  1. Thanks for the info. Very useful I’ll ask the relevant questions
  2. Hi is it possible to revert back to DC on a DCC Bachmann DP1?
  3. Thanks all for the info. Most informative
  4. Hi can anyone tell me if the Deltic DP1’s power unit was used in the 55’s with or without modifications, or any other Loco?
  5. Thank you both for your added comments as all these posts give me a much better understanding of the process and it gives me confidence in modern newer metal models which I’m sure are of excellent quality using today’s standards of production.
  6. Thanks for the reply LT&SR which is extremely informative. In your opinion is there any storage conditions and maintenance of this type of model using this material that might help reduce any potential long term effects?
  7. Hi does anyone know if the new DP1 in metal (Mazak?) will have the same issues of old, or have processes improved today?
  8. Thanks BM and all those who have commented
  9. Thanks all for the info. how and where do I find a the correct blanking plate?
  10. Can I run this model on dc or do I need to find an appropriate blanking plate?
  11. Thanks 96 RAF for the link. Most useful
  12. Thank everyone who contributed here.
  13. Should have read 32-520 v 32-522 Mod note - use the three dot context menu to amend it.
  14. Hi Can anyone tell my the difference between these 2 Bachmann models and what will make the new Hornby model stand out from these?
  15. More interesting comments, Thankyou all.
  16. Thanks for the interesting replys Taking TH’s point. Does Mazac deteriorate over time or the storage environment I wonder? BM also metal tenders seem a great idea? I know weight might be a problem but I’d take that chance.
  17. Did/does Hornby manufacture any other Diecast or metal locos, other than the latest DP1?
  18. Hi is the new £300+ DP1 diecast body or plastic?
  19. Hi all, what is the Peco equivalent to the R8073 points, which seem more positive on their switching action? Or is there anyway to make Hornby’s a more positive action and better electrical connection?
  20. Thanks for all you info. A lot to take in? Atom 3624, mine has the lamp bracket holes but no lamps and the side windows have holes but no wind deflectors. The only holes near the cylinders I can are one small one on the loco body each side.
  21. Hi anyone let me know what dates R2339 Mallard was manufactured?
