Hi Daniel, have done a video on how to do tail lamps on a tanker wagon. However the JJA took quite a bit of work, not very easy to explain sorry. Using what you see in the video but having to cut and amend items to be able for it to work on the JJA wagon. Cheers Peter kzfaq.info/get/bejne/eJqZqraH29LYgKM.htmlsi=G_1DtnGWAxMgZR94

Thank you John, TBH the infos out there, I got interested in them after getting hold of the Bachmann model thinking it was just another class 37 in a livery I liked and a friend told me I would have to get the different sound chips from my other 37s I have. So I looked into their story and even more the idea of doing such a modification to one of them as she is running on todays tracks making it a current modern image loco that is the era I model.

Hi Peter, great informative video, I would have invested in an Accurascale class 66 if they had kept the EM2 speaker compartment instead of engineering it out to fit an EM1, the Legomanbiffo sound file and the EM2 speaker combo is awesome in my opinion, fair play to Accurascale for doing the roof access and sorting out the not so great axle boxes, your video on fixing them worked a treat, Accurascale have made the Hatton’s model better in terms of the roof access but the speaker downgrade doesn’t do it for me, hopefully Bachmann will retool their model at some stage, wouldn’t mind one of those if or when they do, so I will stick with my old Hatton’s and Bachmann models for now, the Cavalex class 56 is very good indeed, I still love my Hornby class 56 as well, thanks for sharing.

The most worrying bit about the process is pulling the two flywheels off and pressing them back on again. A shame you didn't show that. I hope they are not so tight, there is a chance of distorting the shafts ? PS, it may have been my company that invented the skew winding - Lucas Aerospace as was. Everyone is doing it now it seems.

@torridonroadbypeterdixon4162 Ай бұрын
Hi Andrew, I did not take of the flywheels. When you slide the shell of the motor off one side and the plastic brush holder on the other side, there is just enough of a gap to get the point of the scaple blade in to clear the gaps of the commutator. Use a cocktail stick to lift the brushes back onto the commutator when done then squeeze the motor back together again Peter

Hello Peter, I have been tempted by these auto ballasters but I'm waiting to see if eventually Bachmann will want to off-load them to retailers, a bit cheaper (dream on William) .They are a bit cheaper now £85 but charging £40 to join the club to get them, is a bridge too far. Peter the loads look excellent, were did you get them from? if you don't mind my asking. I use Inox MX3 with CMX wagon and have inclines to upper level, and have never found any slipping Just my opinion and experience. Great informative and entertaining video, Bill.

Hi Bill, wagons are going for £70.79, which is what I got them for after having to join the club and that's £39. Loads are from e-bay and there's all sorts not just the auto ballasters and the sellers name is "smuggler7". Like you I am happy to say I have no traction problems using Inox which seems incredible seeing its a Cleaner/Lubricant. I haven't cleaned loco or rolling stock wheels ever since I started using it. Over three years ago now. Thanks very much for watching. All the best Peter

​@@torridonroadbypeterdixon4162 Hello again Peter, thanks for the reply and very tempting info. Well at £70.79 I decided to bite the bullit and buy 5. Alas after registering with Bachmann but NOT paying £39 to join club, I found the £70.79 was WITHOUT VAT so with VAT they are still £84.95, therefore have not bought any. Do you have a business so don't have to pay VAT or am I doing something wrong? As regards the Inox I have serious numbness/pins and needles in both hand (called peripheral neuropathy) so cannot clean track by hand, finding Inox has been a godsend, by just using Inox and CMX I haven't manually cleaned my track for 6 months and so far have had no problems.
