Dear All,

I have a brand new Liliput BR45 with sound, it certainly sounds terrific with the Loksound 3.5 however the pulling power seems not to be very good, it stalls on in incline of only 12mm in 600mm when pulling only 5 wagons, I was just wondering if anybody else has one and if the problem might be the motor or the gearing , it does have traction tyres and runs perfectly in a straight line, or it might have something to do with the decoder setting for acceleration and braking, anybody have any ideas?

Regards

Anthony J

Hi Guys,

I have spoken to Richard at lenght about the problem with the BR45, I checked the voltage on my Lenx LZV100 and made CV50 what was needed to bring the voltage down to 14v but nothing changed so far. I also ran my BR05 the same as yours Neil, this is a brand new model and was even worse than the BR45, trouble just going up the 2% grade, it also has a very annoying short between the tender and the Loco where the wires sometimes get bent.
I will try this weekend to superglue up the drive on the BR45 with some locktight and see what happens, I have been told that this certainly works for the Wien Liliput models and was a known problem, when done it should pull 20 or so wagons which would suit me fine. I think that I will not be buying Liliput ever again, however the SVT137 railcar that I have straight out of the box worked fine.

Back soon with the continueing saga

Regards

Anthony
