Jintyman Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 I've had a few issues with buffers on the Bachmann Duffs, I tend to secure them with a bit of adhesive, otherwise I'll lose them, never to be found again!!!!!! Well, found only after being replaced!!! Nice locos, great era, will be watching from now on. Jinty ;-) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcus 37 Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Hi George Looking great. Just one thing, sorry if sounding picky, The 37 number needs to be 37501 to 37521. 37697 was a centre panel machine whereas yours is an ex split box machine which received the refurbished nose ends. Totally agree about the Bachmann snow ploughs though. They are generic now to both the 37 and the 47 and they stick out to far on both models. looking forward to more instalments Cheers Marcus Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
georgeT Posted January 20, 2015 Author Share Posted January 20, 2015 Morning Marcus / Andy / Jinty.

Andrew P Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Morning Mate, well after a lot of faffing about last night I managed to get the Sound Chip into the 37 with the Bass reflex speaker in place of the fan. It involved cutting away the rear bulkhead of the Cab to allow it to clear the front of the PCB board. Well worth the extra effort, the Bass speaker give wonderfully deep sound just like a REAT TRACTOR. Next up is the Blue 47 THEN THERE'S A REAL SURPRISE FOR YOU Mate, so get BS up and running. P.S. Forgot to say it still needs all the pipes, steps and ploughs on yet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marcus 37 Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Hi George Fox are still pretty good for the transfers. I was perusing there website the other day sourcing some some Intercity transfers for my coaches. The RF sector markings are all still there. Railtec are also supposed to be pretty good as well, listening to other modellers on here. Cheers Marcus Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
georgeT Posted January 22, 2015 Author Share Posted January 22, 2015 Well had a good think on how l was going to sort out the snowploughs on the RES 47s, the decided to cut the NEM pockets down and that has done the trick...... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
