HI
I have one of Hornbys T9s,which looks very much the part,have some not very steep gradients,and will not take 2 Hornby mansell coaches and a four wheel van,I think the tyred wheels are just lifting from the track at start of the slope.
I think that maybe take a small amount off the bogie pivot might help.
I would have someone do the job,as I have Motor Neurone Diease and my hands are pretty useless
If front bogie was removed and loco stood on flat surface would sit straight or would fall forword, I presume
that wires for the bogie pickups go though the pivot,as I cannot see any wires underneath.
The T9 that I have when recevied it new from a shop on ebay,7 out of 8 tender pickups where not touching the wheels
good old Hornby they might get there in the end.
