Why is it I have a inkling that Bachmann may just announce another D11 next year in LNER green...? I've only just bought the Model Rail Marne model...!! At the end of the day though I know where you're coming from the LNER Green livery... I sometimes wonder if the £40.74 difference is really worth it...?

I sometimes wonder if the £40.74 difference is really worth it...? To be quite honest I'm yet to be convinced that the planned D11/2 in LNER green production slot wasn't sacrificed in favour of a potentially more commerically lucrative Ltd Ed D11 version for Model Rail.

Garethp8873 Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 Finally unboxed my two LNER D11s last weekend. After giving them both a run, I let them run with six Hornby LNER Teaks. Very good runners and look great with beautiful liveries to compliment them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob M Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Hi I'm a new member of RMweb. I've just purchased a Bachmann D11/2. This comes with a wide range of detailing parts. Not all of them are explained in the instructions. Even the ones that are shown it is not clear how they fit. For example the gaurd irons. Is a spot of superglue needed, or am I missing something? Ditto the rather superb three link coupling? The loco has vac pipes fitted but also has additional ones to fit that hang down. As a mainly 009 modeller, I'm used to kits and scratch building. I don't often buy RTR so not sure what is normal. This is a superbly detailed model and very good value too. The only fault is the rather vague instructional diagram.

Theakerr Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 I used SG on both the items you mention. Watch the guard irons if you have tight curves, I seem to remember somewhere in this or another thread that they can fowl the front bogie. The second pipe is the steam heating pipe.

Bob M Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 Thanks I have some 18inch curves on hidden sections, so I will check clearances. I will be taking the front coupling off and replacing with the three link. Do the various shovels and irons go in a particular place, or should I just use my initiative? And what are the other parts? It runs beautifully and looks the part on the front of a set of Gresley coaches. Bob Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theakerr Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Has anyone replaced the motor? From day one my loco has noticeably slowed down on very minor gradients and on the entrance into curves. This phenomena becomes worse as the load increases effectively limiting it to a four coach load. The phenomena decreases as the speed increases, i.e. the voltage (HP) increases. I have lived with this problem since I purchased the loco because it is rather nice and I have renamed it as BR Butler Henderson for sentimental reasons. However, due to some changes this problem is no longer acceptable. I am using a four controller Guagemaster panel unit that does not have feedback, but I have tried running with a feedback unit with only a very minor improvement. I have a very vague memory saying that it was supposed to be a 5 pole motor but some or all the early ones came out with a 3 pole motor. As I understand it a 5 pole would have more torque. Hence my question. FYI I am running DC Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hence my question. FYI I am running DC I expect it's fairly straightforward getting a replacement motor from Bachmann. Have you tried running the chassis without the body attached to establish whether there is a problem with binding somewhere? If you haven't already I would take a good look at the chassis, pickups and gears whilst the body is off, perhaps there's a build up of old grease around the gears?

Theakerr Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 Thats a good idea to run it without the body. Will give it a try. Based on past experience with Bachmann I would not envisage any probalems getting a new motor but if it is a 3 pole I will potentially have the same problem.
