  1. I wonder if someone may be able to assist me with a couple of Niggles with my two 37s. Firstly on my 37043 (sound fitted) I need to reduce the brightness on the dash lights and my thinking is that seeing that they are on a separate function I must be able to be adjusted by a CV setting. Secondly my 37027 on analog. I’m finding that the marker and headlights are not illuminating until the power is turned up to at least 30% and are off before the loco comes to a stop , Strange? I have also had on a rare occasion where the cab light on the leading cab flashes like a disco light. And finally if I bring the loco to an abrupt stop all the marker lights on both ends illuminate. again strange. I fully understand that sometimes things can and do go wrong but I wondered if I am the only one to have this problem. thanks in advance.
  2. You are correct Andy. I took the motor out as it needs to be completely free running as I intend to just add it when double heading. On the plus side because it’s an old Lima there is plenty of room for an EM2.
  3. Many thanks for the help I will source some bigger resistors.
  4. Goodevening I’m in the process of making a dummy class 27 with sound using a 21 pin socket. The question is can I fool the decoder to make it think that motor is connected so I can reprogram it. I have tried using some resistors but they get red hot to the point that the solder melts on the connections to said resistors. I have put a meter across an old Hornby hst motor and that was around 80 ohms resistance. thanks in advance.
  5. Thank you all so very much for the information. My apologies for the late response.
  6. Goodevening. I have recently found a link to a triple grey class 08 at Edinburgh station. I’m trying to find some more info on this 08 including what the number is. I found out that it was roughly late 80s to early 90s https://www.rcts.org.uk/features/archive/search.htm?class=08&srch= Thanks mick
  7. I’m n the process of taking some Bachmann mk2 aircons and reworking them as a set of Scotrail push pull rake. I’m after some info maybe pictures of the interiors . I have searched the web without any success. I would of thought that they would of been blue in 2nd and maybe orange like the mk3s but and info would be greatful. Thanks in advance
  8. As previously mentioned they were used on the diverts when Ipswich tunnel was closed. I have a pic somewhere and will try and dig it out.
  9. Maybe you would consider doing the two that were based at Inverness. They were the ones with highland stags.
  10. Can any one who has used lazerglaze on a Hornby mk 3 tso tell me if the the small toilet windows are included in the kit? Or do I need to keep them back. Thanks in advance. Mick
  11. Can anyone point in the direction of a supplier of round buffers for a Bachmann class 37. I need to swap them out from oval to round. I believe they are 3.77mm wide. I would prefer metal ones if possible. Thanks in advance Mick
  12. hi alex / got my email last night and its all paid for. thanks for your assistance.
  13. Afternoon. Can someone please confirm that the orders are being processed in order that were received. I ask because a friend has already received his and he ordered his before me. I did receive both emails regarding the new data protection. Thanks in advance Mick
  14. I must congratulate railtech again. With in three days of requesting some decals of a specific type Steve had them done for me. Top marks yet again.
  15. Loved seeing the layout on Friday. It was great to see it in its reincarnated design. I must also say thanks for the wee chat with you to.
  16. I must congratulate the organisers for another cracking show, ,loved Aberdeen Kirkwall and even managed a bargain from rails. Managed to get a Waverley for a friend and one for myself. Just one obersvation and in no way an criticism was that model rail magazine were absent. But I’m guessing it’s a long way to come for them all. Already looking forward to next year.
  17. Thanks Archie. I’m looking forward to the show.
  18. I am looking. Forward toa going but curious. How busy is Friday? Thanks
