Hi Philip and I’m pleased that you found the tip on using the tweezers handy, with my fat fingers then I find this is the ideal way for positioning those tiny screws, having a magnetic screwdriver always helps too. 👍🏻. Cheers. ………..Graham

No problem my friend and I’m pleased you enjoyed it! 👍🏻👍🏻. Cheers. ……….Graham

Thank you my friend and I certainly feel better than I did, the eye is healing up nicely but still not fully healed yet, another 6 weeks and it should be fully healed. 👍🏻. Cheers for now. ………..Graham

Hehe, love your style Anthony - Dr Foulston, I like that! 😂😂. Yes, it came working perfectly in the end and it didn’t take that long to do considering it was pretty much stripped right down. I fitted a new replacement smoke generator to the Silver Fox the other week as the old version was becoming unreliable and was giving out less smoke than normal so a replacement was need - it smokes more than me now! 😂😂. Cheers. …………Graham

Many thanks Dave for the kind comment - thank you. I’m really pleased with the end result of the Derby LWT and of course the shed area too although still a lot of work left to do on that yet but it’s getting there, that’s the main thing. 👍🏻. Cheers. ………..Graham

Hi Onno and thanks for the comment and I’m pleased that you enjoyed the video! 👍🏻👍🏻. Cheers. …………Graham

Hi Deano and many thanks for the kind comment mate and yes it really does need that sound decoder and a decent speaker, it would sound wonderful. I’m so pleased to see it running on the layout too - lovely. 👍🏻. Cheers. ………Graham

Thanks so much for the comment Susannah and glad that you enjoyed the video. I really want to get sound fitted to this as I had one before which had sound and it sounded wonderful. 👍🏻. Cheers. ………..Graham

Thank you my friend, I thought I may as well leave the crash in, just to lighten things up! 😂. But all seems to be going ok in the yard and the Derby LTW too. 👍🏻. Cheers. …………Graham

Hi Ronny and thanks for the comment, I don’t know very much about real trains or electronics but I do consider myself a good engineer so if anything phases me I just use logic to try and solve it. There are not many things I can’t repair as long as I have the parts - like the new PCB in this case. 👍🏻. Cheers. ………..Graham

Hi David and thank you for the comment, it’s greatly appreciated too. Yes, the front lamp fell a couple of weeks ago, i still have it so I just need to fix it back on. To be honest, I was really surprised to see that Bachmann had spares available for this Derby Lightweight and at very reasonable prices too, the PCB was only £15, considering that it had all the lights, connections etc pre-fitted then I thought it was a good price especially taking into consideration that it made the Derby😢 work as it should again - well worth the £15 in my opinion. 👍🏻. Cheers. …………Graham

Hi Stephen and thank you my friend for the comment and also for thinking of me regarding my eye which healing up lovely now. 👍🏻. I love these Derby Lightweights especially with sound and a decent speaker fitted - it’s got to be done! Cheers. ………..Graham

Many thanks Graham and yes it’s great to start working on the layout again, the eye is now healing up nicely after the operation although I was told that it still won’t be fully healed for another six weeks or so but that’s ok. 👍🏻. Cheers. ………. Graham

Hehe, she was giving it some wasn’t she but it doesn’t look quite as much when moving on the track. A bit different from the old unit I had in it previously, in the end you could hardly see any smoke. Cheers. …………Graham

Wow, thank you Trevor for your very kind comment, that’s really appreciated ! Cheers. …………. Graham

Thanks Mels, much appreciated mate! 👍🏻. Cheers. ……….. Graham

Hi mate and thanks for the comment, I wonder if there is a common fault with them but I must admit that I haven’t heard of it if there is. Anyway, this new PCB seems to have fixed the problem so I’m happy with it now as you are with yours! 👍🏻. Cheers. ………..Graham

Thanks for the comment my friend and I had thought about an entrance there, but that’s all it would be - just an entrance, everything else would be off the layout and left to the imagination. Cheers. …………Graham

Hi mate and I’m pleased that you enjoyed the video. I’m hoping to start work on the Gentry once again in April so not long now, it depends on the weather to be honest. 👍🏻. Cheers. ……….. Graham

Hi Andy and you’re absolutely right, those body shells are bu*^ers to get off and put back on again, you have to get the tabs exactly right. I got the smoke unit from my local model shop, luckily they had the correct number of Seauth unit in stock which surprised me, as you know, there are a few different versions, primarily in the voltage. But the Derby LWT is looking and running great now which really pleased me! 👍🏻. Cheers. ………..Graham

Hi mate and thanks for the comment. The cyclists are still on the layout and working well, I think the last time they were seen was on the Christmas video I did a couple of months ago. If you didn’t see it then the link is here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hq2IeLx_mq7Hj6c.htmlsi=o29O-8mUEnVXUf2d Cheers. ………….Graham

Hi Harry and thanks for the comment and yes, I could always do with spare decoders, never say no to those - thank you my friend, appreciate that! Cheers. ………..Graham
