  1. Used a battery to find out what each wire was. The centre contact was the common with the contact marked 'A' being the headlight and the other being the tail light. I've wired up the lighting as per the diagram for the plug (ESU, 21 pin Adapter Board) with A head and B tail wired to pin 8, A tail and B head to pin 7 and the common to pin 15. I don't get any lights though! I used a multimeter to test my wiring and I get a connection between the contacts and the corresponding connections on the plug so I'm thinking I may have missed something.
  2. I was at the SVR and picked up a Bachmann peak for £45 sold as running but no lights. After opening the body I found the circuit board had been ripped out with the previous owner wiring the pickups to the motor. I've since then wired up the motor and pick ups to a 21 pin plug and now I'm turning my attention to the lights. I've got three wires out of each end (brown,orange and black) and I don't know which is the headlight,taillight or common wire. It seems on some of the other Bachmann diesels they follow a similar code so does anyone know which is which?
  3. I've seen that Bulmers imported apples from France and transported them by rail from the docks to their plant. It seems initially they used HTO/HTV hoppers. I was wondering: 1) Was there a consistent number of wagons in each rake? 2) Were the hoppers covered or left open? 3) Any consistent motive power on the freights? I know later they used ferry wagons however this seems to be a little late for my interest (late 60s/early 70s). Thanks, Tim.
