d winpenny Posted October 23, 2012 Author Share Posted October 23, 2012 It's alive after a suprisingly simple spot of fettling I managed to get my class 150 and class 56 pottering about on the main scenic boards on the layout and all the lights and points working thanks to my better half paying for 2 gaugemaster wm1 power supply's for our anniversary hopefully some pictures to follow David Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

49395 Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 Glad to see you've got it up and running. It looks like one of the station lights has taken a bit of a pounding, if you need another lamp head, I mounted the lamp part of one of these onto a brass post, after drilling the bottom of the cast lamp http://www.knightwing.co.uk/cgi-bin/commerce.cgi?cart_id=1350991713.228&product=OO-HO_Lineside_Kits&pid=65 (A knightwing B001 lamp, at least I think it was one of those, its definitely knightwing) The whitemetal posts weren't durable or straight enough...

d winpenny Posted November 8, 2012 Author Share Posted November 8, 2012 Had a proper look tonight and it appears that the wheels are black bright so I am going to get fibreglass brush and set about cleaning the wheels and hope that solves the problem can't believe I didn't think of this to begin with, managed to fit a chip to my class 58 today and got my other locos out so hopefully I will get chance to run some trains over the next couple of days and get some pictures David Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
d winpenny Posted November 22, 2012 Author Share Posted November 22, 2012 After a spate of looking at railway pictures from my local area I have decided so reallocation is in order I am going to sell my recently purchased class 58 and replace it with either a Ews 37 or 66 or another class 60 if any one is interested in the bone feel free to send me a pm David Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
