Well, found out that Bachmann don't provide spares for the horsebox. Be carfull with yours.

The spring that centres the coupling on mine has broken, is it unique to the vehicle, or has anyone seen something similar before, thanks?

All,

I've been out of the modelling loop for a while, however, diving back in with gusto now!

Will my 03 allow me to fit the Sapphire?

Hi,

Is this the same Millfield Road layout featured in the Horny Mag?

Well that answers that then, I shall choose another victim to try out the Sapphire.

Thanks all!

It came with goods set pack guys, will that help, but posting a piccie would be no problem.

Hi all :D Thanks to whom must be obeyed just received examples of Bachmann Mk1 horse box from TMC Lovely bit of kit BUT when ordered many months ago 19.99 but now 23.5 each The explanation given bachmann had a price increase which they passed on,take it or leave it :x I wanted these for the layout ...

Well, I managed to get one in the end... from this website's shop!

All, I bought a Sapphire Decoder to have a play with, and thought the easiest of my locos to use would be my Class 25, because it's so easy to open. But there's just a circuit board, with no chip, and it doesn't look like the installation instructions on the Bromsgrove Models website. Any ideas, tha...

All,

Recently, in either Model Rail or Hornby magazine, somebody had scratch built a raised oil or petol tank, made from lots of bits and bats, and I was wondering if it rings any dings with anyone here as to the mag and ish?

TYIA!

Thanks, but I was imagining something similar to this;

Hi,

Is there an RTR or kit of a coal conveyor type thing available, they look like a small metal hopper on wheels, that lifts the coal into a wagon or tender?

TY!

Give it 15-20 minutes then lift up the point by sliding a flat-bladed tool such as a wallpaper stripper underneath. Take care though - the rails can easi...

Hi,

I'd like to replace a point that I did badly when I first started my railway, I know!

Is there a way to remove the ballast, which was fixed with PVA mix?

TY!

Bizarre,

The same thing happened last week with mine. My mate has two, so I asked him to bring them in order to test his chip in my loco, but amazingly, neither of his two work either, on DCC!

Mike, what was the outcome of the decoder you purchased?
