  1. Does anyone know of a way of getting replacement accessory packs for Bachmann Class 121?
  2. 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
  3. Thanks. Would this loco have been Unlined GWR Green? There doesn't appear to be a logo on the tender
  4. I have acquired thse photos of llanfyllin in 1925? I was wondering if there are any ideas of the loco Thanks
  5. 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
  6. 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.
  7. 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?
  8. Smoke box and Izzy, Thanks I'll have a check tomorrow, too cold in shed at the moment
  9. 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?
  10. I have just bought a 4mm Dapol Junction Signal from DVV Supplies which is being sold as Grade 2 for £18.00 inc Postage. There is no Servo box included. I have sorted it with two Tower (G servos, but, I cannot get the LED to light. On the bottom of the signal there are three contacts , one common and one each for each LED. Two possibilities, (possibly more) 1. They are broke 2. there are some gubbins in the servo box to reduce voltage from 12v I'm not too worried as I have already powered two single Dapol signals with a servo and fitted them with Modelu Signal lights containing 1mm LED, however it would be easier if I could power the existing LED, does anyone have any ideas?
  11. I want to try to build this signal from Llanfyllin, it was replaced by a bracket signal at some period during BR days for which I could use the Dapol signal. What could I use to build this massive post?
  12. S3189-2.pdf Regarding the attached Signal diagram and the ground signal labelled 3, does it control the entrance to the turnout labelled 8 or the one to the left going to the goods loop? I believe in the other direction signal 11 controls the entrance to facing point 8 S3189-2.pdf
