Baggies1961 Posted June 19, 2021 Author Share Posted June 19, 2021 Hoping someone can help, does anyone know of any 1/43 scale or near to O gauge, modernish, British military vehicles kits e.g. Spartan that are available. This would sit nicely on the Warwell Thanks in advance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hattons seem to have them quite often Paul R 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

brossard Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 Hi Julian. I have a question about your Class 20(s). I believe you had the sound system installed by Digitrains. A very good choice given my difficulties. I have been documenting my tribulations here: https://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/4546-Heljan-7mm-class-20/ My question is whether the fan works. Paul C has been kind enough to respond to most of my posts and he says that the fan needs some sort of circuit to operate. If your fan is working, I reckon that Digitrains must have performed some kind of magic and will contact them. If not, I am not all that bothered, it is not a critical function after all.

Baggies1961 Posted July 3, 2021 Author Share Posted July 3, 2021 Hi John, Hope all is well with you. Apologies for late reply honest answer I dont know I have never had them on, after breakfast I will fire them up and check. I have not done much recently on the layout, been really busy at work during the day and goosed on a night! Need to pull my finger out and get my mojo back asap. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
brossard Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 (edited) Ah thanks. I will stand by for your answer re: the fan. I too have been plagued by lack of mojo but it seems to be returning. I picked up the 20 to work on it for the first time in weeks. Everything bar the fan now works. I am hopeful that things will turn around. I had two friends round yesterday and we had a great time shunting trains. Not a single derailment and everything works, really chuffed. A video even came out of it. I coined a name for our little group - Montreal British 0 Gauge Society or MBOGS. John Edited July 3, 2021 by brossard 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baggies1961 Posted July 4, 2021 Author Share Posted July 4, 2021 Apologies yet again John best laid plans of mice and men…. Saturday Two Granddaughters arrived for the day….. day gone… I will do it today as now I am interested in the fan, does it work or doesn't it?? 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
brossard Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 (edited) Ha ha. That's the good life isn't it? Yes, curious as to whether your Cl20 fan works. We both have the same setup and it apparently isn't straightforward. I just heard from Paul Chetter that he has something in the works.

Baggies1961 Posted July 4, 2021 Author Share Posted July 4, 2021 The ‘dynamic duo’ collect a couple of repaired HAA’s and prepare to depart. Both engines purring away just struggling to get the brake lights to work on 118. I know the guard has forgotten the tail light! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
