Baggies1961 Posted September 7, 2021 Author Share Posted September 7, 2021 Unfortunately when in transit from when Hornby Mag loaned it and from delivery the bogie side frames snapped off from the cross member front and rear. In hindsight I should not have glued them on as side frames have to be removed to get the body off. Looks like a call to Gaugemaster for spares.

I never take my bogie frames off, twist bogie one way, remove screw, twist other way, remove other screw regarding short, disconnect the pickup wires from the chip. If it still shorts it’s a bogie issues, reconnect pick ups if okay, disconnect the motor wires and lights. If then trips it’s the chip. If okay, reconnect one motor, if okay reconnect other motor, and finally, if still okay, reconnect the lights. It’s a good way to check a wire hasn’t popped out of the terminals and touching another terminal. Good luck 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baggies1961 Posted September 10, 2021 Author Share Posted September 10, 2021 Heard the tractor roar past the level crossing 100 yards from me, but missed it. Local facebook page showed just what the ‘roar’ was today. Would love Caroline in O gauge. Come on Revolution please upscale your OO version. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pwr Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 There may may be a kit - J and M Hughes have one listed. You'd need to contact them to see if it were available though. Paul R 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baggies1961 Posted September 13, 2021 Author Share Posted September 13, 2021 Just back today and sound fitted, soon to be 31421 Wigan Pier. Seems to be a popular choice as there are no name plates in stock at Shawplan, so must wait a few weeks. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baggies1961 Posted September 13, 2021 Author Share Posted September 13, 2021 A quick video of the 31. Apologies for the shaky right hand. Not sure why the lights are flickering? Update on the shorting issue I now think it could be a dodgy connecting lead to the NCE Power Cab handset. I bought a new one recently from Digitrains. Tested 37405 on the small diorama layout ‘builders yard’ and it worked OK. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect not, it will be down to the refresh rate of the LEDs and the frame rate of the recording, digital recording of LEDs often shows flickering, I have had it myself. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
