Cavalex Models All new RTR BBA wagon in 4mm scale
mevaman1 replied to Grimleygrid's topic in Cavalex
I am the lucky winner of a set of 6 KMS EWS limited editions. 3 x BBAs and 3 x BLAs. I am chuffed to bits (excuse the pun). I unpacked them this afternoon and realised (again) how exquisite these are. They’ll go with my Bachmann BZAs and Accurascale JSAs. You’ve got to be in it to win it -

All of the conjecture about ownership of tooling doesn’t really matter. The key thins are ‘is the model good enough for me’ and ‘will I buy one’. I am hoping for more liveries in future.

Ohh, what is the point! This is a prototype that has been successfully produced by Bachmann. I just don’t get why Hornby is releasing this.

Class 50, By Accurascale
mevaman1 replied to Accurascale Fran's topic in Accurascale / Irish Railway Models
I, for one, am extremely grateful for the table that you have produced. I have saved this to use in the future. In my opinion there is no need for you to delete posts. Thankyou for the information. Andrew -
Mark 2b, By Accurascale and IRM!
mevaman1 replied to Accurascale Fran's topic in Accurascale / Irish Railway Models
An NSE Mk 2C TSOT is needed to complete a fully Accurascale Exeter-Waterloo set. We now will have the 50s and the 2Bs so this last coach would complete the set! I know that I am Wishlisting! Andrew -
Cavalex Models All new RTR HAA and variants in 4mm scale
mevaman1 replied to Grimleygrid's topic in Cavalex
One of our members rubbed off the majority of the blue squares using cotton buds and T-cut. Done slowly and carefully you can keep a faint outline of the square. -

CDAs behind 37675 in RfD livery at Par on 07/08/93. These clearly show the blue square outlines on the sides. -

Cavalex Models All new RTR HAA and variants in 4mm scale
mevaman1 replied to Grimleygrid's topic in Cavalex
Great to chat to both Alex and Cav over the Warley weekend. As a Cornish modeller, I am excited to see the exquisite rendition of the tarpaulin covers on the CDAs. This is another livery worth considering. Note how the ECC logo on the side has been removed but you can still see the edge of the blue ‘box’ of colour. We (Redruth MRC) have modelled this using Hornby wagons. -

Bachmann 20/3. What does the PLUX22 blanking plug look like?
mevaman1 replied to mevaman1's topic in DCC Help & Questions
Hi Stevie Very many thanks for the photo. It is a great help. it is now clear that my loco has a PLUX22 decoder fitted. I will change it for a blanking plug and then check that it works on DC. Andrew -
Bachmann 20/3. What does the PLUX22 blanking plug look like?
mevaman1 replied to mevaman1's topic in DCC Help & Questions
Hi Stevie I’m afraid that you have to be a subscriber to read this but thanks for the suggestion. Andrew -
I have purchased a secondhand Bachmann 20/3 and it is completely dead on DC with no lights working. I am wondering if it has a decoder fitted instead of the blanking plug. I am trying to find a photo of the PLUX22 blanking plug used on a Bachmann 20/3. The Bachmann spares website doesn’t list these for the 20. I can see them for the 121 and 158. Are the blanking plugs the same for all Bachmann PLUX22 fitted locos? What do these look like? Advice and photos would be much appreciated. Andrew

Modulus Control System - Pre-Ordering Is Now Open!
mevaman1 replied to ScaleModelScenery's topic in Scale Model Scenery
I have ordered the starter set plus mimic panel set, relay kit, input kit and servo kit. I have seen the system demo’d at the Cornwall Show a couple of weeks ago. I am mightily impressed and can see that it will save loads of wiring and, for exhibition layouts, will mean that the wiring connections between baseboards will be really simple. Andrew -
Welcome To The Scale Model Scenery RM Web Hangout!
mevaman1 replied to ScaleModelScenery's topic in Scale Model Scenery
Hi Stu Many thanks for the demo at the Cornwall Model Railway Show yesterday. We (Redruth MRC) are very excited at the opportunities that arise from using Modulus. It will significantly reduce our wiring and will make route setting and occupation display so much easier. Andrew -
Bumped into Arran on Par Station this afternoon. I was there to see the RHTT. We don’t have KTAs down here! 😀😀.

Brilliant news. These will fit in perfectly with our layout ‘Hoopers Aggregates’. With the Revolution MMA/JNA, the Dapol MJA, JHA and HIA, the Accurascale HYA and the Bachmann HKA (not to mention NR Autoballasters, MRAs and IOAs) we are spoilt for choice.

A big thumbs up from me. A great organisation to deal with. Their attention to detail and quick responses to queries are a model for others. Their steel wagons are simply delightful!
