Coppercap Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 13 hours ago, Invicta Informant said: I got some in Lined Crimson livery. The models come in packaging similar to Rapido's LNER Dynamometer Car. You must fit the couplings yourself and you are provided with four 'bar' style connectors (similar to what I have seen used on Hornby and Bachmann models of DMUs and EMUs), two shorter ones and two slightly longer ones. You also get one tension lock coupling with the brake carriages. The models have a nice weight to them, and have the look and feel of a quality product. The lighting in them is superb, with a working tail light on the brake carriages that lights up red, depending on the direction. Recommended. It looks rather like the bottom of the side is bowing in and out, comparing it to the solebar. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold The Johnster Posted February 21 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 21 Many thanks for that; a renumbering job is called for, not to mention more Hornbys. An intention is to buy at least one more anyway for the purpose of cut'n'shutting a C56 with my existing composite, which will leave a spare frame for another 57 footer, and you have just opened up the possibility of a 9' bogie version.

mi-go-a-go-go Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 I have bought a chocolate and cream brake. Just opened the accessories pack and only one coupling still going at the back so ok. So fitted it and placed in a rake with 2 Hornby 4 wheeler's. First circuit it de-coupled. Coupled it directly to the loco (older Bachmann pree nem) same Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mi-go-a-go-go Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Anyone else have this issue. 1 coupling and the hook on the opposite side. This is my first of the new age Dapol rolling stick so I may be noticing an old problem Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is my first of the new age Dapol rolling stick so I may be noticing an old problem Could it be possible, that the coupling itself was assembled in the wrong way? Looks like the plastic part of the coupling is upside down, so it should be turned around and the coupling hook fitted from the other side. 10 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is my first of the new age Dapol rolling stick so I may be noticing an old problem Just checked mine and confirm that the coupling hooks have been installed on the wrong side. You can remove the hook by pulling it upwards, while pushing up on its counterweight from below. Then turn the coupling body over and insert the hook the correct way. Am installing West Hill magnetic couplings for the connections in the rake. Am using the ultra close coupling version. Have noticed the coach rooves in the BR crimson livery, have different levels of matt/sheen finish. The brake and composite have the most sheen with the 2nd being least sheen. The BR composites don't have '1' door markings for the first class compartments. Were the declassified in BR days. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Al51 Posted February 23 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 23 Am I right by assuming that if you don't want any lights on at all, you can just remove the blanking plate from under the roof? Al Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steamport Southport Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Probably alright in normal light. The only coaches I've got with lights are a few Pullmans and the Coronation Scot. The problem with the lights is that you can see that they are unpopulated and really need figures. Unfortunately I don't think those cheap Chinese ones would look good enough. You might get away with them in compartment stock, but not with wide open windows where you can see the interior detail! Jason 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
