Hello Guys ! I finally found the time to work on my Bassett-Lowke LMS Duchess class 4-6-2 "Lady Patricia"... Opening the hatch - the previous owner had it fitted with Remote Control and Rail Sound modules : ![https://nsm09.casimages.com/img/2024/05/14//UKYgSb-Sound-and-Remote-circuit.jpg](https://nsm09.casimages.com/img/2024/05/14//UKYgSb-Sound-and-Remote-circuit.jpg) But he also toroughly preserved the original parts, so I removed all the stuff and could reinstate the locomotive in its original features - smoke unit, 2-3 rails operation. Test = OK, all works as expected : ![https://nsm09.casimages.com/img/2024/05/14//UKYgSb-return-to-original-circuit-and-test-ok.jpg](https://nsm09.casimages.com/img/2024/05/14//UKYgSb-return-to-original-circuit-and-test-ok.jpg) Maintenance = cleaning and greasing the gears, plus polishing the wheel rims from Black (original) to Silver - I personally find the look much more classy and attractive : ![https://nsm09.casimages.com/img/2024/05/14//VKYgSb-black-to-silver-rims.jpg](https://nsm09.casimages.com/img/2024/05/14//VKYgSb-black-to-silver-rims.jpg) Finishing the rewiring once tested successfully : ![https://nsm09.casimages.com/img/2024/05/14//VKYgSb-rewiring-finished.jpg](https://nsm09.casimages.com/img/2024/05/14//VKYgSb-rewiring-finished.jpg) Next step : complete reassembly of the lcomotive and final cleaning - to come ! What about the Remote Control and Rail Sounds ? After a validation test, I will install it in a modified/dedicated luggage coach, that will be hooked after any steam locomotive to add the sound feature, making it "universal"... Wait and See !

Continuation... I added a lest to the tender, which I found to be too light in weight : ![https://nsm09.casimages.com/img/2024/05/15//v3vhSb-lest-tender-230g-15-05-24.jpg](https://nsm09.casimages.com/img/2024/05/15//v3vhSb-lest-tender-230g-15-05-24.jpg) This is a rather large locomotive, measuring 530mm : ![https://nsm09.casimages.com/img/2024/05/15//ZAvhSb-Lady-Patricia-530mm-length.jpg](https://nsm09.casimages.com/img/2024/05/15//ZAvhSb-Lady-Patricia-530mm-length.jpg) Lady Patricia reassembled and finished, awaiting to run on track : ![https://nsm09.casimages.com/img/2024/05/15//u3vhSb-Lady-Patricia-finished-15-05-24.jpg](https://nsm09.casimages.com/img/2024/05/15//u3vhSb-Lady-Patricia-finished-15-05-24.jpg) Wait and See !

Finally, I could find a nice 2nd hand / affordable set of ACE "LMS Coronation" set of 3x 40cm coaches to run with Lady Patricia ![8-)](//storage.forums.net/forum/images/smiley/cool.png) : ![https://nsm09.casimages.com/img/2024/06/07//h0FpSb-le-set-B.jpg](https://nsm09.casimages.com/img/2024/06/07//h0FpSb-le-set-B.jpg) When I'll be able to install another provisional layout, I'll take pics and videos...

I never posted - oh, AFAIR, but I'm not sure, then my apologies ! ![:-/](//storage.forums.net/forum/images/smiley/undecided.png) - the finished "Lady Patricia" 4-6-2 LMS from Bassett-Lowke (UK) and her set of 45cm coaches from ACE Trains (UK), plus the custom rail sound car "La Diplomate", all in operation... Here's a short video : And another one, under Mrs. Tibou 's supervision : OACE
