A little while ago I had some friends round to run some trains, Graham B wanted to see one of my JLTRT 37s running. When I went to pick it up and put it on the track the delrin chain from 1 bogie fell off.
The loco was powered on both bogies so it still ran, but on close examination of the chain this is what I found.
Some paint has got on the chain, I can't remember how and it looks like halfords acrylic primer, but it has corroded the links if you enlarge the photo and look carefully at the links on the left you will see that the ends of the links have melted away.
So is it the paint or has something else go on the chain and has now gone ? Has anyone any ideas ?
In future I will be making sure that no paint gets on the delrin chain.
