Rob:
I had planned that St Mary Ax would be accessible to the older trains but I've given up on that. The ancient points were beginning to offend my eye, and I wanted Electrofrogs. Anyway, most of the older stock is starting to run like your Princess.

Guess what, my Princess has been running superbly for the past year or so ! It's sure been repaired a lot, it has a new chassis but its original motor. What really improved its running was adding some weights inside it -- once I did that, it runs really well. Unfortunately, it's a little noisy.

My Dublo locos run very well, almost as good as new locos. However, some of my Triang locos (from the early/mid-60s) are probably the most frustrating in that you can't run them slowly or smoothly.
