So, while teaching my grandmother to suck eggs, I assume that you've checked that the skates aren't too stiff ?

I'm not into skate - my railway is a skate-free zone, but the thought just passed through my head :nerd:

If anything the ones on the older Crock may be too slack, but the ones I have just changed were quite worn, so much so that at slow speed they would short out on the Piko curved points at the frog.
Guess at higher speeds the shorting didn't have time to trigger a shutdown.
Mind you the skate free idea is one to consider, at least on the bogie locos. I suppose the "hole" needs to be sealed to prevent ingress of debris.

Skates are a double-edged sword. Not nice to look at, can sometimes cause problems over points, but help to keep the track clean.

I don't have any choice, as I don't have any LGB or Piko locos :nerd: but I prefer no skates ..................... I think
