Great videos, I like fixing things as well. One little tip I saw online.... when working with clip-on bodyshells I now use guitar plectrums and one corner is tapered to a feather edge and they are flexible and cheap.

Great as always Dan. I ruined my old Lima 4f Fowler a few months ago( this multiple edits)😊with mix of failing eyesight and an errant soldering iron. Same was going to happen to my 1978 HST 125 until I looked back at your Henry loco fix. A minor adjustment of the retaining clip I must have bent as a child and bingo. With the exception of a weakened magnet we are back on the rails. Thank you. She pulls four carriages and the dummy..though takes a lap or two to build decent momentum

Maybe you should start a Hornby VEP owners club! I spent this morning doing a difficult job. My blue VEP suddenly juddered to a halt, and the wires going to the power bogie had become detached! I had to solder on a new length of wire and put on heat shrink. The white wire goes to the connection point by the capacitor and the green wire goes to the pickups. I have found the VEP a troublesome model. The wires between the cars can break, in which case the easiest thing to do is replace the whole assembly. The latest VEP is a bit better, but inherits the foibles of its predecessor! A job you can do is to drill out the 1st Class compartment where there is a solid wall where there should be interior windows. This fault has been rectified on the blue and white VEP and the latest VEPs. Thanks for uploading.
