How do you remove the cover of the slide bars of the Pug?

Thanks alot! Will look into those kits.

Thanks for this info, i'll look into it tomorrow. And also, I really do not have the space for anything bigger than 1st radius, my room is 6 cubic metres! My coupling arrangement is also dire, I've got slim NEMs and massive Hornby couplings and plastic wheels on some of my stock as well. I have a pretty tight budget so I buy what's cheapest!

Hornby 1st radius, with a W4 Peckett.

I can't really tighten them seeing as the track is glued in place..

Hello! I have a small oval of track as a layout, with some points, but in the bends my loco slows down considerably. It's not the wheelbase of the loco, seeing as it's an 0-4-0. I suspect something's wrong with the track because I've cleaned it enough for it to run properly, but it still slows down.

I think I said that wrong, I didn't reposition them, I poked a little needle in between the wheels and the pickups and a little bit of crud came out.

Wheel backs, as in where the pickups rub along?

I've tried repositioning the pickups and I think that's done something. I don't know whether or not it'll stay like that though.

Hello, Yesterday I got a Hornby W4 Peckett, and in the evening it started making a small squeeking/whistling noise as it goes along. I've tried lubricating literally every moving part (even the crossheads!) with sewing machine oil and it still squeeks. What do I need to do? Or should I return it to Rails of Sheffield.

I have a Hornby 0-4-0 of the more recent slow variety and I cannot for the life of me get the body off. It comes off quite easily at the back but the smokebox just will not come loose.

Thank you!

Alright, thanks. I'll look into it.

Yes I meant PWM haha, the Hornby one is PWM because it makes a humming noise at low voltage. Is the Gaugemaster one Feedback?

Hello, I currently have a Hornby R8250 controller, but I have a model (DJM J94) which has a coreless motor. I head WPM is bad for coreless motors because of the heat it produces. Is there a way of modifying the controller or a cheap alternative with the lowest frequency WPM possible? I know the Bachmann Speed Controller has no WPM but the shipping costs for that thing are ridiculous. The R7229 isn't much better seeing as the WPM is even higher on that one. It also can't be a feedback controller. TIA.

Hello, I'm looking to convert my Dapol A1X into an A1, and give it a different livery. I don't know how to disassemble it though. Is there a manual someone has a pic of? TIA

Pecketts and Pugs are too expensive and the Polly or Dock Shunter are too hard to find for a cheap price including shipping, and I'm not exactly a serious modeller.

Oh I really wouldn't know, I'll hazard a guess and just say steel?

I don't know how long Hattons accepts returns, seeing as I bought it a while ago.

And as SR71 said I don't have money for all that expensive equipment. If I had money to buy that stuff I would just get a new loco

Turns out it's crooked AND it's out of gauge! What do?

How do I loosen these?

If that would have been the case wouldn't it be wobbly in forward and reverse?
