Jeff Mennell Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 WTD, just looked up the price of one of these. Crikey, expensive for a 0-6-0! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walkingthedog Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 £83 not a lot by present standards. It is heavy and very detailed. Move veeery slowly. The latest Hornby CL08 is £140, that’s another 60 quid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Mennell Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 WTD, that's a lot cheaper than the ones I have seen on ebay 😀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walkingthedog Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 Why look at ebay, its an auction site and things will be dearer. Look at Rails of Sheffield etc. 😆 😆 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellocoloco Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 Just arrived from ebay.es - Mehano Renfe 333.313.5...............looks much like a Class 67 and the real ones were being produced along the 67s in Valencia in 2000. Runs great and goes well alongside the other couple I have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
81F Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 Just bought the Oxford Rail DCC ready Dean Goods. Although it will run on a 9V battery with no problems it shorts my Hornby Elite. I've phoned the supplier and will be sending it back today. All other locos run on the track so I do not think it's the layout Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrissaf Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 I think as far as I can recall. this is the first time that I have posted in this thread. Just ordered this, fitted with Loksound V4 decoder & lightly weathered. Now looking out for some Yellow NetRail rolling stock to go with it../media/tinymce_upload/a6248cbc2c360fdb473324d8d56e7cc5.jpg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUDI MAZ Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 Got the GWR class 800 this morning. Wow!. Really raises the bar in many ways. Just stunning. Will hopefully have some film of it on my layout this weekend.MazHILLSHOT TRAIN LAYOUT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LCDR Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 After a long time with buying nothing at all for my model railway a pre-ordered Hornby R3450 class H 0-4-4T in SR livery arrived yesterday. This nicely matches my Bachmann type C Rover set in lined green, and I now have examples of the same train in SE&CR, SR (pre-War) and BR early liveries.

Jeff Mennell Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 Bought these three Triang 0-6-0 rolling chassis for £9.00. I'll file down the wheel flanges as this method seems to work fine with the track I use then I'll get some x04 motors to get them moving and buy a few bodies./media/tinymce_upload/d813a4aa239e72e234329d7e03fd8028.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbo1707820979 Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 Hi JeffWhat method do you use for filing down the flanges to make sure the wheels are still perfectly round ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Mennell Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 I use a square modellers file and do it by eye. Then rub it over with an emery cloth then a track rubber followed by a polish using car metal polish cream. Having said that I checked these on the layout, and strangely they don't catch the chairs! So no need for me to do these three after all. The points will need the plastic troughs filing slightly but that's par the course for a lot of my engines as they tend to be mixed ages.

RDS Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 ... to make sure the wheels are still perfectly round ? He is filing the flanges (not the area of the wheel that runs on the track), so it is not essential, for running purposes, that they are perfectly round.

Jimbo1707820979 Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 @Jeff@RDSThankyou both for your posts. I have a number of older locos so I may undertake this if I get any running problems, particularly on points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
