Thanks, pretty much what I am doing. I have all 16 running behind a pair of 92's, both 92's have additional weight added, the other thing I found, was packs 1 & 2 ran well almost out of the box, where packs 3 & 4 are taking a lot of work to get running well.
Think I will wait for the new parts now before continuing. I will keep them regardless as they are one of the main pieces of rolling stock for a new layout.

Hi Gang,

I may be forced to get the Mk5s out again on the test track to see if the stiffer ones are from specific sets as previously noted by some. It will be an excuse to admire them and have a further fiddle with the wheelsets and pickups!!

I wouldn't bother. All 4 of my sets have stiff wheelsets, I can't see any correlation between set numbers or coach types and stiffness, other than they're all stiff  ;)

I do hope that the TPE sets come "pre-fixed" though.

Is there any word on the TPE sets, anyone heard a whisper, there is nothing on the projects page.
I guess we may get a whisper or 2 from Warley.
