  1. Hello, Has anyone who owns a Heljan Southern liveried Manning Wardle managed to fit the extra pipework that is included in the detail pack? I can see from photos of the prototype how it is meant to go but there does not seem to be any obvious way of securing it. The Heljan instructions don't show anything only about removing some lugs! Best wishes Colin
  2. Mine arrived in the post today. Very happy with it.
  3. Thanks Chris that's brilliant. I missed that earlier when skimming through the topic!
  4. Thanks Coachmann that makes sense.Best wishes Colin
  5. Would auto trains in BR days have run in a coach-loco-coach formation or would the loco only be between coaches if there was more than 2?
  6. Very impressive service from Ian today at Warley. I took my Hornby 08 with me to the show today to hand over to him to get it reblown with his sound. I expected to have it posted back to me within the next few weeks but when I handed it over he said to come back before the end of the show as he would have it done for me ready to take home! A big thankyou to Ian for the great service. Been running it tonight and it sounds amazing. Best wishes Colin
  7. Thanks for the answer. I thought that might be the case.Best wishes Colin
  8. Were any of the small praries 45xx, 4575 ever out shopped in unlined green like their larger counterparts?
  9. The third Garratt turned up and has run in for a full hour in both directions. No problems this time. Will do a longer sound video at some point when i get a chance. Best wishes. Colin
  10. As mines going back I liberated my fathers BR Garratt this afternoon as it works well. Im giving him my replacement loco. Heres my short video showing Howes Garratt sound: Cheers Colin
  11. Replacement arrived this morning. Ran on rolling roads for fifteen minutes the front motor stopped. Shame ive had the sound chip waiting for it for a few days. Best wishes Colin
  12. Thanks Brian. Hopefully the next garret should be ok. My dads run both his on my layout and both have been fine. Ive ordered a howes chip ready for its return as i have had quite a few from them in the past and they are normally good.i plan to do a video at some point. Best wishes Colin
  13. My garratt arrived yesterday while i was at work. I started to run it in on rolling roads and after ten minutes the rear motor stopped working so its on its way back to Hattons. Congratulations to Hattons on their customer service as they replied within half an hour with a parcel label to send it back. Looking forward to the replacement arriving. Outof interest has anyone fitted a howes sound chip.? Ive seen the olivia trains offering and wondered if anyone had compared them. Best wishes Colin
  14. A Br (w) 15xx and a 94xx would be quite nice. Or a 47xx
  15. I do indeed! Best wishes Colin
