Krieghoff Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 (edited) Hi All. I'm wondering if anyone can help me here please. I have two Bachmann class 37's. One is the original club loco 'Ben Cruachan' that was my first ever club loco that I purchased. Unfortunately one of the oval buffers has broken and the oval buffer with the shaft and spring has gone !. Can anyone please point me in the right direction for a spare or spares please. I would appreciate this as the loco is in mint condition and my handling of it has caused this problem. Secondly I have another Bachmann locomotive 32-385 Intercity Livery, that has an interior cab LED that has failed. This is one of the earlier locos that had the LED surface mounted to the roof by push fit. I think later ones were screwed into the roof which would make replacing mush easier. My question to this one is................is there anywhere where I can send this loco to have another LED cab light fitted as per original or a replacement LED Many thanks for your advice is appreciated.

RMweb Gold Phil Bullock Posted May 24, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 24, 2020 Evening! Its frustrating when issues like this spoil your models isnt it. So for buffers.... how about https://railsofsheffield.com/products/14855/Bachmann-36-031-oo-gauge-oval-head-sprung-buffers-x8-?gclid=CjwKCAjwtqj2BRBYEiwAqfzurytKTU0D-exX5sMNnSL7AHaDFvsYd93x0BdAxMgJwkXsQ_rE7GZnLBoCBUcQAvD_BwE As for the LED - how about a photo so we can see if anyone has a spare lurking? I might have.... Cheers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold adb968008 Posted May 24, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 24, 2020 I’d take the chance at upgrade if those buffers, Peters Spares has Hornby Class 31 buffers.. much nicer. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Hornby-X9313-Class-31-Set-Of-4-Sprung-Oval-Buffers/324007447020?hash=item4b705949ec:g:OAAAAOSwxR1d7neq Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Phil Bullock Posted May 25, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 25, 2020 Cheers Are you up to fitting a replacement if I have one in my spares box? We have removed the lights from a lot of our locos.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krieghoff Posted May 25, 2020 Author Share Posted May 25, 2020 Hi Phil I am indeed. Ive spent that much time over the last few days because im stripping my locos down and servicing them all. Its taken me three days and ive got two Hornby class 31's that ive found have Mazak Rot. Im absolutely gutted to be honest. Ive tried to do some research on the Surface Mounted LED's Phil. Id appreciate that very much and of course if you have one or two spare id be more then happy to pay for them and the postage as well. Plus a drink for your time. michaelhudson07@btinternet.com 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
