Hornby Class 25 Bo Bo Diesel 25241 with Headcodes which illuminate in the direction of travel (1981)
Because it is a live chassis I have split the rear pick-up bogie and used a piece of spruce wood and araldite to hold it together and swapped 1 axle 180 degrees now both pick ups are on the same bogie the spruce wood being an insulator and the back bone so there is no short circuit Used a TCS 4X and everything is wired correctly (red & Black to track Grey and orange to motor) & it works BUT intermittently so I cannot go slow HELL I have even got the lights working in the direction of travel as well BUT it is very patchy and the track is clean.
I have an R2655 - SW Trains BO-BO Diesel Electric Class 73 and looking at the pick-ups it has I am wanting to know if there is a cross reference of a BO-BO bogie that will fit the Class 25 with the more efficient Pick-up of the track that will fit ?
