EdMarra Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 Just received a set I won at auction on ebay: it was listed as a Graham Farish Formo OO train set, but in looking at the photos I realized the loco was a 3-rail Trix Twin!Got the set, last night cleaned the loco and got the reversing unit working, and she runs beautifully!Going to work out a way to have one coupler work with the horn hook couplers on the Formo cars (which all look close to unused!) and get some Trix Twin passenger coaches!Also, I did notice that the Formo track is virtually identical to 3-rail Hornby Dublo!

The whole design, including how to get the shell separated from the chassis (the buffers are hand-tightened screws!) is fantastic!Inside, the motor and reversing unit are so magnificently compact, yet so easy to service! I was first a little cautious of working on it, but when I saw how accessible it all was, it was one of the best locos I've serviced!And running performance is fantastic as well! I love it!

TATICMOOR Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 My last Hornby bought item is one of four held over A4 Silver Jubilee Loco's R3306 "Silver Link". I just hope that Hornby will be releasing a re-tooled batch of at least five coachs in the pipe line to run with them soon.Admin: If your reading this, will there be new Silver Jubilee coach sets released for us?On another note or should I say manufacturers latest item. I received my SLW (Sutton Locomotive Works) Class 24 Limited Edition in Tin Box from Rail Exclusives. By jove what a beautifully crafted, wonderfully precented item, down to the SLW BR Standard Ticket Business Card. This boxed set is the best packaged item I have ever seen, even with its own display case included. A true heavy weight classic BR Green beast it is, and to beat in marketing terms with its value for money price tag in todays modellers market.

Bulver Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 Two Bachmann Pullmans, with lights, lovely looking models, great close-coupling option. The livery is generally very good, but the 'Pullman' logo over the windows is quite indistinct. Also, the lights are seemingly low-level power. However the price was such that I am not going to return to the supplier.Rod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NinthPlanet Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 I've been a bit naughty of late. A couple of weeks ago I bought a Hornby Battle of Britain '603 Squadron' and this week I bought a appropriately named (given current political events) King James I, which is being run in as I type this.

EdMarra Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 Just made an accepted offer on ebay for a Tri-Ang R1 set, complete with the grey ballast base track and R1 battery box. Loco will need cleaning and servicing, but told it does run. Coaches will need some cleaning and care, but for $40.00 USD, I'm not going to complain! Definitely the earliest Tri-Ang set I have now! The earliest I had before that was the R3 set (Jinty and freight wagons). Looking forward to getting this one and getting her in shape for running!

walkingthedog Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 That was my first train set. The coaches may have taken on the shape of a banana. 😮 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdMarra Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 That was my first train set. The coaches may have taken on the shape of a banana. 😮From the photos of this set, they're slightly warped, but nothing that is gone full banana. It's something I'll be able to run, and I have some dead straight coaches I can use in case from the same era. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
