Phil47gwr Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 Hi, I've just taken possession of Hornby's Tyseley Connection (bargain from Rails of Sheffield) and the loco, Pitchford Hall, has a plug-in connection between loco and tender. This is new to me though I can see why it might be a good idea to aid smooth running. Hornby recommend a special tool, X6468, but I wondered if this is necessary. I would be glad of anyone sharing their experience of this type of connector. I also intend to fit a Lenz decoder - looks straightforward on paper? Is it? TIA PS Lovely model.

chriscleveland Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 Hi I have several models with the plugs from Hornby stock I don't use the tools but tweezers seem to do the job and sometimes a small flat blade screwdriver on the sides to carefully leaver the plug back out then tweezers again Hope this helps Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil47gwr Posted November 15, 2015 Author Share Posted November 15, 2015 Thanks. Took a look at the Hornby tool and, as you imply, it's just as pair of tweezers with hooked ends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chriscleveland Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 It's always a bit tricky to take out but with a steady hand and patience it will pop out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
