    One of the problems of buying second hand I'm afraid. I often wonder why locos lose their valve gear etc.

    What decoder do Oxford recommend?
  3. walkingthedog
    Is it not possible to remove the excess?
  4. walkingthedog
    Nothing replaces a book. Electronic versions are fine until you want to lend it to someone.
  5. walkingthedog
    I'm afraid you're right Rob.
  6. walkingthedog
    I don't understand why you thought it would be difficult! 🤔

    I have electrofrog points on my layout and all locos cross them without a problem, so they would be an advantage. No complicated wiring at all. Just insulated rail joiners on each rail on the frog V. No switches or point motors.

    Far better to ring them. They don't have a lot of staff and probably get far too many emails.
  9. walkingthedog
    What time did you email them?
  10. walkingthedog
    I suggest you contact Hornby and ask them. If they will I guess it depends how much it will cost. A new one might be better. Does it work?
  11. walkingthedog
    If you tell us what the locos are or post some pictures we may be able to help.

    Not sure such a thing exists. They often have large buffers. Small drawing pins would make good replacements.

    Don't see it as a problem. Very happy with my OO trains. 😆
  14. walkingthedog
    Not just LEDs on their own. The switch only makes a momentary contact so the LED would just flash on for a fraction of a second.
  15. walkingthedog
    And if a CDU is fitted wouldn't that destroy the LEDs?

    My loco found it's way to a member's grandson and I believe is now located in Switzerland. No I didn't make a penny on the transaction. Very pleased.

    To add to Chris's excellent reply, a lot will also depend on what locos and rolling stock you are running. Longer products will tend to cut the corner and hit the plaform.

    Thanks John. Shame they didn't stay with it.

    If only you guys had adopted OO instead of that foreign HO 😆 Considering that in OO the USA loco would be even bigger, the size difference is incredible.
  20. walkingthedog
    Two on eBay.

    My guess is that most of the book readers would have been happy with a Black 5 as long as it was the correct colour and had the correct name.
  22. walkingthedog
    Price differences are interesting. Of course the Hall version is more accurate. Not sure why they used a Castle originally.
  23. walkingthedog
    Gosh I hope they have more than one van.
  24. walkingthedog
    And me. Found somebody who would like it.

    That is a very stupid post M-R. If modern Hornby products were made in the UK we would all be very happy, but they are not, so we have no choice other that to give up the buying new models or buying old second hand British made models that many of us already have.
