I Love the In and Out the Shed Business 👍🏻 You never Fail to Make me Smile with every Overhaul that’s completed. Awesome Transformation to this Classic Black 5. Thanks for Posting ✨🙏🏻👍🏻
There's always a great sense of achievement when a loco returns to working order. Another great repair, Bill, and a great looking loco. Thanks for shaaring.
This is a very good summary of your 'normal Ringfield service', Bill. I really have no excuse, now, for not tackling my sluggish Black 5: an eBay purchase with missing valve gear (now replaced), it's never run right. The tender always tries to overtake the loco! Must try giving the loco axles a scoosh...!
Hi Bill, The Black 5 is one of my favourite loco's. I wanted one long before Triang/Hornby made one. To the point where, like many, I butchered a Triang Princess to make one. Nice to see another one saved. Was just thinking that a Wrenn 4mt 2-6-4 tank would look nice on your layout for suburban use. I know you have the Hornby one, but the Wrenn engine is IMHO a much nicer engine. But then again I am biased as it is my favourite loco. All the best, and thanks for another great video.
Hya Bill I got the 4f back from you yesterday afternoon thanks very much and I am going to give it a run this afternoon on my layout I will let you know how it goes
Bill, how do the motors get so dirty, do they pick up muck from the track. Apart from cleaning the rails , on a regular basis I vacuum the track to remove any dust build up.
Well done Bill you made my day putting the engine in and out of the shed,it really made the video :) I have one of those Black 5s i bloody love it,like most it comes with the date it was made stamped on the service sheet.I would much rather have this old engine than some of the rubbish Hornby knocks out these days Haha! Stay safe and happy :) Oh yeah i forgot to ask where do you buy that contact cleaner from ?
Another brilliant video. One thing I wanted to ask when doing a cd motor conversion and you use diodes to reduce the voltage to the motor how do you wire them up and do you use the Zena type?
I hope that you didn't send it back to him like that Bill.... The valve gear on the left hand side of the locomotive is incorrectly assembled... The combination lever should be in front of the crosshead not to the rear of it. It's correctly assembled on the right hand side of the locomotive for comparison. Best Regards, Jules.
