So I tried to start the loco today and the f-ing aux volts (equivalent of a car alternator) didn;t come up!

So I have the joy of sorting that on Friday!

I suspect I know what it is, nothing a wooden cloths peg rammed in the right contactor wont sort.

Lol, very good, I suspect its a sticking Voltage Relay hence a cloths peg, might have a spare though so we will see.
