Class 142 Pacer

Hi, Just reading these posts with interest because I fancy a Sprinter or Pacer for the Chicken Lines Parlimentary service when it commences next year. Is there space in a pacer to fit a lipo battery and receiver without chopping up the visable area inside?

What do you mean by plug/socket couplings?

Do you have a link to them and will they be suitable for the Class 142?

 

Something like these...

Other suppliers have similar In 2, 3, 4, more pin sets.

Pull the service sheets quoted above and make an asessment.

I think i'm just going to wait and see if a spare coupler shows up on the internet.

I'am not taking it into a model shop for a diagnosis that costs £20 and then say they can't fix it.

For now it's a non runner but i'm sure in time i'll be able to get it fixed.

If the Pacer had NEM pockets then Roco do these ...

Fortunately someone is coming over tomorrow to fit a coupler and connect them with wires.

Credit to the model rail community, you guys are awesome.

 

I'll update you with how it goes.
