My Triang Davey Crockett tender which I have had since new (1963) is fitted with a wood screw.

All the other locos watching this chassis running around without a body : O.O

Had one of these back in the late 1960's, with a smoke generator driven off the worm, and a sound box in the tender which had a piece of plastic that rubbed on a paddle on one of the tender axles to give a "chuff chuff" sound. As a 7 year old having a steam engine that looked and sound real was amazing.

Mine had the chuff chuff tender but no smoke. Only had the latter on a Pannier Tank

Wish I had a second-hand shop that offered me broken trains! Another good one.

There’s quite a lot of space up front because it used to have a smoke unit fitted when available in BR Black . Another good video

Should have used that old magnet in the tender for additional weight.

Cheers! I'm not done with her yet though. This is just getting her going but now I'll try to get her quieter and looking a little smarter.

Very interesting. I wonder how old it is. I still have my Triang Princess Royal, one day I’ll try to get that working. Although its coaches have deep flanges on the wheels so they hit the sleepers.

I use a brass brush on the Dremel to clean the commutator, then buff it to a polish to make it smooth and quiet.

I wouldn't do that. Brass is harder than copper. You're not actually cleaning it your grinding it down. OK as a one off on a really badly scored commutator as a means of re-finishing it but not as regular maintenance.

Hi Bill. Yes I know I mentioned about your method of cleaning commutator before, but like you said, by rubbing the pencil in direction of travel I'm sure is fine. I just cringe when people scrape axially. Nice video my friend, and yes I agree with you it's a lovely loco. Need to get to Norfolk and see the prototype one of these days. Kind regards Gary

Cheers. It'll be getting new gears and maybe a new rear bearing as it's still too noisy. And I need to repaint the wheels and fit a makeshift whistle.

I have been trying to do the same with my old Tri-angs and have just got my Lima Shunter working( the non prototypical one) and it runs great. Have made a video of it and will post it maybe next weekend. Love what you do.

Why don't you have an ultrasonic cleaner?

Why? Because I don't have unlimited money and space. But it's on my list along with a lot of other things I don't have the money and space for. All a question of priorities with everything else. I'm planning a complete re-organisation of my work space soon and may get one then. Along with a few other things.
