Is it possible to fit Kadee's to a 1971 Hornby R52 Jinty? I do have some 1st radius curves to contend with..
Any recommendations?
Many thanks to all those who responded to my earlier question

Could anyone advise which Kadee coupler is best suited to the Hornby Class 08 R2417, which has NEM pockets?
TIA

Please could someone explain how to detach the bodies of these Railroad locomotives from their respective chassis?
I like to fit keepalive caps inside.
Many thanks

I would really appreciate the video 8-)
Thanks for the great picture. It was a carefully designed system, so pleasing to behold.

Hi,
Dunno if this'll help any but the piccy is of one of my units.
They're actually a wonderful example of a quality mechanical toy... or something. By this I mean it's got activating solenoids to make the gauge needle move like an actual instrument, there's just enough voltage so the solenoids can stay on without overheating with tiny little wires. And they go "ding" using bell clappers, no digital noises allowed here.
Be aware - the plastic is old - I've had a couple of issues with some bits breaking because of brittle plastic and spares... I did try the NZ Triang service station, but the four digit phone number didn't seem to work....
I do have boxed with instructions if you need a copy - I just had a look on youtube and it doesn't look like anyones done a video of a set. Maybe I should do one this afternoon...

What a superb collection. Well done, really impressed.
You have inspired me to have a go at building a Caledonian myself from parts on eBay.
Am I right in thinking the power is only supplied via the main driving wheels?
Surprised, and pleased they work like that.....
Cheers

Having recently returned to the hobby after 45 years I have to say I am astounded by the above posts.
The repaint quality is superior to the original Binn's product.
Hat's off to all....

Hi,
Does anybody know if the current R3406 body would fit on the chassis of an R52S which has synchrosmoke?

I now am in state of ecstasy 8-)
Thanks so much!
What sort of price do they command on EBay?
Once again thanks so much I've been trying to find out about these for months....
Kind regards

Hi all,
I seem to recall in my youth Tri-ang briefly marketed a pair of block controllers sometime in the sixties.
I think the units were about six inches high, each of which consisted of a mechanical indicator with a lever at the bottom.
I've searched through all the catalogues I can find from that era but I can find no trace.
Does anyone recall this device?
Or is my imagination?
TIA
