Thanks for the video link, Tony. I no longer own my Ruby but I did have some fun with it in the garden some time ago.

Hi Jim,

Good runner, Tony. It seems to run at a good speed without the need for RC. My Ruby used to fly off the track.

I don't know if it will help; over the years I have played with a number of Accucraft Rubies. As I was playing with them means there was something wrong with them, the ones I have seen in general were poorly made and put together; though after some tweaking they usually performed okay.

This might help you:-  https://youtu.be/m4dpa8dFpn8?si=pvyI5N3zNgaFII6S

Take care Tony.

After all the "work" you always seem to be doing in building the railways, it is good that you occasionally get to have a run and play on them too!

Hi,

A Mamod I modified was run again for the first time in many years on our model railway which was being exhibited at Llangollen.
