RMweb Gold BMS Posted May 14, 2010 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 14, 2010 Is it possible to do a guide on fitting a Digitrails DCC lighting system to a Pullman of the recent but unlit category? (Obviously includes fitting pickups and fitting the decoder. Would make the pullmans one up by being able to turn the lighting on and off! NOT including table lamps!

Trains4U Posted May 14, 2010 Author Share Posted May 14, 2010 Digitrails DCC lighting system I'm afraid I've never heard of Digirails Lighting kits. But if you have a carriage, and a lighting kit to send to me, I'll give it a bash. (Subject to a reasonable fitting fee) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GaryHN Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 Hi Gareth, Just ordered a Howes chip for my Superb 150 from some nice shop in Peterborough, Could you please do a guide how to fit sound into one of them?? Regards Gary In Tas! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trains4U Posted May 27, 2010 Author Share Posted May 27, 2010 Sure, I've got some more to do so I'll phot one It takes about 10 minutes, but you need a 20x40 speaker to go inside. Hopefully the howes chip will have this, all of our 150 sound chips have these as standard. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
R.Langley Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 Hello, I am in the process of updating my engines, DMUs, EMUs to DCC, could you possibly do a guide for fitting decoders to the Bachmann Voyager (220). I believe they do not have sockets in them. Thanks. Richard Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMJ Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 I don't have any 220's but looking on the exploded diagram on Bachy website http://www.Bachmann.co.uk/pdfs/32-600.pdf it looks like the wires from the track are fed into a PCB on top of the motor. There will also be a pair of wires from this to the motor. If this PCB is similar to other Bachmann ones then if you find the wires for the right & left rails removed from PCB and then connect to the red & black on the chip. The motor then needs feeding from the orange & grey wires on the chip. Often best to remove PCB. More complex if there is any wiring for lights.

RMweb Premium 7013 Posted September 23, 2010 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 23, 2010 Hi Gareth Have you ever chipped a Hornby Pug? I know room is at a premium to say the least, I would like to have a go but wondered if anyone had already done it and if so were there any particular problems other than space. Thanks.

panniertank Posted October 23, 2010 Share Posted October 23, 2010 Hi. I have the same problem............after speaking to a local retailer, he tells me the early [Bachmann] class 28xx 's are prone to this fault, the reason being all the gearing in the tender drive is made from cheap ansd nasty plastic [typical chink rubbish] so mine, like yours will need a visit to your local 'repairs depot'. Im doubly annoyed because my loco was bought for me by an ex g/f, so it has sentimental value, and the fact I doubt it ran more than 7 hours in use and was stored for at least 6 years ! Hi Gareth Any advice on removing the tender top from the chassis on a Hornby 28xx? Or should I be posting this in the help section? Once I have done this I can think about chipping it.....right now the engine buzzes but the wheels dont turn and I cant get inside to see what the problem may be.

Kelly Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 The Bachmann N 2-6-0 does NOT have a split chassis ! Ian Is that true for all releases of it? I was sure for some reason it had one, must be my infernal memory again (that and the item is 10 miles away). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
34theletterbetweenB&D Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 Very sure. The Bachmann N was one of the lead introductions in their Blue Riband range which are all conventional wiper pick up.

DJH584 Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 Gareth I'm sure that you had a post relating to the conversion of a Bachmann A4 split chassis. That post does not appear to exist anymore. Would there be any chance of repeating it? Regards David Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeff mcghie Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 Any chance of a farish 20? Can't find a guide for it anywhere, just lots saying its 'different' from the standard farish diesels. Cheers Jeff. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
