Wires soldered to the underside of the tender.

Unfortunately one of the soldered wires to the underside of the chassis has detached. Can anybody with a working rocket post a photo/diagram of where the wires are soldered.

Many thanks

Seems a bit daft to follow up my own post but the answer is yes there is an accessory pack mine was inadvertently left out at the retailer when the loco was tested.

If anybody has got one for Xmas I would be very grateful if they can say whether their model had an accessory pack attached, i.e. front steps, engine and tender brake rods.
Mine didn't but it has the fittings for the brake rods and the front steps are not on the model.
TIA

However I am mystified by the orientation of the speaker under the tender weight and also there is an additional thin round clip which fits the speaker. 2 screws are provided but there are no locating holes in the tender chassis....

May be early yet but has anybody fitted one of these in the tender ? If so I would be glad of any help. AFAIK no service sheet is available yet on the Hornby site and no fitting instructions are provided with the decoder. Besides the chip and circuit board there is a speaker, a plastic securing ring...

Could I thank contributors for their valuable help.

I think that the part you want is X9461. This comes in black, X9461,X9461G green, X9461W weathered. Googling Hornby x9461 will give you providers. I note the New Modellers shop has stock of the black. If you go to peters spares website and in the search box type honby N15 class it lists the spares w...

I cannot see if the lower gear which transmits drive to to ...
