    In the last month ive had a few preowned locos. All described as not tested and as you say all a single photo of the loco in the box. They were all also pretty cheap. 2 out of the 3 were obviously brand new never opened. One had been opened but was pristine.

    Well i got hold of a half circle of peco 1st radius so done some testing. The results are every loco bar the class 37 passed with flying colours. Both light engine and pushing and pulling a mk1 coach. The 37s leading bogie derailed as soon as it was on the curve. Both my 37s did it. A Hornby railroad 37 was fine tho. Very suprised the 47s and 66 were fine but i think ill keep them to the outer loop and just run the smaller Bobos on the inner loop

    My baseboards only 38" wide - the widest i can do - so can fit a 2nd radius oval. Ive got a fair few Bachmann diesels and want to run more than one at once so im looking to put an inside first radius loop. How likley is it that they will run round 1st raduis with no issues? Locos include ( all Bachmann ) : Class 08 Class 20 - both old and new tool Class 24 - new tool Class 25 Class 37 Class 45 Class 47 - both old and new tool Class 66

    Has anyone got hold of one yet? Suprised no videos doing the rounds on youtube. There both on my hitlist but wanted to see how the 08s do over insulfrogs. Most of my points are the large streamline type and they have a fairly large plastic V dead spot on the frog

    Getting used to this powercab just about Ive got several locos and i like to switch between them. So leave one loco running with sound and lights on, then use another loco for shunting. No issue so far - but if i then reselect the first loco i find the speed is back at 0 and all the lights and sound are off and sometimes directions wrong as well. With the prodigy i had before when i went back to a previous loco it would be exactly as i left it, can i not do this with the powercab?

    Ive been looking for a new prodigy controller. Either the DCC01 or the DCC02. Every place ive looked online and all 3 of my local shops are out of stock. Are they now out of production?

    Hattons had the exact same stock reduced recently. The B12 was something like £79 and the hoppers were £14 each

    Dont normally buy sets but tempted by the red rover set along with a TTS chip for it

    I like to use Ballast Magic powder glue for pointwork. Mix it with the ballast, spread it how you want it then just spray with water to fix it down. No runny glue round the pointwork then

    Maybe Bachmann have a suprise for us in the next announcements. 009 was a suprise after all :)

    airfix or Dapol i think. Not sure if the body has been updated.

    It seems that Hornby have updated there vent vans to have nem pockets / couplers. Previous vans i had purchased from Hornby had the bigger D couplings so this is a welcome change. For reference the ones i purchased are : R60029 - 4 vent meat van R60028 - Single vent van R60031 - Mogo van R60027 - Twin vent van

    If anyones after a sound fitted 150 then trident trains in nantwich has 1 in central trains livery with howes sound in the preowned cabinet for £170. There was also a Regional Railways one with YouChoos sound but that came home with me
  18. meatloaf
    Might get a sound fitted MLV. Dissapointed that the 08 shunters are the old version i was hoping for a sound ready retool with lighting

    I work in a post office, if you have a local one you can pay cheques into most accounts at the post office :)

    So after my last post ive replaced the decoder in a Bachmann pannier with a Gaugemaster DCC22. Whilst it does run better its still not great a low speed and wanted to try turning off the back EMF. The included instructions dont give a full list of what the CVS are. Is it likley to be CV61?

    I only went as i was holidaying at Primrose Valley in Filey. Saw it advertised on many lamp posts and thought why not. Wasnt expecting it to be so busy i have to admit.

    I visited yesterday morning. I arrived at atound 10.20am. Had to park round the corner as the car park was full. I was back in my car by 10.35am. FAR to many people in that small hall. Covid aside id be amazed if fire regulations allowed them many to be in at one time. It was heaving. Couldnt get near any layouts and had to fight to get down the narrow aisles. So despite having cash to spend i left empty handed. ( apart from the show guide i got when i paid )

    I dont think its got back emf, its that old. I'll pick up a new decoder most likley. Im on hols next week in north yorkshire - good excuse to visit TMC 😀

    You need a 6 function decoder which i dont think the Bachmann one is. On mine the bottom shunting lights are on F1 front and F2 back but as im using a prodigy controller i had to remap the rear lights to F4 But it varies depending on what decoder you have.
