Thanks for the comments; its been a bit of a journey. Having never done anything like this before I had no idea what the end result would or should be, so my expectations were exceeded with every step of the way. Each little tweak mostly improved things, sometimes it went backwards.
When Dave suggested putting on the extra trolley, just by itself, I fully expected it not to go anywhere so I was as surprised as anybody else when it pulled the load it did.
Bill; I know what you mean by Last of the Summer Wine. It seems to be a bit like that in these model engineering clubs. Is it just we are boomers with a lot of free time or a case that we've slowed down to the point where we are patient enough to spend the time needed to do the job properly. Although Compo would have would have been an unlikely club member.
Now I'm building my own riding trolley and there will be some minor tweaks to the loco, none of which is really relevant to the this forum. Then its on to another project which has yet to be determined.
Anyway I hope you have all enjoyed the virtual ride with me.
Pete
