I was wondering if there is an index available for BRM? I have the complete digital back catalogue and would love to be able to find reviews or refer to "how to's"

Brilliant easier to model than a ballcock affair or sight glass. Thanks everyone

Hi, I am building the Watertower to stand by the Engine Shed at Llanfyllin. This is the best photo I have. Could you help me, what is the item to the right of the ladder platform? I originally thought it was a Sight Glass, but, on closer inspection I think it is a ball on a chain, could it e attached to some kind of ballcock within the tank to keep it topped up?

is this a trap point?
Isambard Kingdom Brunel replied to Isambard Kingdom Brunel's topic in UK Prototype Questions
Only the headshunt was removed, so so there was still a double line running through the bridge. Anything coming off the trap would be derailed into the bridge -

Yes, there is one in the Station on the Engine Release Crossover -

Well it would stop them. -
I've been looking through photos of LLANFYLLIN and have just noticed a small ground signal at the base of the Advanced Main Starter. Looking at the track I think there is a trap or catch point? The line resorts yo single line beyond the bridge and the SLS Signal Diagram shows a turnout on the main line operated by Ground Frame, it also shows a trap/catch point beyond the bridge Would this Ground Signal and Trap point be connected yo the ground Frame?

Thanks Harlequin, Prodigy Express arrived today, the 14xx works a treat. Select going on E Bay
-
Thanks for your help, following your instructions after I reset CV8 to 8, the loco hisses for a few seconds, then nothing when i press 1 or drive loco
-
Thanks, If I reset the Select CV8 to 8 then the loco gives a click and then a hiss of steam, and although it will drive off in either fwd or rev I don't get any other sound. The problem is I dont understand what I am doing. When I press a number then Function I either get Of or On, but, even when it says On I have nothing
-
I bought one a while ago and now have had my Hornby Select Firmware updated. I had a problem getting any sound, I was told reset Decoder by setting CV8 to 8. This now gives me some sound. Has anyone got a list of the sound functions of a 14-58xx
-
Had a reply from Hattons telling me to reset CV8 to 8, which rreset the decoder and now have sound. Sadly no list of functions
-
Thanks, It doesnt do anything when I press 1 and F so I suspect something must be amiss somewhere
-
Thanks it is a Hattons 14XX DJM I think, Ive sent them a message hoping it was originally bought from them with the sound fitted.Ive tried looking at the decoder but, it is firmly wedged in the boiler and I dont want to use anythig to grab it. I think the problem is more with the Select controller or more likely the way I am using it. Ive tried following the instructions but sound does not seem to want to work.

Hornby Select V1.6 Functions Question
Isambard Kingdom Brunel posted a topic in DCC Help & Questions
I have recently upgraded the Hornby Select to V1.6, Th controller works well driving loco forward and back, but. I am struggling to grasp the principles of functions and Sound. I have a Sound fitted 14xx, but, have no list of functions to go with it. Pressing a number between 10 and 29 and then the function button I have had a couple of sounds, a bell and also a woosh of steam, but, that was it. Now no sounds. What am I doing wrong, Im completely new to DCC -
I have a pre owned Bachmann 64XX 31-636A. All screws are screwed in completely, but, the coal load is loose and moves. I have undone the screw under the bunker but, the lead stay the same and although loose will not come out. Is there a way to secure it? I don't want to hlue it as I may need to be able to access it to fit a speaker
-
Thanks very much for your quick answers, that's a great help

I have built a lever frame and I am not sure the position of the levers in relation to: A. GWR Signal set at danger, (signal pulled off?) B. Turnouts, do you pull the lever to set the way, otherwise its a straight road? Thanks
-
Love that, they must have the wheel sets ready quartered and positioned carefully to be bake to just roll them into position

I'm modelling Llanfyllin in 30's, I am trying to find out where the TOAD Brake Vans would have been allocated from. The only reference to Oswestry named Van's is in the 40's.
-
Thats the name of the guy who part built my first coach, as a demo for me. Thanks
-
I haven't seen the reference in the Comet Instructions. I'm working on the underframe at the moment
-
Hi, basically a letter A has been written on the inside of one end and a Letter B written at the other end. There was an important reason about 6-7 years ago when I bought them, but, can't remember it. I can understand if the ends were identical, but,its obvious which is the brake end.
-
Thanks, but, I can tell which end-to-end are because of the layout of the sides
-
I am finally getting round to starting my second E147, my two kits were bought a few years ago with one being part built professionally. For some personal reasons I had to stop modelling for about 6 or 7 years. I've now almost completed the first one and completed the hinges droplights etc on the second. The first has the ends marked A & B and I cant remembervwhy it is done, it's not in building coaches the comet way. Has anyone any ideas?
