Ótimo vídeo! Sou vidrado em locomotivas a vapor HO.....Tenho uma Jubilee Class Mainline de nº 5530, com seu tender. Vejo muitos vídeos falando mal dessa locomotiva, mas gosto muito delas e acho até que elas rodam suavemente em baixas velocidades....Obs: Tenho um controlador DC-PWM, o que facilita muito rodar em baixas velocidades sem trancos.

Nice work Mike, I have the Mainline Leander as well and it's a fine model for its age. The split chassis isn't as big a nightmare as it is rumoured to be, yes you need to keep an eye on the wheel axles for splitting but replacements can still be bought and as you showed they run nicely if looked after.

Locking brush screws in, but so that they can be removed again later - I put a dot of pva wood glue under the head, before tightening it down. Then the screw cannot creep, but will undo on demand. As a totally irrelevent aside - at one time (1975ish) I served on HMS Minerva, which was a Leander class frigate.

This turned out a straightforward service job Mike. Although I will mention that it's a myth that electrolubd causes shorts, just like a myth that "conducive" lube needs to be used for axles that pick up power like in hornby ringfields. A Certain you tube service channel is to blame methinks. Lovely looking loco.

Many thanks, yes more or less as expected with this one. Electrolube certainly does cause shorts especially in split chassis models! We learned this to out cost back in the late 70s with my std class 4 by Mainline unusable until being stripped and left in a lighter fuel bath and a new card insulation fitted. Amazingly it also stopped my Triang Pannier tank but meths sorted that. Its a fantastic cleaner and light lube but is capable of causing trouble.

Great work. My favourite Jubilee tender engine runs again. A long time ago, I was certain the Black 5 would be in my then line-up of top 5 favourite steamies. However, my first ride behind Leander on the Severn Valley Railway made me change my mind. I've got the exact same Mainline model of Leander as you. I bought mine from an SVR stand on Kidderminster Town Station a few years ago, for £75. She runs like a dream. A good thing we both love Leander. Let's hope Royal Scot's service story has the same happy ending. I've got my fingers crossed. What's not to love about LMS steamies?

Thanks for reminding me of the important little quirks of Mainline with screws and washers. Hope i paid attention to that when i last opened one up to service around forty years ago. Glad i did not buy too many of them , but this was helped in Melbourne that all Mainline locomotives from the 03 to all the tender locomotives were $55 whereas the top price for a Wrenn Pacific was $41. The appeal of the extra detail on Mainline was easily outweighed by the arbitrary high prices.

I just had one of these delivered from Hattons on Friday! Love it so far, I have heard a lot about the “Mainline Noise” and was wondering if someone could describe it to me? Strange question I know but mine is making a sort of high-pitched sound and faster speeds, it runs like a top after some tlc though!

@@ModelRailwaysUnlimited Sadly despite being beautiful looking lovely locomotives for late 1970''s and early 1980's - far better than Hornby of the time - mechanically they are a nightmare to work on. As stated the main issue can be the split axles - a terrible idea - along with the 'live' split chassis and how the juice gets from the lives sides to the brushes differs depending on the type of loco. THe earlier ones the inserts are round section so as they get loose through age or lubrication seeps in the wheels can drift out of quarter, later locos are square section so at least the wheel quartering is a doddle. The white 'pod' motors on the class 03, 57xx Pannier and 66xx 0-6-2 are quite nice but use tails from the brush retainers that become brittle and frequently refuse to touch the live sides or break off after dismantling and re-assembly, but the integrated metal housed motors on the J72 and all tender locos use different length screws but are a pig to clean out. The carbon brushes are tiny, and every component is small and fiddly. There are also the tiny white washers that fit on the armature shaft either side of the commutator. They must have used children with tiny fingers in Hong Kong to assemble them If you've ever taken apart a Warship it will do your head in. The Peak is the simplest and easiest Mainline to work on tbh If you like a challenge, and the feeling of doing 'proper' maintenance, they can be picked up cheap on auction sites, but you never know what your going to get. Despite being 3-pole they can be made to slow run fairly smoothly, but are very noisy
