ColinB Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 I would imagine the Fell project is done and they are moving onto the next project. So I doubt we will be seeing any updates to the model. If you are like me and just bought the model because it looked interesting rather that being desperate for that particular model, then I just treat it as lesson learnt. It was the first model bought off this company and probably the last. I moaned about the Hornby Hush Hush, but the Company realised it had messed up and improved the subsequent rebuilt versions that followed. I suppose though there is a huge difference in price between what I paid for the Fell and what a new Hornby model costs, so I suppose it comes down to you get what you paid for. If you want it to run better add a couple of Hornby Thompson bogies with pickups. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The advantage of FB is it is much more open, but I am getting to the point it's less and less worth wading through all the junk. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jitmen Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 On 07/11/2022 at 17:43, ColinB said: It is quite easy to get it apart, trouble is everything is held on by self tapping screws, even Hornby realised in the end that proper parallel thread screws are needed when screwing into metal. Fortunately the drivers cabs although glued on do not need to be removed, I only did it to make it easier for routing wires. No my issue is that the design looks rushed, they have used a plastic clip to hold the wire for the pickups in place but it is not really needed and means if you take the "base keeper plate" off , there is a more than even chance of snapping the thin wire. If they hadn't bothered you could remove the connector on the PCB for the pickups and that would give you enough room to pull the base keeper plate away from the bottom of the loco. I have even had the con rods get out of sync when the loco derailed. I think the issue is that the wheels are not held on that tightly by the splines on the axles so there is a tendency for them to move out of sync. How do you fix it when it’s out of sync, mines just done that ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
