Wow wow wow. The replacement front step arrived this morning. That’s the next day from sending Cavalex the request as was suggested. What after sales service. Luckily I sent a picture showing where it was missing from and the correct step has been sent. I did not realise they are a left and right item. Loco is now 100% Thanks to the Cavalex people in here for the help. Cheers all

Hi missing step, on the left under buffer looking at the picture. You can see the one on the right side right of the buffer Its in black on this large logo and it would be in red on the other large logo model. Hope this helped Thanks

Yeah I had a good look in the box and the foam Wayne, sadly no joy. Cheers

Hi folks, bit of a long shot this. After weeks of running my large logo 56120, I noticed I am missing the front step under the buffer beam. I made a video that I posted on my you tube channel almost as soon as I got the model and I can see it was missing from the start. hoping someone from Cavalex in here could maybe tell me if there's a chance I could get this small part. (and no I don't have a 3d printer) Thanks all

CV63 default = 192

Spent all the afternoon playing with my large logo 56 on Torridon Road and I am delighted with it. My Movie.mp4

Ok delivered this morning, nice and secured in its box, no loose bits. Looking stunning to me. Run in, details fitted and driver fitted. As a buying experience at buying a model, this has been a great one, as all has gone to plan and is now happily running around Torridon Road. Expect to see it on my YouTube channel soon. As far as I'm concerned ....... Great job Cavalex

To Cavalex in here. Will be wanting to fit a driver as soon as mine comes. Can you tell me if it's straightforward to get to the drivers seat? Thanks

At 22 mins into the video you can see what's needed. The only difference is that I took the weights of this motor to clearly show what I did.

Ahh well so finally it happened with 37608 Andromeda after 3 months of ownership and running on and off, the only one of the three I bought at the same time developed a motor fault. Watching it surging and looking at the volt meter spiking. Same as the other two now. So that's all the three I bought. A case of opening up the motor (no need to take the weights of the end) there is just enough room to get in there and clean out the gaps between the plates on the commutator. A lot of muck removed, motor closed back up, all put back together and running sweet till the next time.

Well I guess the next question is...does anyone know how to strip the 37s down to get to the motor? That exploded parts diagram in the paperwork is to confusing to me. No I'm not going to send them back. I have the latest 3 models and have this issue on the two DRS versions of them The ROG model is still working fine (for now). In the past on other makes of models it all boiled down to the motor (including a Hattons 66) which when replaced has been fine ever since. Cheers

If you note in the cab of 66762 on the left lane, I give you a fine prime figure of Fred the GBRf driver

Thanks very much

Hi people anyone know of a replacement motor that can be used in Bachmann class 66s and even class 37 Had to many fail on me under DCC.
