B15nac Posted June 15 Share Posted June 15 I've recently got a class 37 that wobbles when pulling away slight side to side when the drive is taken up. Is this normal for these? Just wondering if anyone else has had this issue? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this normal for these? Just wondering if anyone else has had this issue? Are the bogie surrounds mounted properly - this would be the most obvious cause? Perhaps the bearings are not properly located in the bogies? If not ... I'm guessing perhaps a dogbone / driveshaft is not fully in the drive cup slot, but hasn't separated either - this could give 'the wobble? Al.

The Meerkat Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 (edited) 37405 is very nice i agree, shame accurascale dont do some sort exchange for it lol do you think 301 will run under network rail again?? Edited June 19 by The Meerkat Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Covkid Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 (edited) 40 minutes ago, The Meerkat said: 405?? do you think 301 will run under network rail again?? Only personal opinion but I doubt very much that 97301 will ever work again. Of the four 97/3s specifically for the Cambrian ERTMS system, it was the non standard one with "the other" kit. Add to that that it wasn't particularly a healthy loco anyway. I believe it had it's power unit robbed to keep another 97/3 in traffic and was then sent of for storage on a preserved site. Network Rail technically had 37198 as a potential fifth 97/3, but never took it up. So these facts suggest to be that it is for a one way trip to the knackers yard. Meanwhile Harry is collecting EE type 3s for posterity.- including 37405 Edited June 19 by Covkid 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My list of wishes: ... Police, preferably with blue flashing light That last one made me laugh! I think though that when you have such a weird thing in a model, despite all the sales naysayers, it sometimes proves quite successful! Bring it on Accurascale - and make the DCC Sound version use the same 2-tone horns of the era used on the TV advert... perhaps with a modern version available on a higher number function key and modern image yellow flash overhead transfers to make it more... um... realistic... Like the Infrastructure 31, one I would most likely purchase it! OK, I'll get my coat now... Ixion. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also had this problem (with 409) - replacement from AS (via retailer, also to address a QC failure on body shell) had problem to a lesser extent. I then sent it to AS for rectification. It is now much better. BUT still moves fractionally when light engine, and noticeably when under load, and 'tremmours' a bit on points/uneven track. I need to follow up with AS again I think There either seems to be a design issue with the bogie securing mechanism, or an assembly/tolerance issue with some of the parts used. Its a real shame. Model looks lovely when its stationary or moving at a steady speed. Pleased to hear its not just me. But prior to your post I was the only person to flag this on here I think 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi @virginhst539, They're on their way and due in the coming weeks, so you can pay any time between now and arrival if you wish. We like to give fair warning so you can arrange finances if needs be!
