Hornby now have service sheet 456 for the APT (NDM and DTS). It shows that the non-sound decoders can be fitted by removing two screws holding part of the underframe on each of these vehicles to gain access to the 8 pin decoder socket.

Found this image of a well loaded MHA near Avonmouth in 2018. Plenty of vegetation growing in it. This wagon does not have the pipe(s) running along the sole bar.

It seems quite easy to modify the lighting arrangement on the 86/0. I am using a Zimo MX638D with direction of loco movement changed in CV29. On the PCB. Remove the plug from CN7 on fit into CN8. CN8 is the spare socket in the middle between those for the lights and pickups. These are nearest the bulkhead of the cab moulding. F0 the operates Head and Tail directionally. F2 operates Head lights only (number 2 end). F4 operates Tail lights only (number 2 end).

A long time ago, the flexible track used to sold in Steel, Brass or Nickle Silver options. The codes were:~ SL100S Steel (S) SL100B Brass (B) SL100X Nickle Silver (NS) While flexible track was available as above, points and crossings were just NS hence the 'X'. After Brass and Steel were dropped the 'X' part of the poduct code was dropped. Graham
