im really tempted to buy the BR green W1, but im worried it might have a motor issue like the last model i bought from Hornby (the APT)
-
Trailer Second (Open) Lavatory Wheelchair Miniature Buffet be aware though, the classifications are based on guess work since there currently isnt any publicly released data
-
i dont run DCC so thats probably way
-
wait, the APT has cab lights?! the cab light on my one doesn't light up
-
Following on from this, i've drawn up a mock up of what a 745 model could be released as;
-
just do what they did with the APT and sell the other coaches separately
-
i'll most likely leave all the pickups still wired in for back up sake
-
perfect! I hope these prove popular enough for Hornby to make the 745s
-
a plan i have is using some 2.54 mm micro connectors to link up all 6 coaches to the DTS and relay on the DTS and the TBF's capacitors since they're hidden
-
So, has anyone here found a way to hide the visible capacitors from the trailers and is it wise to outright remove them?
-
in my case, i plan on splitting my full 14 car set in half and running it as the proposed APT-Q sets using the new tooled MK4 DVT in place of the DAV4, hence the need to power the second NDM
-
Does Hornby sell spares for the powered NDMs yet? I still want to power the dummy NDM you get with the 7 car set and i want to know if it'll be cheaper buying the spare parts myself and building it or just getting the single powered NDM and swapping shells
-
Has Hornby released any CADs for the 755s yet? those are really the only 2022 range models im interested in currently
-
That was my one, she had her one replaced as it blew straight out of the box, and now she has a spring in her step
-
Any one know how to get the shell of off the TBF trailer, so far, i've only been able to get two screws out, the third one is right above the bogie and refuses to come out
-
i do love the blue-ish livery Hornby gave to the 1980's model
-
right, my NDM has returned with a replaced capcitor and she's now halfway into her running in
-
might be late to the party but Hornby are no longer listing the 'Trains on Film's packs anywhere on their site
-
Ok, i now know why this has happened, the red wire coming from the pickup has broken free from solder holding it down to the pickup
-
the pickups are contacting the wheels perfectly fine but i have bent them slightly to make sure they make proper contact. I cant open it up as all my screw drivers have too small heads
-
So, any advice on how to fix the faulty lighting on my TBF?
-
Im able to get it to light up if i do this
-
once or twice, but now they only come on if i partly derail the bogie
-
TBF lights flicked out and now wont come back on
-
its more so i would like to replace it as my one has trouble stay put when put into the raised position, just the movement of the NDM going around a curve is enough to cause it to drop
