Hornby rolling road

Hi, have just bought R 8211, after massive internet search from Italy. However, no instructions are in the box. It looks fairly self explanitory, but does anybody have a set they could copy. thanks. john

There are no instructions John apart from what is on the box, i.e. It can be used for DC, DCC and live steam, the only difference being which controller you plug into it.

 

Its only drawback straight out of the box is if you want to test diesels with both bogies powered, else single motor bogies you put on the rollers and the dummy bogie goes on the track.

 

I modified mine by chopping a bit off the track to make room for extra rollers (I have loads of new spare rollers) to be able to run diesels with both bogies powered.

 

sometimes the rollers can be sticky to slide for adjustment, so I have applied a little vaseline to the frame, which lets them slide better.

Due to a logistics error some time ago I have more than enough rollers.

Hi John

It sounds like I did the same modification as RAF96.  I bought an extra set of rollers (R8212).  I also found that the rollers are difficult to move but I use Silicon Spray, masking out areas I do not want sprayed.  I prefer this because it dries and does not leave a sticky surface.
