Thanks Iain, I have edited that to read DC

I have a couple of DCC loco which are really indifferent runners on track, is there a way to check pickups in DCC. Using DC I used to have two pieces of wire which I could touch to individual wheels to test. I have read that DCC loco should work with DC, but mine dont seem to want to. Any advice please?

I have 3 baseboards each is connected to the control panel by a 25 pin cable, this handles, signals, turnouts, lighting etc. I have an idea! Could I connect the DCC controller (Prodigy Express) and distribute the power yo each baseboard through the 25 pin cables? Or will passing it through 1 metre long cables degradation the signal?

I have discovered the decoder on my Hattons 58XX is a Zimo. (CV8-145) The engine will drive but I get no sound anymore. I cannot find a list of functions for this loco, and wondered if one is available. I have found a PDF about Zimo decoders, but, Its a but confusing. Newbie to DCC, I have other locos working well, but, this one wont

Hi can anyone help with this coach, L&Y in Ormskirk. Is it an Autocoach/PushPull unit.

Does anyone know of a way of getting replacement accessory packs for Bachmann Class 121?

Ive been researching and modelling this branch for over 10 years originally in P4 (I gave up as I didn't have the skills to ensure precise running) Now in OO. As well as Cambrian 0-6-0, I have photo of Cambrian 0-4-4. When GWR took over 517 were the usual loco, with Dean Goods and Tanat Valley2-4-0. Collett 58xx took over as the main workhorse then into BR with Ivatt Class 2 and 74xx. This is the first photo I've seen of Dean Good in Llanfyllin, others are photos from Oswestry

Thanks. Would this loco have been Unlined GWR Green? There doesn't appear to be a logo on the tender

I have acquired thse photos of llanfyllin in 1925? I was wondering if there are any ideas of the loco Thanks

Thanks I filed a couple of Vees in the weight and put a couple of drops of superglue to hold the 4 wires. That seemed to sort it. Whilst I have the cab roof off I need to paint up some crew and jobs a gud un

Is there a paint which will act as an insulation if I paint it on a chassis? I keep getting a short as the clearance is a tad tight.

I have a 58xx version of this loco, which stopped running, it is about 4 years old fso out of warranty. I followed another thread on here about dismantling and managed to getthe body off and dismantled the chassis. Great. Found a loose wire, resoldered back on and motor runs. However. Reassembling the thing has got me stumped. I cannot get the body to fit close up to the footplate........ I think it is possibly the wiring between the block weight and the body, but I can't see anyway else to run it. Has anyone any ideas?

Smoke box and Izzy, Thanks I'll have a check tomorrow, too cold in shed at the moment

I have a Prodigy Express . I havent used it for about 4 months as Ive been working on another board. Plugged it in today, I get a power light, but, nothing happens on the track. I checked the voltage on the track and I have 3.7 v AC. Im really confused as last time I used it I had 15 V. I also checked the voltage at the output from the hub and getting similar. Any idea what is wrong?
