Hi I have had problems with Superstrip and filler (it tends to make it go soft) so personally I would strip the coach first. Cheers Paul

Hi What are the components between the terminal block screwed to the layout and the outputs of the CANToTI and what are they for? Cheers Paul

Hi It's only used between the fingers to just take the edge off the outside not drilling all the way through. Cheers Paul

Hi It's in one of the technical bulletins on the MERG website DCC11/19. Cheers Paul

Hi I emailed them a couple of times before Christmas to enquire about some items and never had a reply. Cheers Paul

Hi It did on my domino one and I found it easier to insert the decoder that way instead of struggling with getting the whole body off. Cheers Paul

Hi I'm guessing for review for one of the magazines. Cheers Paul

Hi I hate to be the bringer of bad news but your a day out with your dates Friday is the 21st and Monday is the 24th not Tuesday. Cheers Paul

Hi I've just gone to order one and they are all showing as pre order. Cheers Paul

Hi On several of the Woodhead videos I have there is definitely a Green coach in the rake. Cheers Paul

Hi With the camera I have you can hold the flash down so that it doesn't pop up. Cheers Paul

Hi That may have been because people couldn't wait as they were one of the last liveries produced and so people may have bought the others to repaint. Cheers Paul

Hi Just one minor point these are BDO/BDV/BDAs not BBAs. A BBA looks like this http://paulbartlett.zenfolio.com/bba/h215aa1fb#h215aa1fb Cheers Paul

Hi Does this allow the forward and backward movement of the coupler in the Peco pocket? I must admit I have always removed the Peco ones as I didn't think they would work in these pockets. Cheers Paul

Hi That's the wrong type for the Peco wagons. You really want 1015 or 1016 or 1025 and you need to cut off the existing coupling. The 1128/9 are perfect for the stock with the older Rapido pocket. Microtrains sadly don't do a coupling to fit the NEM socket, there was talk a year a two ago of them looking at this but now Dapol and Bachmann are producing couplings this may not happen. Cheers Paul

Hi I have never ever had an issue with Microtrains couplings loosing any parts once fitted to my stock. Have you just been unlucky? Cheers Paul

Hi Thanks. I have a couple of these kits to make so this thread and your help above willl come in very handy. Cheers Paul

Hi How do you finally fix the sides? Cheers Paul

Hi Instead of hoping why not contact Bachmann and let them know of the issues, then they might get corrected. Cheers Paul

Hi I would be interested in one if you went ahead with developing it. Cheers Paul

Hi I only found out by accident. My method is as follows. Apply transfer and allow to dry for at least 24 hours, then using Microset carefully coat the transfer and leave for a couple of minutes. Using a brush keep poking the edge of the carrier film until you get the carrier to start lifting. It's then just a case of working the brush further and further under the carrier film until you get to the other side. Once you have got both sides lifted you can then work the brush along the length of the transfer. I have heard of other people using masking tape to pull the carrier film off but I've never tried this. Cheers Paul

Hi I've found the removal of ModelMasters carrier film to be a bit hit and miss. Sometimes it works perfectly and others it doesn't. I too would be interested in your method. Cheers Paul

Hi Unless like me you are already using the Microtrains couplings then I would perfer Farish did make them compatible with those. Cheers Paul

Hi I have some drawings I used when I built my 2mm 506, drop me a PM. Cheers Paul

Hi I ream (I have a tapered reamer that goes from about 3mm to 13mm) the holes out on these bogies. I tried drilling with the same effect as above. Cheers Paul
