Sure ive seen the Cavelex 56 at £189

The price is going to be the problem in my opinion

Running absolutely perfect tonight so I am very happy 😊 

OK thanks for the reply

So 609 arrived yesterday and i must say amazing i fitted a driver and pipework so easy to do then after about 20 minutes running on Dc  it started to slow down to a crawl when i turned up the power it set off again has anyone else had this problem

Thanks for the reply the retailer I purchased  from are advertising them as fitted  with tailights their mistake.Which would I mix them with to be realistic  and get a taillight pack

Just received  two packs of the unpainted Nacco branded wagons as well as 6 packs of coal and 6 packs of Biomass and superb they are but none of the Nacco have taillights checking on Accurascale  website they should be fitted same code on the boxes as the website or did they change and didn't  fit these with the lights ?

I would test run it. I have just received two as Christmas presents one worked the other didnt thats gone back to be exchanged 

That looks stunning.So tonight's session Cemex running like a dream lost no axle boxes yet and runs smoothly Biff's Derailed again two or three times until it dropped two axle boxes leading bogie center and rear axles once these are gone it runs perfectly do I might cut them down and glue in place if that's a fix as you can't really see them turning anyway

make sure the cabs are in right then use masking tape to secure detail parts in situe that way if they come of they will stick to the tape and not launch into oblivion mate if you persevere you will end up with the dogs dangles of a class 66 for all there faults they are superb  once sorted but 

So have just run in Biffa and Cemex. biffa derails alot and has lost two axleboxes. cemex runs perfect no axleboxes lost but suffers light bleed on cab roof and when opened had a broken bogie footstep.madge elliot is still droping axleboxes but runs perfect now i had the large logo one for christmas and was and still is perfect

just had my confirmation for Biffa and Cemex. I preordred for Christmas just had to do some serious grovelling as i bought Madge Elliot last week £450 this month just hope these two dont fall apart like Madge did 

the wobble would be due to not quite fitting the axlebox correctly I refitted one of mine and the loco wobbled to the first curve then fell off the track I refitted and all was well. I hope spare parts will be available as I also lost another one and a set of lower hand rails when I removed the body to insert a driver

Are you running DC, or DCC?

 

 

They are switchable with DCC 4 or 6 function decoders and switched with the underside switches in DC mode. (Switches are "on" for DCC switching)

The internal switches are for day/night headlight running

Hi Mick thanks for replying I am running on dc and have tried the switches underneath these don't seem to turn them off. Looking at the instructions there should be 3 switches but mine only has 2 and they are minute I will remove the body later and see what I can come up with 

anyoneknow how to turn rear lights off ive tried the underneath switches but they do nothing ?

I ordered 68002 from Hattons yesterday afternoon and it arrived this morning wow what a model only spoilt by glue on one side such a shame.

The email I received today says that 66718 is back in stock and available to buy so I clicked on the link that then says will be available for delivery in September so looks like it's not in stock really disappointed and with the price first-class 66s are getting out of bounds

Sorry yes just had a domestic for nothing lol

Apparently in stock now

Anyone heard when 66050will be in stock I have tried phone and email but no reply want to pre-order 66111 from olivias but don't want them both at same time
