With the arrival of the 3rd rail on my exhibition layout "Lydford Road" I have purchased a new Class 416 in NSE from colletts models,very competitive price, free postage, a very friendly and fast service. Well worth a look, if they haven't got what you want in stock they will order it in for you.

A very useful posting for people like myself who are just starting out on the DCC sound road!!! Could you tell me where you got your new speaker from? Thanks in advance Andy

Yes those steps definitely make it out of gauge and no matter what you do to them they always spring outwards!!!! Shawplan do brass steps for the class 50, I will be fitting them in due course

Thanks to Sawyer Models my Hornby Class 50 is now on the rails again. They supplied me the parts free of charge. Once again thank-you to Sawyer Models

Hi Guys I'm looking for a part for my Hornby Class 50 and hoping someone may be able to help. The part below in the diagram surrounded by arrows has disintegrated in my Hornby class 50 (50 035), having looked on various forums this is a know problem with some of the Hornby class 50's. I have contacted Hornby and they are unable to supply the part as its not a spare and don't have any returns they could rob the part from. I have tried all the usual spares suppliers but without any luck. Is there anyone out there who has a chassis which they are braking up or know where I might be able to get the part? I would be grateful if you could either contact me or point me in the right direction. As it stands I have a loco which is not operational because of this small part being broken. For everyone's information I discovered the problem as the lights stopped working and the loco body had started to lift up at the end next to the buffers Thanks in advance Andy

Hi Has anyone attempted converting a Hornby Class 466 Networker to DCC? Regards Andy
