I remember burning out the motor on the Tri-ang Caledonian 123 when I put a carriage-length load of solder in a carriage in order to make the loco slip authentically. It did for a short while before stopping and whiffing burning from the loco!

Hi Sam. I am a new subscriber. The Britannia class takes me back to my childhood in the early '60's. Great memories with my dad who has recently passed. My 70000 is in need of a new body. It had become damaged in the hands of a child. Namely myself many years ago. Sourcing a body in Canada is proving difficult. Have you any tips on suppliers? Either here or across the pond? Thanks for the great videos!

Hi, thanks so much for subscribing - I really hope you enjoy my channel! I'm sorry to hear about your dad, but it's good news that you're keeping his hobby going! Yeah, the Britannia bodies are particularly susceptible for damage! Unfortunately, it's just not possible to get these spares new any more, so your best bet is to look second hand - I'd recommend Ebay - I know tri-ang isn't as plentiful in and around the states as it is in the UK, but you might get lucky! Best of luck mate, Sam :)

+Why Not? Thanks a lot mate! I could do that - but you wouldn't see too much difference since I do them every six months, meaning that they get serviced well before they get desperate! Also, with a new loco that hasn't run in years, I don't like to run it until it's had a service, otherwise the motor might get a bit cross. Cheers, Sam :)
