@forest2807 Morning Adrian I have several bogie frames but they are from Early Green Liveried ones (sandboxes at both ends of the bogies) , let me know if any use to you Regards Dave

Hi Adrian I believe you bought a load of Heljan stuff off me in the past on ebay , I'll check my spares box asap as I think I may have some of what you're looking for Regards Dave

It's on the business details of said ebay seller ;)

I have a sneaky feeling this guy is back on ebay as chrisjc67 , seems to be advertising a lot of new Accurascale/Heljan product , when you look at his business details his address is The Caravan and it's in Okehampton

Interesting that the speaker is facing downward in this model

I very much doubt Bachmann read this thread

May have been in a rush to get that notice printed for the show and not realised

No worries , I'm sure someone will post about them , it was said on their Facebook page that there would be a small announcement of a rerun of blue 25s because the first 3 sold through so quickly

Did you happen to get any details of the 3 new blue 25s being done?

The flange squeal is on from the factory

Hi I've dropped you a PM regards decoders

These are what I have used in my Grainge & Hodder canopy modules https://www.amazon.co.uk/PAUTIX-Flexible-Lighting-Connector-Extension/dp/B08S77TJ9K/ref=sr_1_6?adgrpid=134015180349&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.BGMsadU-tzBJysFCgQz0Mrc7udWwTqCApwSpGHEdrmbFvlTWzX1JxrNAsJKolDFgPXNvv9_0M3mbC9hmCmBSUGruA6ry1i16AzuBJ3hHdjMVgZxBLyM_IK_vPPQaGH52doT2QVlapoJZZBF08ZJP3burxgzclFIQsse591-7POgDm_NfWa8MDOWPyyvJnja1RdnvBsCofE-jzIWpM30d8JvZgxfk7Z_yBTbLEXVtg72BL7whgt8lcgXLUNETCDA5RQ-WargpH32H6kb8Kmv4fIj5IDQ5HueMmTfqHz1n1xQ.y7Pka5_EQCY7newPpyGz8ZQFNTYsHu_ceLSOC5QYGEg&dib_tag=se&hvadid=587726491091&hvdev=c&hvlocphy=1006772&hvnetw=g&hvqmt=e&hvrand=17517266399930535295&hvtargid=kwd-1672054122404&hydadcr=26186_1767299&keywords=pautix%2Bcob%2Bled%2Bstrip&qid=1709132576&sr=8-6&th=1 You can see them in testing on a few of the different colours here

In all honesty there is no track plan as such , I'd just need a handful of B6 L + R turnouts and some straight stuff , make it up as I go along I'd looked at the British Fnescale kits but like the idea of the plug track

After seeing the videos by James @ Bexhill West I'm quite impressed with the plug track system but not being the owner of a 3D printer (I don't even have a computer at home!) I was wondering if there's any plans for these being made available as kits? Either that or whether someone would be willing to print some for me , I will pay of course! I have some friends badgering me to do P4 but they model pre grouping so are hand building everything whereas I do diesels Dave

Tellindalloch was my favourite of the show

Fantastic shot that is

Thanks The only thing putting me off switching to EM or P4 at the moment is the fact that anything I want to run on the layout other than my Suttons Loco's needs converting somehow

Just make sure you get a DPDT version of you are wanting to use them to switch tortoises

Jeremy , they are Red/green bi colour LEDs for mounting in the panel to show the set route and yes , I wanted the switch itself to illuminate (the reason for buying that kind of switch in the first place) but didn't want it lit in it's centre off position

All done and dusted , just need to crack on with the layout now and get them fitted VID_20240215_213002.mp4

Yes it's just a single colour LED on the Halo ring of the switch

The help from everyone has been invaluable , think I'm going to look at the illumination of the switch itself which I managed to get working from jumping a positive and negative feed to but wouldn't mind seeing if I could rig it so it's on when switched left or right but off in the centre position

You sir are a star! works as required , even managed to add 2 bi colour LED's into the circuit as I wanted to see if I was capable of doing that , connection to switch illumination left off until it's fitted to the facia Thanks again VID_20240215_072335.mp4

Jeremy , it's the ones later in my post not from the beginning so just separate positive and negative feeds although on the switch I have used to turn on some lights I have that wired so it will only come on when the switch is on so will need to experiment possibly to get that to function in the same manner As below

Cheers , will give this a try this evening For the LED side of things I'm thinking it will be possible to place a jumper across from one of the positive and one of the negative feeds?
