Many thanks for the video, my first DCC conversion has been a Lima Class 92 and that went well. I wanted to convert my old Hornby Britannia but on taking the cover off didn't think I would have enough space. Now seeing this think it's possible.
Just bought a 2004 Coronation Scot Pack where the loco is wired this way so your vid very helpful. Mine shows a slight tightspot as well so perhaps a tooling issue but after good lube and running in on DC for a couple of hours things seem better. Planning to do a sound fitting on mine with Youchoos kit and Zimo decoders always improve running again.
May be worth trying a back-to-back wheel gauge, which checks the spacing between drivung wheels. It allows you to push them together to make sure they are running true
Hi, I am looking for precisely the type of Hornby 4-6-2 you are working on in this video that has a loco drive, not a tender drive, and has the bogie under the cab as a separate free moving bogie with flanged wheels, unlike the current batch of Hornby locos. What are the identifying details for this loco? Serial number, year build date? How do I identify it?
Hi there. This exact loco comes in a train pack Hornby produced with three royal train coaches. I have done a review of the pack itself shortly before I filmed this video. The serial number for the pack is R2370
Unfortunately I don’t have the equipment to film directly overhead shots atm. I’ll try in the future to get some better stuff to allow me to get better angles.

The issue definitely wasn’t the back to backs. Pretty sure it was the valve gear. Either way she’s running perfectly now.
@@fyfieldjunction That's good, glad to hear she's running better.
I found your video very informative, and useful.
No problem, thanks for watching 👍

Hi, thanks, I did some some more searching and managed to find the duchess class with the specification I wanted as above, thanks again
You can see it but we can't,try overhead

Please please stop waffling. Less words more close ups ...thankyou.
I try my best to keep waffling to a minimum but it’s just in my nature.
