Bufferstop,,,,for us less knowledgeable could you please tell us what it is ? And where could one get one ? ,,I do like the look of it and I'm always interested in items that perhaps are exclusive,,,,thanks,,mjb Hi Bufferstop ,,,,you don't need to reply,after posting the question I used my loaf and ...

Buelligan, if you think £150 is expensive, don't let your son find out about the Black Label ! :lol: Thats ok, he wouldn't want 1 of those, its not green! Bulligan,,,,,Dapol black label do have a green one ,apple green ''''Golden Eagle ''',I've got one ,there is one on eBay at the moment starting a...

Hi Bulligan,,,,,,sounds like one of the screws have undone it self ,,have you checked to see if one is missing ,when you've calmed down take a look at the damage ,I'm sure you could straighten the rods to a satisfactory level and get the loco up and running ,,,I've had this happen on a few Locos ,I ...

Yes it is streamlined. Looking at these comments does this mean I should delay sending it back. because after I remove the bubblewrap, it will run clockwise and anticlockwise providing I only run it on 1st radius curves? The box says the mininum radius curves are 438 mm so I was never going to run ...

Just removed the bubble wrap and now he runs clockwise,,,,can't blame Hornby for trying to protect the loco in transit but I'm sure they could put a little note in the packaging to let you know ,,

Well,well,well,,,i took delivery of my Princess Coronation King George V1on Monday ,,,the strange thing is ,if I run it clockwise the front pony truck lifts off the rails on 3rd radius and back on the rails when it enters the straight ,but if I run it anti clockwise it runs a treat ,,,time to look f...

Raf,,,,me being the O P,in my post I revealed the four TTS Locos I have and what controler I'm using,,,the question is Raf , if your DoG runs fine without any changes ,what controler are you using,,( my guess is the Elite )

Thankyou for your replies,,,

Hi ,,,,I've got four TTS trains ,Gadwall,Duke of Gloucester,Tornado,and C of the North ,,,,all of them suffer with the jerky running at slow speeds ,changing the agorythm helps a little but doesn't clear it altogether ,I've often wondered if it is down to the make of controler ,,I'm using MRC Prodig...

Hi,,just done a quick Google search and there are a few to look at ,one in particular is DSE showcases ,they might make to your size requirement,,,,could be expensive though ,,but would be worth it to have gauge 1 loco to display ,,,hope this helps ,,,mjb

2 x 1 was never ever true size. Most wood yards would say it was planed all round (par) from 2 x 1 rough cut stock. My next board will be at least 12mm ply top with a similar or more thickness ply frame as I found the softwood timber framing never held its shape over time, resembling those expensiv...

Just an update on my prodigy units. Gaugemaster was happy to repair these at a price which meant I either had to post them or take them down in person. However I decided to open up the units and then unscrewed the motherboard, I then decided to drop 2 or 3 drops of meths down each side of the rotar...

[quote="End2end"]I'd say if they have Hornsby printed on the bottom, you've been sold a googly.
Thanks

Oh yes,,See what you mean ,,don't know how I didn't notice that

Hi ,,,just bought a set of these and I am convinced they are made from the tooling they used back in the 80s/90s,I'm probably wrong but I can say they are no different to the blue and silver lined ones ,I can't compare them to the old red and gold lined ones as I've never had any but they no doubt c...

I had an email from key publishing advertising this offer of a brake tender ,never heard of it / one untill now,apparently they were built back in the early days of diesels to help them stop because there stopping ability was poor when hauling heavy freight,anyway it is produced by Dapol for a joint...
