Now that Brookhall Mill has found a fabulous new home, the process of chipping my DC locos for running on Clogherhead can start and my two OO Works locos have now been chipped, and also fitted with ‘stay alive’ capacitors for extra running smoothness. The blue U class was not a great runner in the past but thanks to the great work of Alan Nixon who serviced and cleaned the loco as well as adding the chip and capacitor, she’s running much more smoothly than before. The black UG, although strictly inappropriate for this layout in her current late-UTA livery, was always a solid runner and is even more so now. Although I think I will definitely change her to an all-black livery which will be more appropriate for this layout.
Many thanks to Alan @Tullygrainey
