Hi guys. I have got the inevitable model of 75006. Unusually, it is actually a fairly good runner. I had a problem lately where the pin that hold the eccentric rod in at the top fell out. I managed to take it apart and fix it myself. Cue about 30 seconds of pride that I'd actually managed to do something myself! However....
When I test ran the loco, while the eccentric stays in place beautifully, the right hand rear driving wheel seems to be moving as it rotates i.e. rocking forwards and backwards. I know all about the dramas of these wheelsets being shafts into the axle, but on checking, the shaft feels fine. Have I simply reset the wheels in the wrong position? The left hand rear driver runs fine, so it is just this one wheel. Any thoughts greatly appreciated....
