cromptonnut Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 Ajax is one of my 'pet' hoovers - the last one I needed to tick off the class, spotted from a field and a half away thanks to large logo livery Might just have to add that one to my wants list...

RMweb Premium brushman47544 Posted August 21, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 21, 2015 "Ajax" was one of my favourites too, though the black roof and 46 in the headcode panel place it too late for my modeling era. But is it me or do the crest and nameplate look too far apart, although I can't tell from the picture whether the plate is too low or the crest too high. Also good to see Hornby has got the buffer beam colour correct on these; black on 46 but red on 24. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JSpencer Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 Just heard Vangaurd is on its way. This concludes all my 2014 items I had ordered. And I already recieved some items from the 2015 program. It will sound fitted when it arrives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSpencer Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 Is it just mine, or do the head code marker lights not work on this new series? I see on previous versions they did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NIRCLASS80 Posted October 1, 2015 Author Share Posted October 1, 2015 Is the working fan still in the 50's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birdseyecircus Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 The Headcode lights do work. I guess the contacts need pushing home a bit to make yours light up. Like the class 56 there is no working fan, but the body side vents still move. The body felt a bit stiff on removal as if there was sticky resistance.

JSpencer Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 Thanks - there are working vents on the body side? I will stripe my 50 down to see why it does not light up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JSpencer Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 The brass contacts for the head light markers are very soft. I pushed them out and now they work. Body is very easy to remove from this model, unplug two of the cab cables and then 4 clips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D400 Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 Interesting. Yet another new PCB design unless I've missed something. Does anyone know if this is NEM standard now with a common positive for us DCC folks? Bruce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone know if this is NEM standard now with a common positive for us DCC folks? Bruce That's a good question ! This board looks very similar to the one in the latest Inter-City 125 Power Car I suppose once one has a model to hand the led's could be checked to confirm if the common is + or - Edited October 5, 2015 by tractor_37260 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Hilux5972 Posted October 5, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 5, 2015 I'm glad to see they have got rid of the original 8+4 pin dcc socket. Never understood why they were only on the 50. You had to have the correct 8+4 pin blanking plug to run it on a DC layout, a regular 8 pin just wouldnt work. A shame they couldn't do what they have done with the top light on the new HST and had it connected via a plug and lead connection. Reliability and ease of removal.
