Ok, final update on the noisy loco. Sent it back to IRM and replacement arrived within a couple of days. And to be honest I don't really see any difference between the two. At least now I know that this noise is normal. Just have to live with it. Here is a quick clip of the new one. See what you think. VID_20240430_163513.mp4

Clogherhead - A GNR(I) Seaside Terminus
derek replied to Patrick Davey's topic in Irish Model Layouts
Jaysus! I thought you were starting another one. In a way I suppose you are -
Yeah, at this stage the loco is deffo going back. I have emailed IRM with a view to this, so just waiting for a reply. Thanks for all the replies/advice. If the replacement runs the same, then I will at least know that it is normal. Pain , but what can you do?
-
You're under pressure now boy No half measures will do at this stage. Am I right lads?

With the recent arrival of some brown cement wagons from Leslie, this train is fast becoming the @leslie10646 special. When I finally get around to assembling the two cattle wagons and the brake van I also got from him, it will really complete the picture. Those wagons of his are superb.
-
So do I need to send back the loco or what do I do? I had just about convinced myself to live with it, and said as much to Patrick in an email. But I don't like the sound of broken gear teeth or anything. Running it over time could probably make the problem worse? It sounds like a kid running a stick across railings. That kind of a rattle. Thanks for the reply. Derek

Hi lads, thanks for taking the time. Like you Dave, after I ran the loco in for an hour in each direction, the noise does seem to have diminished ( or am I just telling myself that). No, seriously it does seem better. And Oisin, I also run another 141 from the original run with no noise problems.
-
Hi Oisin. Thanks for the reply, but I can't seem to download your videos. Thanks nonetheless for taking time to upload them. From what you say in your reply, we seem to have similar set ups (and similar problems). I too use a pair of Hornby controllers. I have never had a problem before this with any of my locos. I have emailed IRM about it so we will see what develops. I wonder if anybody else is having this problem? (Although most probably use DCC) .Thanks again for the reply. Derek
-
Excellent Denis. So you do know a bit about building yourself after all.
-
Happy belated birthday Oisin. Does your loco sound ok? Mine doesn't. (see elsewhere on here). How do power your layout?
-
I am powering the layout with a pair of cheap as chips hornby controllers. Basic as you like. My other 141 ( one I bought from @WRENNEIRE so one of the original run) runs without a glitch. So does my IRM a Class. As does every other loco I run on it. Wonder should I send it back?. I was only running it in this morning....... I wonder if any of the lads from IRM might be able to shed some light on this. @BosKonay or @Garfield ?. I understand that IRM are not responsible for the manufacture of the locos but no harm to ask
-
Lads, my new 181 also does not sound right to my ears. Sounds a bit like an old tractor to be honest. And there is a whine above that noise. Not sure you can hear it here. VID_20240413_170037.mp4

Thanks for all the replies lads. Very informative as usual.
-
Thanks lads. All clear now. @DJ Dangerous, your reply was lovely and concise, whereas @Broithe yours was very informative. @jhb171achill is a mine of information isn't he? Thanks again to the both of you . So I now know my black and tans from my supertrains. Prob won't ever go down the IE or IR route. Hmmm, I still don't know what tippex is though. And don't start off with stationery products.
-
Could someone explain to the slower among us (me) what tippex livery is please? Also when talking about supertrain livery I took this to be black and tan. So what are the black, white and tan called?. 185 for example Ok I just checked pre orders and 185 is described as black and tan, although there is also white on it. Baffled
-
Just wanted to say well done to the lads at IRM for their service (this means you Patrick Conboy). After I sent a query to them regarding my 141 order last night I expected a reply maybe today. However I got that reply at 10.50 last night from Patrick. Thinking the reply had been sent earlier and had been stuck in the ether, I sent back a quick thank you. Lo and behold I received a reply almost immediately. Now that is what you call customer service! Always a pleasure to deal with

OK lads. I was totally wrong. Knuckles duly rapped . I wasn't getting at Richard in any way. I was merely trying to point out that it seemed like a lot of money to pay for a single loco. I never meant he was trying to rip anybody off. I am the first to admit I wouldn't have a clue about OO Works. -

derek replied to Richard EH's topic in For Sale or Wanted
Pardon my ignorance on these matters Richard. £330 (400euro?) for a loco just struck me as a bit high, so I apologise if I have spoken out of turn. Maybe the fact that it is 00 works? Probably should have kept my thoughts to myself. -

lovely prices- not -
Every day is a school day. Thanks. Amazing photo though, isn't it? Look at the guy in the peaked cap, hands in pocket, pure nonchalant. " Ah shur, I see the train came out through the station . Wonder what's for tea?"
