Re: Hornby: A model world TV series

Just caught up with the series, agree with some of the comments above, but overall it’s ok (just) and certainly not the best thing that Yesterday has done of late. Two comments, the voice over person is IMO appalling but worse of all who wants to build a railway upside down??

Sound functions

Thanks.

Re: New Rails / Dapol OO terrier

I phoned Rails this week and was told that there had been a slight delay due to an issue with the PCB but they still should arrive soon, I hope so as it’s my Christmas present 😊

Loco repair

I have a broken wire on a Hornby loco which needs replacing, it’s the connection between the engine and the tender, anybody know where I can get this done? I’m based in North West Kent.

Thanks

Re: Direction problem with new decoder

I’ve changed the CV number by 1 and all now seems to be ok. Easier than having to take the tender to pieces to turn the decoder 180 degrees
