Many thanks gents thats really very useful thank you very much indeed. Its very confusing with all the different versions of Pullmans that were produced so thank you for compling this. Happy New Year Best Wishes, Chris

Many thanks Gents delighted to say that the Porterhouse Magentic couplings have solved this problem for me, brilliant thank you. Happy New Year https://www.porterhousemodels.co.uk/store/00-gauge Best Wishes, Chris

Thinking of purchasing if I can a complete rake of White roofed pullman coaches just wondering if anyone knows what the list comprises of in terms of coaches please. Also did Hornby ever do a tri axle white roof Pullman coach like they did in Grey? Many thanks and Best Wishes, Chris

Many thanks that it is very interesting although a little confusing Best Chris

Just in the process of superdetailing my loco Bittern and I was just wondering about adding a cover to the area between the engine and the tender? Just wondering what people use as a cover? Many thanks and Best Wishes, Chris

Thanks Gents I will adjust one of the bogies as suggested, many thanks Chris

Many thanks that sounds like a good idea

Many thanks the rake seems to run over the points and diamond crossings with no issues at all, so I hadnt checked the back to back as its only when it passes through over one of the large radii curves. It never seems to be the same curve either, but always the same wagon. I have even switched to magnetic couplings with no difference. Best wishes and thanks, Chris

Many thanks Gents very interesting, sorry its a 00 Gauge layout. Good point I will check the distance between the buffers I hadn't thought of that exellent point. The track is cleaned and appears to be fairly clean. Many thanks and Best Wishes, Chris

Many thanks Gents much appreciated yes I think a check rail is the answer. I have checked the couplings using standard NEM couplings, Kaydee Couplings and megnetic couplings and the problem persists. Tried experimeneting with adding weights and lossening the bogies, so I think the answer is suggested is to use a check rail. Many thanks and Best Wishes, Chris

We have just finished converting a very old layout to DCC however one of the curves is rather tight not sure what radius it is, but one or two of my wagons (not all) derail and or decouple. Unfortunately the track cannot be relaid as it has been previously super glued into position (it would appear) as we have tried to relay the track but it wont budge. So just wondering if anyone knows some one who manuafctures something like a template that would fit inside the track so the wheels adhere to the track. We made a tempoary template which we inserted inside the track using cardboard and this did indeed work and the wagons stopped derailing / decoupling, as the wheels were forced to follow the curvature of the track. Appreciate any thoughts, many thanks. Best Wishes, Chris

I recently purchased a rake of the superb weathered BOC Tanks from Olivias Trains, but I have a couple of wagons which continuosly derail, just wondering if there is a fix? My other wagons run perfectly fine including my 100 TEA Tanks. Best Wishes and Many thanks Chris

Many thanks just been directed to this site which looks excellent 00 Gauge - Porterhouse Models

Brilliant thank you never heard of them, thank you Best Wishes, Chris

Happy Christmas to everyone, does anybody know if Hornby are going to release longer couplings as 20mm is still rather tight on points and I have had a couple of derailments - 25mm would be ideal ? Best Wishes, Chris

I would go for 20mm Magnetic Couplings otherwise traversing over points can be problematic. Does anybody know if Hornby are going to release longer couplings as 20mm is still rather tight on points and I have had a couple of derailments - 25mm would be ideal ? Best Wishes, Chris

Many thanks John thats very useful thank you. Best Chris

Many thanks John can you tell me what CV 159 is? Also I have noted that the Two locos operate at different speeds how do I alter the speed? Thank you John, Best Wishes, Chris

Many thanks Roy, AMJ very useful, managed to reverse one of them using CV29 =1. Thanks Roy very helpful. Best, Chris

Many thanks John DCC Sound - Legomanbiffo Best Wishes, Chris

I have two Class 20's DCC Sound unfortunately they run in opposite directions I want them to run in tandem. Just wondering how it is possible to do this? As I had forgotten that they would run in opposite directions. Many thanks Chris

Many thanks excellent idea Best Chris

Many thanks Rob, sorry I converted it to this type some years ago, now I want to convert it back. Hope this makes sense. Best Chris

This is the type I would like to fit on my Class 37's

Many thanks yes its the plated headcodes, I have some DRS Class 37's which I have converted to BR Blue. So I want to apply the plated headcodes in lieu of the blanking plate that has been fitted. Hope this makes sense? Best Chris
