Re: Lyn - pickups

Paul - thanks for the NGRM link, I’ll follow with interest! You mentioned your Slaters Lyn kit was missing the side tank weights. These ?as supplied in the L&B Models original kit weighed 54g each; I know David Nicholson went to some lengths to get the loco’s balance right, so this weight might be a useful guide.
For the pickups on my Lyn I super-glued gapped pcb to the inwards sides of the forward and rear crossmembers, with phosphor-bronze wires soldered these and bearing on the upper tread of the driving wheels - photo attached. It’s not particularly pretty nor robust, but c’est brutal et c’est marché!
