OO Gauge Loco Inspection & Diagnostic Service

Think your OO Gauge loco needs more than a standard service? Let’s take a closer look. 

If your locomotive is a non-runner, running intermittently, or showing signs of a fault, this Inspection & Diagnostic service is the best place to start.

We’ll carry out a detailed assessment to identify the root cause of the issue -whether that’s electrical faults, worn components, drivetrain issues, or DCC-related problems.

Once complete, we’ll report back with our findings and provide a clear, no-obligation quote for any required repairs.

• Non-running locomotives
• Intermittent or poor running
• Electrical or wiring faults
• Gear or drivetrain issues
• DCC / decoder faults

Most minor repairs (such as wiring fixes or simple adjustments) are usually straightforward and low cost, while more complex issues will vary depending on the fault.

Not sure which service to choose?

If your loco is running but just needs a clean and oil, our Standard Service is the best option.

If it’s not running correctly or you suspect a fault, this Inspection & Diagnostic service ensures we can properly assess the issue before any work is carried out.
