Hi all
I've just been playing around with a Heljan 26 that I purchased in January and it needed a fair bit of remedial work doing before it would behave like an engine should. First things was that all the wheel contacts needed to be adjusted, bogie frames glued on & wheels needed a really good clean before it would move. Is this a normal activity for Heljan owners, now it's all done the thing works really well, but lots of work on a relatively expensive bit of kit. I've mentioned quality control of both Hornby and Bachmann before but both are far superior, generally speaking, than this model. Should I expect more of the same from "kestrel" when it arrives next year?
Cheers
