• Let's Get This Non Run... W2218 Motor Rebuild
• Some Fun On The Tri-an... W2218 Running With Broken buffers
Today I take another look at this excellent Wrenn 2218 2-6-4 B.R. 4MT tank loco. Last time I ran it it was missing two buffers, I found a bit of time the other day to sort this out. Today I run it on the Tri-ang Hornby Super 4 Layout with the little Wrenn R1 loco, W2205 that I got running last week. Thanks for watching
Very interesting video again, look forward to seeing next week's video nice buffer repair
Thanks for looking Martin, Using spare broken drill bits is a great way to fix delicate items back on to the casting if you are able to drill through them ok. Take care, all the best to you
Another superb video and a great fix for the buffers of the 4MT.
I'm really pleased to get the buffers back on this. take care, all the best to you
Looking forward to the running trials with the 2-6-4. Lovely video, thanks.
I hope to get this sorted very soon. Take care, all the best to you
Nice job and a lovely loco very interesting.
I'm pleased to hear you liked seeing this running, thanks for watching, all the best to you
Looking forward to the shunt evaluation!
Thanks for watching, I look forward to getting back to the layout and doing more when I'm able. Take care, all the best to you
The Hornby Dublo / Wrenn 2218 ( 2 6 4 T) was one of the best RTR model locomotives ever produced.
I think I agree, considering this was first issued in the 1950's it's a really well designed item. Best regards to you
I have this same wrenn locomotive. I cleaned it all up and she runs excellent
That's good to hear, these are well made locos and I think they look really good running. Thanks for looking, all the best to you
Excellent buffer repair. I like these 2-6-4 tanks. I have a W2246 (CR 2085) which I love. It's probably the most expensive locomotive I've ever purchased. Interested to see the experiment around the Gauss theorem!
I don't have that excellent variant, it's very nicely detailed version and the blue looks great. I bet it is a favourite of yours. thanks for looking, all the best to you
@@MrSnooze You've inspired me; I'll try to do a Caledonian UA-cam soon as I also have a couple of CR123 (aka 14010).
An in bits with experiment to follow, you spoil us Mr S!
Was it yourself who mentioned the hole in magnets with a pin to adjust the magnetic flux🤓👏👏👍👍😁
Thanks for looking, I'm hoping to gain a bit more knowledge about flux. All the best to you
@@MrSnooze & Capacitors, if you can get the speed🤣
@@jimmanyk yes indeed, I notice both the station buildings on the back of the layout have decent clocks on them so I just need to attach a wire and wait for the lightening 🙂
That must be an early period 1 issue still with the hole in the bunker. Early Wrenn items are very interesting!
Hello I certainly think it is early, it also has plastic wheels on the front and rear bogie, my other 2-6-4's have metal tyred wheels on the bogies. Thanks for looking, all the best to you
I have had the Hornby model of this since 1958 ,i have just tried to service it its running but niw got to look at either a neo magnet or get it re magnetised .
Hello, yes if you have a weak magnet they will run poorly. If you cant get your hands on a remagnetiser a neo may help it run better. Thanks for looking, best regards to you
Great job on the buffers lovely show Patrick Quinn IRL
Thanks Patrick, I'm glad you found this interesting. All the best to you
My Wrenn 4MT tank front bogie sometimes derails on my super 4 track points, is there anything I should check?
First thing I would do is check the back to back, 14.2 mm is what I use. Maybe glue a bit of weight to it to stop it jumping. Thanks for watching, all the best to you
