Thanks all for the comments. The set I have has the collect and drop off doors both at the rear of the coach with levers on the underside and the gangway offset from the middle at either end. Plus contains 2 stations with set track fitted for the bag to be collected and dropped off. ColinB I will try your advice with changing the wheels and go from there. LC&DR thanks for the part numbers for the track converters I'll look into that. if all else fails I'll just create a loop with no points! I do have photos to show the item but for some reason it won't let me upload!

Hi All, Not long about I bought R.23 triang Royal Mail coach set. It comes with two bays for collecting and dropping off the mail bags. I didn't realise though that the track the set came with is much bigger than modern track. Has anyone converted this set for modern usage as the coach won't go over points either without derailing and falling over. or is it a case of putting it on a loop without points?

Thanks both I'll have a look

Hi All, I bought a Hornby Thomas off eBay a few days ago, started running it in and the motor burnt out. After a bit of digging the Thomas I bought is R9067 and requires a type 7 X8202 motor. The question I have is Pete's Spares and various other model railway spares shops don't seem to have them in stock, is there a surrogate motor I can use Instead?

Thank you, got some from them :)

Hello All, I've been going through my collection servicing my locos and found that my terrier is missing one of its buffer beams. Does anyone know where to get spare ones? Google comes up with motors or second hand locos on eBay.

All thank you for your help greatly appreciated 😆

Hello All, I've been going through my collection and servicing locos. Started on my SDJR 2P (R2217A-PO) and while dismantling the tender motor for cleaning, 2 gears came out and I have no idea where they fitted. It looks like an enclosed ring field motor but with extra gears!/media/tinymce_upload/aa99eef94798547c2c4b367852e7a530.jpg Any help would be appreciated
