Hi, Thanks for all the comments, very helpful. Will try these!

Thankyou Very much will try these Youtubes!

Hello, Would anyone be able to help me to self-service my own locomotives? YouTube vids? Websites? Books? Training Courses? First Hand Experience With a Hornby Modeler? Thanks!?

Hi guys, I have owned Hornby and collected it for a while now, but now i decided it was time to start a Model Train Layout (welcome any tips that you have learnt!😉). Any way, i have began to notice recently that when you run a locomotive around the track there is a small amount of spin in the wheels (like a car with bald tires trying to gain traction). Now this is made even worse when you add any type of carriage to the loco. Now i believe, i may be mistaken, but its down to the weight of the loco and/or no magnets to connect to the track with? Would love some help on this!? (And any tips on Modelling). Thanks!

Thankyou very much, this is a massive help!

Thanks Andy, How would you protect the track, or do you not have to?

Hello Guys, I have recently come in to a large haul of Scalextric Track, the track came in appalling condition as had not been properly cleared up (Paint from a previous landscape layout, and very dull grey track) I have been trying to get through most of the track with abrasive rubbers recommended by Scalextric, these quite frankly did nothing towards the dirty track, quite obviously coated in a thick layer of gunk. I then turned my attention to extremely fine, like seriously soft glass paper, this did have an effect, but was wearing the track down, still not very good electrical contact between the cars and making the car brushes extensively dirty therefore not making them work. I have found a video on YouTube about using WD-40 and scotch pads, i have not tested this theory out, as I am not hundred percent sure of this theory! It would be greatly appreciated if I could get some tips and help! Thanks! 🙂

Thankyou very much Also, I have got a Graham Fairish Loco that is getting on for 100 years it is a 1920's model. it is not working and I really need some help on this, does anyone know about these, 96RAF? Does anyone have any ideas on who could fix these or something or who would offer to take it off me for a service?

please

Any ANSWERS? hahah (sarcastically)

This is a fairly new set, brought off eBay about year and a half ago. it is the 'Country To Coast' set, it was in excellent condition and worked like clock work up until now, got it out, un-packed the set, brought out the train, set up the track, cleaned it checked the loco out and then turned on the track and brought the power up slowly as normal, but for some reason will not gain speed. checked points on track and checked the controller for faults, all good. I then gradually went up to full power and still trundled around the track really slowly, when i sometimes do races this loco always wins and is my fastest loco up until now. Physically the loco is in awesome condition. If anyone could help me on this subject it would be appreciated! Thanks! Wynton

@Going Spare Yes most of your comments, there is a weight loose in the body and I think that the track is steel as it has a silver colour to it. Thanks you have been Extremely Helpful!

It is Blueish In Colour And Has Been Sitting In A Loft For About 3-4 Years
