:D Morning, I have a new Hornby "javelin" and a"Royal Alex" Both Dcc Ready. I have fitted bachmann basic decoders to both. Programed them with my esu controller. The Javelin emits a loud hum.... The Alex has kangeroo petrol. Am at a loss what to try next.Any ideas please....... ...

I have a Dynamis controller that worked fine last night but today at an exibition it would not pick up a signal even when they were almost touching . I just tried it at home again and its all back to normal :? New batties were fitted in this week so i know its not them . The hall had a hearing aid ...

Thanks both, that's helpful. I hadn't realised that these models were so old...is there a site anywhere that lists what models were released when? I think I will let the Hornbys go and look for some other, better 47s to keep along with the Lima. Thanks, Steve Lima Class 47 released in 1990, and the...

Hi, I have one which is probally deemed as ''Clapped-out'' , ie runs but has virtually no power or speed, is it that the magnet has most likely reached the end of the road ? If that is the case has anyone any experiance of having the magnet re-magnitzed (perharps by some one such as scalespeed who ...

oggy wrote: Chipped with latest Hornby decoder - blue spot It would have helped if Oggy had told us what decoder he's actually using. Is it the R8249 4function Hornby Locomotive Decoder? If it is, then CV10 controls the Back EMF and is set at the default value of 128. You may need to lower this val...

Sounds like your having problems with the Back EMF. Try changing CV10 to the value of 10. That should sort the running problems out.

There appears to be only two screws in the centre of the chassis that holds the body in place.

There's no need to remove the body to remove both bogies on the Hornby Class 110. Insert a flat blade screwdriver against the tab and the chassis on the inner ends of either bogie and gently prise the tab inwards. The bogie will then come out with ease. There's only a single wire coming from the non...

Hello all. I have bought an Airfix Class 31, Cat. no 54101-9. She is in VGC for a loco that is over 20 years old and as Bigmet comments in his reply to this post body wise a good standard. He is also spot on when he says that " makes noises like a coffee grinder" this one is making the no...

Flashbang wrote Hi No, they can be left in place if wished. Mainly though they are removed along with all the capacitors. Where a printed circuit board is employed inside the loco, the chokes are often seen as small coils. They are if wished, removed and then linking pieces of wire soldered back in...

Flashbang wrote The two green coloured items aren't resistors, but are RF Chokes. But they do look like resistors. Remove them. Also remove the two yellow'ish coloured capacitors soldered to the motor casing and the motors wiring tags. Quick question Flashbang, I've removed the capacitors from some...

how do I do this? Using NCE PowerCab. Also are there any links on here which list all CVs of the main decoders? - partic Bachmann 36-553 To reset any Bachmann Decoder to factory defaults enter value 8 in CV8. A list of CV's for the Bachmann 3 function decoder 36-553 http://www.bachmann.co.uk/pdfs/3...

There's a photo of 37429 LL livery in ex works condition at Barmouth on the Rail Photo Archive site.
But doesn't appear to have the nose aerial.
