Post by: poliss on September 04, 2011, 10:38:51 PM
Saw this on Ebay. Price has gone too high for me, but others may be interested.

Good item especially  if  you need to run in locos  for either  DC  or  before  installling DCC   i   have another makers  rolling  road saddles like these  & they are a boon when  running a loco in.  

If you enlarge  the pictures in the listing  in the second picture with the box open & look carefully you can  see the  price they should be new on the left half of the box.

It is important to follow the manufacturers instructions when running in. I run my new Farish locos on their own for the recommended 30 mins in each direction and this seems to do the trick as I haven't had any problems with any I've done this with in the last few years.
