then just resting them on the loco. you’ll be able to run the model without then falling off ever time it moves.

if you have ever taken a loco apart, you may have seen the wires stuck to the top of the motor with some black stuff. Guess what it is.

there’s also white and pink, Well there use to be not looked for it in years. I know this because I worked in the factory which made the stuff.

I use black tack all the time for holding wires and speakers in place. I got my last lot from Road and Rails. As someone said it is not permanent but still pretty strong. On my Rails Railcar I even used it to hold the thin speaker to the underside of the roof. Not that it is applicable for this application but when I use it to hold wires down, I cover it with tape to stop it attaching itself to the loco body.
