Class M7 0-4-4T By Dapol N - Gauge Review

The 2006 release of the M7 comes under review. Are they worth the cost or should you wait for the newer models?

The Dapol GWR 14xx have these kind of problems too of being too light and barely managing 2 coaches

The rear bogie has pickups also. So all wheels should pickup - the bogie unclips, so check backs of wheels, the wiper contacts on to them, and the wiper contacts that take power to the chassis above - I've be willing to bet one or more is not making contact and needs slight adjustment.

So your telling me this thing doesn’t work correctly . Dammn

The old M7 locos need a resistive controller. The motor doesn't give enough feedback for a feedback controller to regulate the speed properly. I had the original Welsh made version and it ran perfectly. You've got the Chinese made versions, they always play up.
