The Magnetiser works really well. Well made, quality piece of equipment. Very pleased with it.

Agreed!

I've ordered a remagnetiser. Will report results soon. Thanks.

Thanks for your reply.

I had thought about a remagnetiser but they are over £100 and that's quite a few neo magnets!

The source I used for the X04 ones no longer seems to trade and the only ones I can find on line for locomotives are the X04. I had previously also been able to get ones for Wrenn ...

I was able to source these for the Triang X04 but are they available for the Triang R157/R555 (DMU/Blue Pullman using the X3121 power bogie; they're be the same as the ones in the R357 and R751 (class 31 and 37)? Thanks for any help.

Thanks for your very complete reply. I saw some receivers on eBay for £10 but not sold but I'll keep an eye out.

I recently bought a locomotive with a receiver in it for the above (or what I googled is part of the above). Has anyone any experience/knowledge of that system which I understand was on the market in 1979 or thereby?

Great! Let us all know how you get on with that. Good luck.

Glad it is working for you. As I said, my PWM which provides great low speed performance, doesn't like them. Where I can, I fit extra pickups to help (in tenders mainly). I did a short YouTube on that; see @OOelectronics if interested.

I have found that the 220u 35V capacitors do make a difference on pure DC. I fitted thin strips of insulating tape over one side of the track spaced at exactly the wheel spacing on a Triang Jinty. At low speed, the loco would halt; at the same speed with the capacitor, it would manage to cross the ...
