    Got both of my cranes today.

    What a fantastic model it is and the detail is on another level. Took a while to arrive from announcement, but good things come to those who wait...

    Top marks Bachmann.

     

    Now, the challenge begins motorising them....

    Looking forward to that! 

  2. I’ve only just open this model from Hornby, as described on a above post my model also have the same issues plus a fractured capacitor, I’m having to send my model way for repair, unfortunately I don’t have the receipt, so this could be costly, the service rep said that the model that I have got is now obsolete and now uses a new chassis.

    Receive my class 31 on the 14th of this month they have repaired the PCB which is great but the lights and fan Which are as designed which I do not agree! Opening the box They have snapped off the infrared light which I’ve now got repair myself, i’m pretty disappointed with only Hornby repair because I’ve also got 31233 and that works perfectly with no issues in the fan works and motor works perfectly, time now to find a reasonable price, which are hard to find!

  4. Finally got there. Made a new lower cover to go over the DCC chip and turned the speakers on their sides, the body just goes on.

    I've also modified the box for a round speaker by removing the vertical section by the speakers and drilling some holes in the top. The reason for this was that with the first attempt the sound seemed to be fine for bass, but loosing the treble frequencies. These modifications seem (to my ear) to let more treble out, giving a better overall sound.

    Finally, I've cut one of the tracks on the circuit board to enable the interior lights to be switched on and off using the aux 3 function output. I can't tell if it works yet as my test track controller only has 10 functions.

    Would you mind giving the product code of DC Kits so I can order? Also are the speakers in series or parallel? Thanks

  5. It could be OTMR/TPWS gear. There are other steam locos on the mainline with various added on quipment and they can often be found on the tender tops.

    I'll try and ask my WCRC fireman friend.

     

    When it came through Settle later, it had a white headlamp (black body) with cosmetic headlamps on the outer brackets.

    Cheers,

    I would imagine it for the GSMR battery/PCU and aerial
