  1. scottystitch, If you can find a copy of the February 2020 edition of the Hornby Magazine there is a write up by Paul Chetter on how to fit sound to the Heljan L&B 2-6-2T Roundhouse, Apologies for taking your thread off topic again. Br, Gordon_D
  2. Looks that video was good find, it even had some footage of the station you are modeling, useful for the scenery etc. It's progressing well.
  3. At this rate, we will be running more excursions than 'normal' trains on Banbury.
  4. If I bring mine along this weekend, we can have 2 running on Santa Barbara. Gordon_D
  5. "Will now have to build a WCML layout to run them on!" yep, Gordon_D
  6. "If Gordon has his sound fitted class 40 with home we may well be seeing it again on railtour duty" - yep, it's still in my stock box from last weekend, so will be on duty again if required. Gordon D
  7. "Hopefully we will have Pendolino drags by then!" - Oh yes!!
  8. John, It might be a failled circuit board, or it could be that one of the 2 brass strips that run from the circuit board to the motor is out of adjustment. If you remove the circuit board, it's possible to bend them in a small amount so to make a better contact on the motor. Hope this solves the issue, if not, try farish for a spare, or sometimes they are on ebay. Gordon
  9. "They are Gordons 66's and 60 with sound. I know he has Youchoos Zimo decoders and sugar cube speaker in some if not all of them." Almost correct, they do have zimo sound decoders (MX648) and sugar cube speakers, but they are are loaded with Digitrains Activedrive sound files. Gordon_D.
  10. Ian, Mine were waiting for me on my return from Madrid last night. If I have time to un-box and put them into my stock box, I will bring them along on Saturday, Gordon_D
  11. Graham, I expect by now you have installed it, but I was thinking of a Loco stabling / refuelling area along the same lines as the one you had on Smithdown Rd Junction.
  12. Graham, Looking good, it just needs a small loco stable/service area, maybe develop that small siding off the return loop Regards, Gordon
  13. Dapol have a full page advert in the latest copy of the N Gauge Journal (1/16) advertising that 4 versions (BR Black late crest, Malachite lined green, BR black small early crest and Manusal Green) of the Schools class will be released during January / February. So I would say they are just about to leave the factory or might even be on the boat. Regards, Gordon_D
  14. Ian, Don't forget to take a look at that point that failed last time out, it might need a new tie bar. See you Saturday. Regards, Gordon D
  15. Ian, Hope to be there before 09.00, subject to no ferry delays. Gordon D
  16. Paul, Any chance of some pictures of the installation? or will it be published in a later issue of the Hornby Magazine? Regards, Gordon D
  17. Phil, Very good. BTW, that class 66 (66135) that was shorting out, the motor failled, and took the chip with it. A new motor and chip, and it's running again. Gordon
  18. Ian, "EMpty Banbury our of the car (where it has been since the wekend)." If your garage is full up with your other layouts, and you now have to store Banbury in your car, as I said on Sunday, you’re more than welcome to store Banbury at my place. Looks like a late night Regards, Gordon
  19. Nigel, Thanks for your explanation I can now understand why these functions behave the way they do. No problem, just need to remember to turn off the function and turn it on again, or toggle them when I return to loco to the track. Thanks, Gordon
  20. Hi Ken, Yes, it looks like the same issue. Given that we are both seeing this problem when using Swiss mapping , looks like it must be a ’ feature’, one I can live with given the flexibility it gives you. Hopefully Paul will be alone soon to confirm if it’s operating correctly or not. Regards, Gordon
