Good video, would be great to hear you better, possibly with slightly quieter music, please do more content on your Channel, you sound like your enjoying it 😊
Double check to make sure none of the gears are cracked or chipped, and that the side rods are straight and free of burrs. All of those things will cause the loco to stutter. Cleaning the wheels also helps with a brass brush helps, but it seems like the main issue was those bits jammed in the gears (likely the result of someone running on the floor). By the by, what's the backing track?
Oh i should check that! I really hope the gears are okay. I didn't notice anything strange, but i wasn't specifically looking for it... I think (and hope) it's most likely the wheels that need a clean now. Brass brush you say? any particular kind you'd recommend?
@@tastytrains9175 the kind used for cleaning electrical contacts is good, which you can get at the local hardware store for a few quid. There are also special powered wheel cleaning brushes, but those are more pricey. You just want use something soft enough it doesn't unnecessarily scratch the wheels. Btw, your track does look pretty shiny, but go over it with a cloth soaked with vinegar or isopropyl if you haven't already, get any remaining bits of gunk off.
