On a different note I got the tender for the Br24 you put me onto,waiting for it to come thro' in the post. Ian.

Have a Merry Xmas. Ian. First a question - what catalogue number has the pickup shoes? Second isn't it so that the undercarriage of this model is articulated? Third the old croc 3015 has got two pickup shoes 7175 and I would assume that it is due to two reasons. i) The engine itself is articulated and ii) the pickup shoes are short and therfore there is a need to have two in order to not get stuck for instance on points.

I love to see mine with a rake of "thunderboxes" in tow. Sometimes I run them with rebuilt 6 wheel coaches, or light freight trains. What about you?

Quick question,it has a electronic reverse unit, thought it might run on digital but can't load it onto MS. Runs ok on analogue but does not have much turn of speed? Ian.

All 33xx seem to run more slowly than the 30xx or 31xx analog locos. I think it has to do with the electronic reversing circuit. If you decide to convert it to digital remember to change the light bulbs. The 33xx locos have low voltage lamps. I always forget and blow them up when I convert them!

When it arrived it's only got 2 pantographs instead of 4. It registered itself on the MS as 482.It must be a basic model with a metal body and runs really well.The Loco cost me £46 Ian.
