    Try Olivias Trains.

    Hi Does anyone know which (if any) of the solder pads on this can be used to attach a stay alive to via a Life Link or similar interface. Thanks.

    Hi Paul. I have several sets but will send you a list when I've fished them out. Good idea if it doesn't break copywrite.

    You may find that the EM wheels will foul the brake gear. With care it should be possible to remove the brake gear and reposition it. If not you'll have to carefully shave back the brake blocks until the wheel flanges clear them.

    If you have access to a vernier caliper I'd suggest measuring the gauge of the MPD at each end. If they are different it would suggest a faulty product. If that's the case, contact DCC Concepts direct - in my experience as a customer they are very helpful.

    Looking on the lner.info web page the trailing bogie looks similar to the Sentinel one. Nucast did a kit for one years ago but I don't know if anyone re-released it. If they did you might be able to obtain sideframe castings from them.

    Have a look at these from Dart Castings. https://www.dartcastings.co.uk/mjt/2550.php https://www.dartcastings.co.uk/mjt/2225.php

    Some years ago Parkside started moulding their chassis in ABS as its stronger. This would make MEK or Butanone more suitable but it appears that Peco now mould them in styrene so any decent solvent will work.

    Have you gone into cv29 and disabled everything you don't need, particularly DC running. It will make a noticeable difference. Also, are there external suppresser caps on the Tenshodo spud? If so get rid of them as the they will interfere with the decoders built ion suppresser. It might also be worth asking the question in the DCC forum.

    Thanks for that Iain but I can't get it to install.

    Hi everyone. Do any of you lovely people happen to have the software download for the DR4050? The site has gone along with Digikeijs (shame that) and a friend has one that needs reprogramming. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

    Wood for baseboards and points. Sometimes used track can be used but pointwork often goes out of shape when it's lifted.

    The OP wasn't asking about the lifespan of plastic only its possible reaction to solvents. Let's stay focussed chaps.

    I believe Olivia's Trains can be helpful with Heljan parts.
  15. RexAshton
    Ah. Fair point.
  16. RexAshton
    Just a suggestion but it might be easier to repaint the whole buffer beam with a shade that's as near as you can get?

    First job with any Bachmann loco should always be to do exactly what you've done with the horrible grease.

    Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks

    HI All Can anyone tell me what colour the LNER Garratt lettering was when it was lettered 'BRITISH RAILWAYS'? The Fox transfers are in white, light cream and dark cream but as it's for a commission I want to be sure. Thanks in advance.
  20. RexAshton
    Railtecis the best way forward.
  21. RexAshton
    Take a look at Scalescenes
  22. RexAshton
    Thanks for the replies. I may build a short test sample just to be sure.

    Does anyone know if Bachmann locos will run smoothly through C&L pointwork or do the flanges catch on the inside of the chairs. I seem to remember when the original range came out it was reported that this may be a problem but that was twenty odd years ago.
  24. RexAshton
    Any 24vDC psu will do. Try Gaugemaster.

    it's opened straight away for me using Windows 10 and Office 2019.
