hi all, I have a olton hall locomotive and Ive broken the loco connector between the tender and loco and need to repair this but I can't find a wiring diagram which wires connect

hi all, I have a bachmann class 66 with a HM7000 21pin TXS decoder, im currently having issues with it Im trying to run the loco in DCC mode I can control the lights and sound but I can't get the loco to move but when I switch the decoder back to bluetooth it works fine.

I have a Bachmann Class 66 fitted with a 21 pin TXS Hornby decoder fitted with a Power Pack but the sounds that it produes is sounds distorted and grainy, how do I correct this so they sound clear, can I fit a speaker to the Class 66 PCB

hi all, Im currently having issues writing cv's and loco addresses to decoders from a hornby elite controller, the firmware version is 1.45, im placing the loco on my programming track which is seperate from my main layout, when I try and read/write cv's or loco addresses the loco lights flash to say it read/write to the decoder but when I place the loco back onto the main layout it still has the default cv's and hasnt written the new ones. any thoughts of how I can get around this or the cause of the issues, the decoders I tried programming are ESU decoder and a Hornby R8249 8 pin decoder could it be just the decoders at fault or do decoders have a write protection on them that prevents overwrite?

Hi all, I was wondering if anyone can help me I have a touax kfa wagon and I’ve broken the nem coupling bars on it trying to fit a coupler to it does anyone know where I can obtain spare bars from without buying a new wagon. many thanks, David.

Hi all, I have a couple of super detailed clasugs 56 sound with the pressure contacts for making the directional light to work but there are not reliable I also have a newer DCR class 56 which has a socket underneath the cab to plug where a small connection with wire on fit into the cab which is more reliable and I was wondering I can buy these as a spare to convert my other 56's with the pressure connection or has someone on here come up with a better way of keeping the directional lighting working. Thanks, David.

I’ve decided to buy both a X6122 and a X9674 but the only thing I’ve noticed on the original motor is the worm is slightly bigger that on the X9674

Please can someone tell me what motor will fit a new hornby class 90 motor housing as my motor has just jammed on me and I need to find a replacement motor to fit. thanks

I’ve recently brought a hornby class 56 ESU 3.5 sound decoder without a speaker attached and I was wondering where I can attach a speaker to the decoder

Please can someone tell me if Hornby do fencing to go around there R462 & R463 curve platforms like the Hornby straight and ramp platform sections. thanks, DAVID.

Does anyone know who could possibly 3d print a couple for me and if so how much will I cost as I don’t have the expertise or a 3d printer to do this myself. thanks, David.

Hi to all, does anyone know where I could obtain 2 x nose cones for the Hornby Class 800 many thanks, david.

Stubaggieboy please can you provide the ebay link where I can purchase such pantographs so if and when I get my replacement loco back and if the pantograph breaks again I can replace it like you have done with yours Stubaggieboy

it is the new version R3751 Class 87 87002 "Royal Sovereign" in Caledonian. The pantograph is very flimsy I was going to replace the pantograph with one of the metal pantograph but I decided to send it back for a replacement but if that is the same then I will replace the pantograph with a Hornby operational metal one as the size is the same.
