Do Markits/Romford provide any sprung, brass buffers for 4mm Class 37s? I know they provide round 22" buffers, but I am struggling to find oval. I understand the prototype dimensions for class 37 oval buffers to be 21.5" x 14". If Markits do not, who else provide a high-quality 4mm sprung oval loco buffer for Class 37s? The closest I could find was:

Hi, thank you for your post. It has definitely not been ran for 3 years!

Hi, Do you have a particularly spray in mind which is good? Yes it is an old model (circa 2006 I think). What level of granularity of "re-assembly" are we talking? (I can't say I have ever stripped a loco before). As in, could you give an idea what components you would take apart? Just so I don't take apart too many! Would you say this video (below) would help?

I am after the body (or loco without sound) from class 37 (Bachmann 32-376DS) 37693 (photo below) and Railfreight OCA, BAA and SPA wagons.

I have an older Bachmann 66 analogue but 8-pin which sounds very unwell. In one direction it's a little loud and moves slow (I'd guess 40% of top speed) and in the other direction is is very loud and moves even slower (20%?). In the second direction it sounds like a lawnmower! Not a screech, but just a general loud..... grinding? noise. As a layman my best guess would be some sort of cog/gear/something-with-teeth has blunt teeth and they are not interfacing with the other cog/gear as efficiently as they should, causing the loud noise, with little movement. However, this is just a guess. I was wondering if people could give an idea what I could do/check?

May I ask what buffers you settled upon, in the end?

Really appreciate this! Just have a few questions: -Why doesn't #205 allow setting things up on a layout or programming track, if the only difference is it is made from metal, so you mean because it conducts? -You mention the 20s: is the only difference between 20, 21..... etc the length? They just keep getting longer? -Are #246 and #256 needed for #141, not for #146?

I forget a lot of people use flexi track, I was thinking 1st/2nd/3rd radius, i.e. standardized (which isn't true).

I own the usual British wagons for the 80s: Bachmann: TTA, MFA, BAA, OCA, BDA, SSA Hornby: Seacow, ZBA, ZCV, ZGV FTG: SPA but I'm completely unsure what Kadee product numbers I require. Has anyone made a table detailing which Kadee product number is best for the popular British wagons? Would it worth using this post to create a table so other people can use it as a reference (I'm free for moderators to edit my post with new data). I'm not sure if you'd need two suggestions, one for tightest radius and one for normal. If not, could anyone with knowledge on Kadee couplings please recommend which ones I would require? Thanks in advance,

Hope you don't mind I have a few questions: 1. Brush or Crewe-built: surely this isn't an actual difference, it just explains some of the aforementioned differences? 2. Are battery boxes completely different to fuel tanks ? I understand there are 3 fuel tank arrangements- does this mean I have no more to learn regarding battery boxes? 3. Could you please elaborate upon Boiler Port Variations and Marker Light Position? The rest of your list I have a good understanding of.

Yeah, I found another photo where you could clearly see the "missing" component. Are there any more tank configurations I missed above/has Bachmann covered most of them across those three models?

After a Bachmann 31-650Z "Windsor Castle" 47835 body

Ah, is this a "cut away" buffer beam? There is no protruding part immediately-below the yellow frontage?

Hi, I have checked flush/ends and fuel tanks, I was just struggling to see the difference between a cut-through beam (and a non-cut through)? Regarding fuel tanks, I found Bachmann provide three different configurations (sorry I don't know the different names) across their 47 models (see images below). Are there any more?

Hi, thanks for your reply. Could you possibly elaborate on this? I'm not entirely sure exactly what you mean. Could you show a photo?

Anyone?

After Bachmann Railfreight BAA wagons

After the body from Bachmann 32-376DS Class 37 Railfreight (no red stripe) photo below. Will take chassis too but only without sound.

I did consider this wasn't the best time, but if I don't mention it now, I will forget. And it doesn't have to be actioned now. Retailers post in their own forums because currently that's the natural place to post. However, if they were asked to post them in a "limited edition" sub-forum then I assume they would. It makes no sense forcing users to keep checking 5/6 different retailer sub forums for limited editions, when we could just check one sub forum. I don't purchase limited editions due to the retailer, just the product, so there's no rationale for forcing me to visit the retailer's sub forum. I wouldn't be surprised if a advertising a commission in a "limited editions" sub-forum received more views than if it had been posted in the retailer's sub-forum. The rule to selling is make life easy for your customer. Why make me visit lots of different sub forums, when I can check one place for new commissions?

(Please consider after server migration) Rather than each retailer put their commissioned limited editions in various retailer sub forums, could we have a sub forum dedicated to commissioned limited edition products? It makes keeping an eye out for such products much easier than visiting every retailer sub forum.

Don't think the "Wanted" forum is working, I can't see a button to post a new thread?

I have found a few class 47s (sector livery) I would like to model but they had only one flush end. Given the Bachmann 47 cab end is part of the moulding/not replacable, what is the best Bachmann donor to model these? All the Bachmann 47 models i find seem to have no flush ends, or both ("Pectinidae"), never just one.

Apologies for terminology, but with Bachmann class 47, are the cabin "ends" (the yellow flush/non-flush face) replaceable?

Apologies, but could someone answer this? Thanks (in advance)
