Krockodil

[Philbahn]

Everr since I bought my krock (MTS ready) it has never pulled properly.
At first it had mk 1 chips, which made it run away down hills. Arcadia replaced them when I complained putting Mk2 55021 in.
I was wondering if taking the two chipps out and replacing with an MTS 3 would make any difference.
I put it on a rolling road and noticed the bogies were rotating at slightly different speeds , one loosing a 1/4 turn on each rotation.
So out came the MTS 3. Now fitted the old girl has plenty of power pulling or pushing 4 coaches up my hills

Yes a mate had one and was very disappointed until we removed the 55020's that turned from a Krock into a Krokodil fit for the RhB
The motors are good but those early chips are appalling to factory fit like they did without any attempt at speed matching.

Well at least I've sorted it out now
As a bonus theres less graunching from the loco on the track
