      Best decoder for a Bachmann Pannier tank

  2. I am planning to convert an older Bachmann Pannier Tank to DCC, I am not sure if there is a certain type of DCC chip I should use as there is not much room for fitting it in. The other loco's I have chipped uses Hornby 8249 decoders. Would appreciate any help on this topic. Derek
  3. Thanks very much I DCC chipped it so I wanted to make sure nothing would happen when I switched magnets
  4. I have a very old Wrenn 2-6-4t loco with a vertical motor, I would like to replace the magnet with a new one as I have no way to recharge the magnet. So I would like to know if it matters which way the magnet goes in (ie N towards the motor or South towards motor? Thanks Derek
  5. Does anyone know if they make a Ringfield 5 pole upgrade motor for a Hornby 3 pole loco driven, I see they have a tender one but have not seen a loco driven yet Thanks
  6. I added tender pickups and wired them as you suggested and I am very happy with the outcome the tender pickups make the world of difference

     

    Thank You

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

  7. I have a 4-6-2 loco that I have fitted a DCC chip to but I also wanted to add tender pickups, not sure if the 2 wires should go to the chip or the motor or both your help would be appreciated. Derek
  8. Thanks Guys it seems like no body produces them in 00 scale I think I will have to look at plastic or buy a Hornby loco body to get them
  9. Can anyone tell me what type of buffers were used on the A4 mallard. I'm looking for some in 00 scale sprung buffers prefer metal over plastic. Thanks Derek
  10. Thank's I did google it and chose a shade that looked very good.
  11. Can anyone tell me what the RGB values are to match Railmatch 207 there is no way of ordering paint from UK as they won't ship it. I can find someone over hear that would match it. Thanks Derek
  12. Can anyone tell me if all 2-6-4t buffers were oval or did any have round buffers like the 2-6-2 and if they did, What size were they as I would presume they would be larger to avoid buffer locking. Thanks Derek
  13. Thanks for replying, I live in Canada and managed to get a bottle of Railmatch Acrylic BR Blue but I did not like the results (came out way to dark.) I had an old bottle of Enamel Railmatch BR Blue which I am now trying to match. Most hobby shops in Canada do not carry British railway colours and what hobby shops are left do not have scanners. I have 2 loco's ready and primed but no paint. I have tried to find out who would ship it for me but with no success. Derek Winnipeg Canada
  14. Trying to find a paint that matches Railmatch 321 1950's experimental blue or rail blue Railmatch or Pheonix do not ship overseas so I'm hoping to find another brand that would be close any help would be appreciated. Thanks Derek
