Hello Keith, took it apart and cleaned it a bit and it is running! For something which has been in a box for years it runs quite well albeit a bit jerky at the moment. A combination of that brass plate, a clean and making sure the pickups were making contact
Hi Keith thanks very much gif doing this. I followed your instructions ensuring I had the brass plate in the correct position however, when I placed it on the track I had a few hesitant starts then nothing. I will take it apart again and see what I have missed👍
Progress. I would put in the connector from a 35 or 31 into the bogie for testing outside the body. Once the bogie is running well make sure all the connection touch points are clean using a fiberglass pen or similar and it should be possible to get it running okay.
These are not the best Triang bogies. I have 15 of them on various locos and they can be troublesome. Some well documented design flaws and if your magnet is weak then that just compounds things.
