Fishmanoz Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Is the loco not in the database yet CS? Otherwise why would you enter them manually? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LBSCR K Class 2-6-0 Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 hi all umm i was just wondering what this hobby would be like if hornby and bachmann joined forces and become 1 big manufacturer just think of how lovely the models would be and with all the money both of them get maybe models would be cheaper to buy and make Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walkingthedog Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Do you reckon it would make any difference. I think it would be worse, you need competition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Postman Prat Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Without competition we'd certainly be worse off. We'd have to buy whatever the company chose to give us and, as sure as God made little green apples standards would fall and prices would rocket. Sorry LB&SCR, but you're nice little dream would almost certainly rapidly become a nightmare !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

choralc Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Is the loco not in the database yet CS? Otherwise why would you enter them manually? I chose the model when adding the loco to my list and when I clicked on the default settings button it came up with Steam 1 which was generally wrong. I have since read the forum about re-updating RM even though I have the latest Revision but since I have already inputted the functions I'll wait for the next listed revision. Again even though the loco has travelled thousands of km it has worked well straight away though I did do a short run in on DC before using the run-in on rolling road program using RM.

Fishmanoz Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 If the loco is already there, chances are the background auto update process described elsewhere has already included the functions, no revision needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fazy Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 Just wondering when did this topic become a what if bachmann hornby became one.and or a RM problem discussion thread. Both good topics to discuss but can we have them on a separate page so people know where to look if they wish to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LCDR Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 Getting back on topic I am anticipating the arrival of a Hornby Dublo three rail 8F 2-8-0. (There you are Fazy I do like LMS locos :-) ) which I won at auction (No - Not Ebay!!) plus some matching goods wagons. That will nearly complete one of each original 3 rail Hornby Dublo locos, the only one I still need is the 'Castle'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robespierre Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 A bit more track so the locos can stretch their legs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LCDR Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 Getting back on topic I am anticipating the arrival of a Hornby Dublo three rail 8F 2-8-0. (There you are Fazy I do like LMS locos :-) ) which I won at auction (No - Not Ebay!!) plus some matching goods wagons. That will nearly complete one of each original 3 rail Hornby Dublo locos, the only one I still need is the 'Castle'. The parcel arrived yesterday. The loco was described in the auction cataloge as 'wire between loco and tender detached' so I had visions of a soldering job at very best and I bid accordingly. However the plug and socket were in good condition and the plug just needed pushing back. A quick test with an H&M Clipper and a loco cradle confirmed that I had secured a excellent bargain!I can't wait until the next toy fair or HRCA auction to see if I can get a 'Bristol Castle' to round off my three rail HD 1948 to 1958 collection. Not bad considering I only started collecting it last year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VESPA Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 A new Hornby 20T brake van. I saw an awful lot of Dublo 3 Rail and 2 Rail in the Dagfields Antique shops near Crewe. Some boxed and most well used. I did see a boxed D8000 loco at £66 not in bad condition though the box was missing the yellow insert. All the items were a tad over priced in my opinion.

2e0dtoeric Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 Just sent for the rival company's Jubilee 'Falkland Islands', dcc ready - weathered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graskie Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 Over the last month or so: A new early crest BR Standard Class 4MT specially fitted with 2 decoders for sound, directional lamps, stay alive, smoke, firebox flicker and crew. I sent off a BR lined green BR late crest DCC ready Class 45XX tank loco and had it specially fitted with sound, firebox glow, cab light and crew. A few days back bought a DCC ready late crest BR Midland Compound from my local model railway shop and have just ordered a new early crest DCC fitted version because I remember these running double-headed through Wellingborough years ago. The latter was online at the Sheffield store for a bargain price of £104 and free postage. Gradually getting a very specialist and professional guy to update my DCC ready and fitted locos with various enhancements, especially sound.

81F Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 Just taken delivery of two Wrenn six wheeled milk tankers in rather poor condition. Although intact, one has been badly repainted while the other has lost its transfers and is a bit grubby. I will probably dismantle them, t the metal bits in the Nitromors and modelstrip the tanks and repaint. Why go to the trouble you may ask. These old wrenn/hornby doublo ones have different brake levers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The son of Triangman Posted June 21, 2015 Author Share Posted June 21, 2015 Some more little purchases for the retro, this week so far I have bought an R.003 station set, some distant semaphores and some wagons. Here's some of the retro wagons, they need some cleaning which will be done as time permits./media/tinymce_upload/8561f98567e8bff5ea70098da72817e1.JPG/media/tinymce_upload/6fc3aac2a98012ae9a0348208f363bbc.JPG/media/tinymce_upload/09e85363874791329641448a2c29cde1.JPG/media/tinymce_upload/c1b8b0870dec6a76751f5de8d376f7b4.JPG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeoFF03 Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 I've just aquired one of the new Drummond 700 class 0-6-0s, and about a week ago I managed to get a trio of Maunsell coaches from a Hornby concession for a reduced price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LCDR Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 Just received a Baby Deltic and a North British Type 1 from Liverpool. I must say the Danish products are somewhat fragile with some of the detail detached. Not irretreivably so, they just clip back in, but I shan't be doing this until I have added a little superglue to aid adhesion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

81F Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 Just got the GWR Clerestory Third Class Coach - R4669 and GWR Clerestory Brake Coach - R4670, just wish I'd waited a week before ordering one and preordering the other at the same time so I could have saved postage! These are teally nicely finished and the paintwork really lifts what is effectively 1980s model. The only thing is the online catelog description says the R4670 "Entered Service: 1940s" which is not right. Cant get to my Jim Russells GWR coaches to get an exact datee but I would say it was certainly pre first world war and the livery is 1922-1927. Still very nice and will make my troop train up to it's full 5 coach length. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
