Trains4U Posted December 10, 2009 Author Share Posted December 10, 2009 could anyone tell me (with Photos) how to take off the body of a Ivatt 4MT? I can't do pictures straigt away, but there are two silver screws, high up inside each water tank (in the Bachmann model) in addition to the screw at each end of the chassis. these need emoving. the chassis should then drop straight out. This one had me stumped for a while first time around! I hope this helps Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Taylor Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 How feasible would it be to convert a Bachman j72 and V1? I assume they'd be hard wired which would be a usefull learning step for me for other P4 kit based projects. Cheers for any suggestions and ta for the J39 guide.

Steve I've already done a guide for the V1/V3 - I'll try and get that uploaded in the next few days, along with a few others that haven't made it across from the old forum yet.

Trains4U Posted January 31, 2010 Author Share Posted January 31, 2010 Thanks for all the useful guides published so far. Any chance of one for the Bachmann voyager units? Hi, The process for converting the voyager is almost identical to the class 170 (They use much the same system for the lights) If I get one in, I'll try and do a seperate guide, but the principles are the same. The only difference is in getting the bodies off. There are more screws on the voyager and a little effort is required to spread the bodyshell sides to release the chassis.

Beacon Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 Thanks. When mine arrives I'll have to give it a go. I still have a couple of 170s to do anyway! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

malcolmy Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 Hi, I have been looking for a guide on how to fit a chip in a Bachmann Std 4 2-6-4T. I can't even work out how to get the body off! I seem to recall a thread about it in the past, but I haven't mastered the search tools on here, and it may have been on the old forum anyway. Thanks in advance.

mr b Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 Question, if fitting a smoke unit ( N gauge, Union Mills ) will the Hornby decoder be able to cope ? The spare light wire will be used for switching on and off. Mr b Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Mr.S.corn78 Posted April 1, 2010 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 1, 2010 Question, if fitting a smoke unit ( N gauge, Union Mills ) will the Hornby decoder be able to cope ? The spare light wire will be used for switching on and off. Mr b Hi, you will need to see what the usage rating is for the smoke unit i.e. 160mA and the output rating from the decoder to see if it will work. I have used a Hornby decoder (100mA function output) before with a slueth 22 ( needs 160mA ) BUT it takes a long time for the smoke unit to warm up and start making smoke hope that helps cheers Simon 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMJ Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 When I get a chance I'll photograph the Mainline J72 that I have fitted with a chip. Split chassis that is easy to do. Take each of the holders for the brushes cut off the end that has the screw through use solder tag for the chassis wires at the screws brush holder has motor wires soldered on make a sandwich one for each brush holder brush holder then a piece of thin plastic sheet and ontop the solder tag Do the same for each brush holder Hide chip in cab!
