Sweep

are we still on for May or June for release dates?

Gosh this is drivng me mad, I spend ages fiddling trying to get the wheels of both bogies on the track - anyone found an easier way?

So I take it they've patched up the reason they fell out?

Mine arrived yesterday, it runs like silk, it needs weathering, but i am reluctant - it's very nice

Thanks, since the above I've now been recontacted by Bachmann and they've found a stock of older Bulher motors same as are in the A1s and one is now winging its was to me - great customer service and going the extra mile.

I'm trying to get a replacement motor for the above. However, Bachmann changed them a while ago and don't stock the older ones with the thicker worn gear. Does anyone know of a suitable alternative which i could use? Thanks

The last episode last Thursday had quite a good piece about a guy getting back into railway modelling via his grandson, no railway stuff going through the auction mind, although lots of it about in the saleroom. One coment from the Vectis valuer surprised me when he said that the bottom has dropped out of the train market more or less indicated the death of the hobby, I thought it was seeing a healthy revival.

Hello My Bachmann 04 shed one of the pins holding part of the coupling rod together. Before I start trying to make a repair, can anyone tell me how the pin might be secured would it just be a force fit or would a drop of glue be involved? See photo s - thanks.

I too enjoyed last nights show, the model of Tetbury was stunning and showed Chris as a normal bloke enjoying his hobby rather than the quirky misfit the media usually likes to portray.

Just wish the narrator would stop calling a locomotive a train

The contrast between this and his other items is good, most of his stuff seems to sell for 3 or 4 pounds and then the next batch of items £726K He'll be a multi millionare by weekend.

My BCGB Barclay has run like a bag of spanners since i got it, really noisy, however, it's been cured today by nothing more than unscrewing the screws securing the body, it now glides along with hardly a hint of noise from the motor. It's always something simple!

It's the description of it which gets me.

this can't be right can it - for 40 quid? https://xuxugay.com/products/s?fbclid=IwAR3gMIu7lypH8K-UsN-OAufmevJec0uR0LJoaTdG-2PR1HAbB0GlnyL2F0I

My L shape layout is in a square room about 9ft square, one side runs in front of the window and the main light of the room is behind me so I'm often working in my own shadow. I'd appreciate some advice as to how i could fix up some simple lighting, would battery powered LED lights be an option, they'd have to be fixed on the walls, or could i fix some sort of along the mid length of the layout and string some lights from that. I've attached a rough sketch which for some reason appears upside down, but hopefully you'll get the idea.
