Set in the West

@RDS I wanna remove the chassis to coat the wagon in grey and add a clay face to resemble a troublesome truck from TTTE. I don’t trust masking tape for some reason so I want to have the main wagon part on its own so I can spray paint it.

I want to try and customize a simple wagon I got from the Santa’s Express set, but having difficulty getting the chassis off. Any help is good, thanks!

With how old the ballast is, something could've developed in it to make it turn that. The PVA could have contributed to that as well. I'm not a modeller like everyone else but that sounds like a good theory to me. -Set In The West (LittleOldPug)

I agree with @ellocoloco. With the new "All Engines Go!" stuff, they wouldn't be bringing it back. Too childish, and possibly wouldn't be able to make the right proportions for how the engines look now.

Ayy, good on you! I can understand that he doesn't wanna talk about future products, just the releases or announced. Can't spoil any news, y'know?

I think there is coal that can be used thats in the model shops, but if that doesn't work, I dunno what will for ya.

I may or may not make a Percy the Small Engine custom using Hornby locos/tooling. If anyone has done this, please tell me what loco/tooling you used, and how it worked out. Anything and everything will help! LittleOldPug

Congrats man! It takes a LOT of time to get that many views, or get viral. Nice work, and keep it up!

Anything goes for other model railway brands on the forums. I've discussed Bachmann and Rivarossi here without problems. Promoting/advertising isn't though. LittleOldPug

My latest acquisition was a Rivarossi Burlington 550 diesel. It's quite old, and stutters at times, but runs very well! LittleOldPug

Yea, change the settings. It makes sense for me, since I do live in the USA. Dunno why it would do that for the UK/England. LittleOldPug

Maybe try and use the Furness K2? I feel as if people have said that already. Or a SE&CR Class D?

Not like I know much, but I don't know, maybe, or maybe not. It could be a bit of trial and error. The other/previous responses might help out more. LittleOldPug

elloloco My Rivarossi diesel is a Burlington 550, but an older model. And to everyone else, I will try to save for a new controller, but for now I'm stuck with the one I have. If anyone has any more ideas, let me know. I was offline due to being gone on holiday (Vacation in America), and couldn't get back. yet again, let me know if you have anymore ideas, anything goes. LittleOldPug (P.S/edit. I got the set in 2020, idk if that helps)

ellocoloco, To answer your questions, my controller is the standard R8250 that came with the Santa's Express, and with everything plugged in correctly, I have the controller dialed down to 0, but when I turn it, the light will blink then go off. Then, with the diesel, it will go for a while then cut out. I hope that helps, and that I explained it good enough. LittleOldPug

Hello, I have been having problems with the circuit I have and the controller. Anytime I place one of my engines on the track (e.g. My custom scrap Santa's Express loco) and turn the knob on the controller, the power gives out, same with my other model, which is a collector's club E2 0-4-0 ver., and the same problem occurs. But, my uncle gave me 2 pieces of Bachmann track, which I added to the oval circuit, and a Rivarossi American diesel, and all three of those aren't the source of the problem! Despite it's age, the diesel runs well, but my steamies cut the power, so, do I: A. Send 'em to the works, and fix them myself, or, B. Preserve them before it's too late? (Edward's Exploit, anyone?) I would like to have these fixed so they can run, but I'm gonna need some advice/help on how to fix the locos/power. Anything goes, thanks!

Hey Rayhaan Khan Just as RDS said, make sure there is power going into the track, and also see if everything is plugged in properly. If anything isn't connected properly, that may be the source of the problem. It also may be and issue withe the pickup tracks and/or the motor in the loco itself. LittleOldPug

I feel like I'm stealing and/or someone already said this, but it may be a wiring issue. I don't really know how Bachmann works as I have never acquired a loco from their brand. Like I said, it may be a wiring issue, and/or something with the motor, as you stated.

My only local hobby shop is HobbyTownUSA, and they don't hold Hornby sets, I'm looking for a Hornby set, keep in mind.

I am planning on purchasing another set from Hornby, but I would need more money and I do not receive that much allowance, so what is one that is cheap and good quality? Sorry I was offline for like 2 months, I will try to be more active.

we are still kinda early into 2022, but they probably got some plans already

2021 Collectors Club Loco. Got it in like, January or so.

Alright, thank you! That's all I need, and you guys didnt use the Bachmann Branch-Line Tracks?

no clue : |

I have been thinking to buy a Bachmann Train set but use my Hornby locos. The track type is the original Bachmann and not the Branch-Line brand tracks. If anyone has done this and knows if this works or not, let me know!
