    1. Simon_R

      Simon_R

      Why would you ban a DIT loco from a section of mainline???

    2. Leicester Thumper

      Leicester Thumper

      yeah how come a 90 is banned from Leicester? not something to do with the bridges is it?

    3. Dan Griffin

      Dan Griffin

      Yup, good luck. However you will soon develop lard unless you keep exercising out of work.

  19. Dan Griffin

    is thinking or replacing all Heljan 47's for Bachmann ones. the Heljan ones seem to need alot of power to get going.

    1. Horsetan

      Horsetan

      Might be the motors that take a lot of current to get started? I wonder if there's a market for swapping the Buhler motors for coreless ones....

    2. Trainshed Terry

      Trainshed Terry

      That is a great idea Horsetan.

    3. Horsetan

      Horsetan

      I'm doing the same with a Heljan Hymek later. A big Maxon is the preferred option.

  20. Dan Griffin

    contemplating selling my Heljan tech services class 47, but cant seem to say goodbye!!!

      If it's a loco you're really attached to, then keep it or you'll regret selling it. I have a few locos that don't fit anything I model but I really like. A display case on the wall might be somewhere to put it?
