D9015 was a limited edition of 550 in 1998, its far better geared and crawls beautifully if lubed and maintained properly. I love the paint scheme on it! They get better as they go, my 55009 (same motor) goes another 50% faster and will happily pull 12 old tri-ang mk 1s. I imagine it would take modern coaches like they weren't there! £28 is steal for it, they go for £80 + now. Beware of flash (like on an airfix kit) from the gear where it comes off the sprue. get that off the teeth, clean off the old grease and keep the bearings well oiled. They never let you down these old models.
Thanks for the advice regarding the gears - I'll have a look next tiem I have the bodies off. The Deltic has got smoother with time - I suspect it hadn't even been run in when I got it. Cheers, Rich.
@@richardhiggins6471 Very often unused. All of mine were when they came to me. A thorough overhaul remove the old grease) and polish the contacts again before 3x 10 mins each way (if you do 30 mins each way it beds in better one way than the other). Once run in they are fantastic performers!
@@richardhiggins6471 As long as the gears, the spindles they sit on and the wheels, wheel axles and pickup contacts it'll run sweet for hours and hours. I left mine running overnight by accident and it was still cool 8 hours later when i got to the layout! It had sped up considerably too. Yours is rare, take care of it!
Happy New year Richard ! Thank you for the new video. I also like Lima diesels. They are rather good, if some what dated .....a bit like myself ! Simple, robust and very easy to keep in service. Also in this day and age affordable . Looking for to any future productions. Kind regards John
