Many thanks for the quick reply! The wheels will eventually never get seen, as the station I've built hides them all with platforms, so I'll try swapping them out and see if that helps (I went for technic axels as it was just cheaper than buying wheel sets!) I'll also check the version number on my receiver, just in case that is a factor. I'm no electrical expert, but I did some mooching last night and it also seems the AMPS you get from a 9V is less than 6 x 1.5's - AND the different types of 9V (Alkaline or ZInc-Carbon etc) also give out different AMPS, so yours may well just be better batteries than mine. - I'll buy a nice Duracell instead of Tesco own brand! Thanks again, and as you know about the wheels I used, I guess you watched the video, so thanks for that too! Best wishes Jez

Hi ColletArrow, I just wondered if you had any trouble with power form the 9V battery that you wired into the train? I recently made a London Tube train and due to lack of space inside, I used a 9V battery like yours to power a PF Train Motor (see video below if you're interested) But I got very flaky results... it would drive for a bit but then slow down/stop. Did you have any power issues? Were you using a Train Motor or a regular PF motor which then drove train wheels on axels? Any help would be greatfully received, Cheers Jez.

Hi I'm a newbie, just doing a test post to see how images get displayed, so here's aa Cadbury tanker that I made... LEGO City style Cadbury tanker truck. by Minifig Jez, on Flickr Now lets see how that looks when posted! Newbie 2nd post... The Cadbury Tanker Flikr image worked well, so I'll now try a random image using the "choose files" button: Well, that's all just super !
