Great news - and I hope the prices will drop as every one of these liveries are on my wish list!

I doubt we will see the 'backbone' livery.

Thanks - that answers my question just fine!

I really want an APT but all of these faults require major (warranty violating) interventions Is it likely Hornby's second batch will amend these areas - or should I spend my money elsewhere?

I saw these at Ally Pally today - sorry no photos but the BR Blue looked really good Also they have corrected the ARC livery for the Class 59 - looks good

Should have gone to Specsavers? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/LIMA-CLASS-37-DIESEL-TRANSRAIL-LIVERY-MODIFIED-ENDS-G-27-UK-/325090504791?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49286&mkrid=710-127635-2958-0

With these retail prices the second hand prices will also likely rise towards £160

Buy a 90 for £120 and stick in a £100 sound chip - e voila

EWS livery with faded numbers would be my preferred choice - my guess is that 32-614 will be EWS with many variants for regional sellers My only gripe is the eyewatering cost of this model - the non sound versions cost more than the previous sound versions!

Thanks for sharing as that was the same with my model - it wouldn't sit straight and being made of plastic was part of the problem.

Hi I have the first run Heljan Class 33 and have been unable to source the fuel tanks Gaugemaster doesn't appear to have spares for it anymore - is there anyone on RMWeb who can help? Thanks in advance

Thanks - the dummy trailer is fine - the problem is in the motorised trailer - the problem occurs whether it is connected or not to other coaches

Some advice needed My powered trailer has developed a fault with the directional lighting - at first the red light wouldn't come on so I did a chip reset and the white light works as should but the red light is always on. I tried resetting the chip and using other reliable decoders but the problem remains Any ideas please?

If you bought them on eBay - put in a request for refund because item is faulty They will respond pretty quickly to that

Does anyone want to sell a dummy NDM coach?

Were you able to find better glazing for the Trix chassis?

Sory to hear you are having problems, check that the wheels on both bogies are powered. Some NDM have had the cardan shaft disconnect to one of the bogies (this was the case with mine) You get rough running sounds and lack of power.

My 7 car set has gone back The NDM could not reliably get around corners and over pointwork by itself, it had a plethora of minor problems with the wheels offset, too wide and too much lateral play. Because of that the wheels don't pull the bogie around which is necessary to get the tilt and that, together with lack of weight meant that the bogies would lift and derail. In the end that convinced me a replacement would not solve the problem, as well as the fact that one of the pantographs keep falling apart. and unfortunately the NDM working reliably is vital to the whole set

A nice choice as I am sure a professional respray would be difficult to produce the sweep of the curved edges of the white panel on the cab front. The cost of the this DCC ready loco is getting close to the SNCB sound fitted collectors edition - which now seems a good price. I wish I had one!

An update on the derailing problem while getting the wheels to 14.5mm - it was very easy - the axles are all quite loose on my model - you can pull the wheels off with minimal effort and also the driving cog - and that was the first problem one of my gears was misaligned on the axle - so that allowed almost no lateral play of the wheels - fixed that Still had derailments but fewer then looked more closely at the wheelsets and could see not all the driving gears were on the same position on the axle - so wheels would be slightly offset on parallel track with a slight lateral turn of the bogie. Sorted that out - still some derailments so after more close observation - this time running the NDM by itself - eventually noticed the wheels on the front bogie are lifted slightly. The NDM I think is just not heavy enough - it is about half as light as the motor car on my APT E This is way too many faults need fixing from new and then you have to worry about how many others will develop going forward. It is going back in the box and back to Hornby

Thanks for all the help on here. After adjusting the wheels the running improved but there were still derailments.

I wonder if a lot of the NDM failed in testing and they had to replace them with the single cars? That might explain the lack of supply and the delays.

Yes it is unacceptable my problems have mounted up Drive shaft disconnected Internal wiring not soldered Floppy pantograph which falls apart Back to backs too wide £500

Hi measured 14.9 to 15mm on all wheels So how can I carefully adjust this? Do I have to remove wheels from bogies or use a special tool?

What should the back to backs be on the wheels?
