Just a line to see if all is well with the hogwarts. while I ran mine,the small casting the holds the drive rod in place when it moves inside the cylinder,poped out freezing up the drivers on the engine. I disassemlbled the mechanizm & poped it back in place. It seems to be ok. any other problems out there??? Thanks Easter
We’ve been running our with just one minor problem - the pin holding one of the power pickup rollers started to slide out, so I needed to get pliers and re-seat it.
I overfilled the smoke chamber with fluid. Made a mess but no permanent damage. I set the engine up on Jak Stands to break in. It is very quiet in forward but there was a slight buzzing sound when in reverse. Has anyone else noticed this?
Set looks real nice on O-72 and runs very well. Wll have to rework the tree stand/layout for the Christamas layout since it uses O-36. Set runs on O-36 but 'm not happy about the appearance (too much overhang).
No buzz sound over here,just a low whinnig sound. It is a smooth running engine & I did have to add wait to the tender. Had alot of bounce going on when it ran over the Super O switches. Easter.
