Thank you.ordered and on their way What a palaver

Thanks, will have a look. Buffers on this model - dont keep body on like its Lima counterpart. If they did the ones from Peter Spares would do the trick

looking for replacment buffers for Class47 - Greyfriars Bobby. Recently bought some from Peters Spares but, although they fit the Lima version finr, the shanks are to big ti fit. I dont know the part number so difficult to search th interweb. Any help on this would really appreciated. Ian

email sent last night zeroOneman And thanks for info.

Smashing, Cant say fairer than that zeroOneman. Now all I have to do is see how to catch the eye of the forum admin chappie/chapess

I guessed as much 2eOdtoeric Thanks any way.

That's very kind. How much?

See above. 2e0dtoeric. Peco nickel silver rails.Spent a lot of time cleaning! Locos tested and running on test bed. Suffice to say I did all the obvious stuff before coming onto forum.

Thanks AugustusCaesar I'll have another look at casing as I didnt see any clips or obvious means of dismantling. If I get in I will follow your other suggestions. I am not averse to installing a new keypad, but balk at MERG's joining fee and annual subscription. Cheers

Hi RDS Locs all work fine, I have tested them (removed chip and run on DC) With Loco 1, it doesnt matter what is keyed in, Loc 1 runs. Funnily enough, I had started testing three of locos straight from the controller and had them running and then they just stopped. Went back to basics. Set up a circuit on DC, with non chipped locos and then when that working connected up controller. Had loco 1 running for about 20 mins. The yellow error light comes on a lot when keying in other locos and cannot be cleared unless switched off and on. My thoughts are that keypad is the fault and would have opened up if there had been easy access. For the record, I have built my own PC back in the day so a bit familiar with internal gubbins of techi things.

Hi folks Just starting again after 20 years. I have a Zero 1 system - I know there will be hands held up in horror but there is not an option to upgrade for time being. Thing is I am experiencing difficulty getting motors to run. I have by passed the track and using wires directly to locos. No 1 seems to run ok - some of the time, but others are refusing to budge. Any way to check what signal is being sent from master controller? I see that the case is rivetted together so I am guessing that gaining access to clean, check the innards is not possible. Your thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
