Ħal-Zuzzu Model Railway

The infamous Class 142 Pacer is back on the workbench! In this episode of Ħal-Zuzzu Model Railway, we are tackling a frustrating but common issue: completely dead front directional lights.

Whether you love or hate the real-life "bus on wheels," there’s no denying that a model Pacer looks fantastic running around a layout—but only if the lights actually work! Join me as I open up this model, diagnose exactly why the front lights went dark, and walk you through the step-by-step fix to get them shining bright again.

In this episode, I tackle a frustrating intermittent electrical fault on an EWS Class 66. One moment, everything works fine; the next, the lights flicker, the motor cuts out, or functions stop responding. After hours of tracing loose connections, dry solder joints, and hidden shorts, it became clear that patching things up wasn't going to cut it. Watch as I strip out the original wiring loom, identify the root causes of the intermittent behaviour, and completely rewire the locomotive from scratch.
