Which set are the extra single coaches numbered for, i have 390 045 101 Squadron and would like to extend it.

I need a set of traction tyres for my dapol pendolino, anyone any ideas what else i could use i heard Lima class 50/55 would work.

I got one for crimbo this year and experianced the abouve problems, it seems to like finding faults in the track and as JonB says grippy traction tyres cause motor bogie to derail on quick pulkl up. A quick track re-lay and careful stopping solves all problems

That looks fantastic.

I've just chipped my class 47 (47035) and when i switch the lights on they all come on at both ends. I'm using a 3-function 21 pin decoder and have the same one in my 37/0 (37239) with no problems except the cab light don't come on.

For me its the class 158 and 180. Both can be seen around various locations in yorkshire. I never thought I would see class 158 and 180 side by side in Selby station

Theres a picture of 47017 on http://www.wnxx.com sat in booth scrappies with its bodyside doors definetly opened outwards. Have a look at the class 47 section in the gallery

I have had a J83 for best part of 15 years and had few problems with it. i would run it more but it hasn't got a body or couplings

I took the motor out and did a direct to track test and it spun its socks off. I found a motor from an old voyager that worked fine toll it hit the deck and tested that and it did the same, placed new motor in chassis and its just as slow as the old one. hairyhandedfool suggested lubricating the mot...

Its definitely slow slow, i've not run it for a few years and its slower than when it was new, i tried a couple of 158's on the same track and there fine.

I have a bachmann class 220 Voyager but the motor coach runs really slow. I have cleaned the wheels and track but no change.

Does anyone have any ideas of the problem and any remedies.

Cheers
