UK Agent for Darstaed de Luxe O-gauge Electric Trains and Accessories
SOLD OUT
A complete range of pick-up bogies are now available at £20 each to convert Michaelas, Non-Corridors or Pullmans to 2 rail or simply light up when stands on the track.
Standard bogies with new wheel sets are £10 each. Why not convert your ACE coaches and eliminate that large side bolt head? LNER to order only.
These little red lampshades fit on the yellow LEDs in the Brighton Belle and Pullman sets. A packet of 60, more than sufficient for a set of 5 coaches costs £2.50, plus p/p. For Michaela owners, small packets of 12 cost 50p plus p/p. Spare circlips included, in case you lose one taking the roofs off.
A Brighton Belle or 5 coach Pullman set has 48 lamps and a Michaela 10.
Single coaches may be purchased, subject to availability. To reflect the inbalance this causes to production and stocks there is a £10 premium per coach.
So, a Pullman is £89 and a Non-corridor £75.
Both the standard drop link and push-pull couplings are available, £1.50 A PAIR.
Circlips, £1 for 4
Coachboards are £1 each. Very few left, best to get them while I have them as there will be no more. No Golden Arrows.
Postage per padded envelope is £1.00
Other spares poa.
I have a good supply of spare Pullman roofs, either singly (£6) or in sets of 5 £30.
State which Pullman and specify roof colour, white or grey.
Non Corridors. Raise both drop links and place one on top of other, to avoid interference with the electrical connections.
Brighton Belles. Performance can sometimes be improved by fitting non-insulated wheel sets in the pick-up bogie to increase the return circuit. These wheel sets are available at £5 a pair. But clean wheels and clean track is a much better solution!
Pullman electrical connectors. The position of the 2 plugs sometimes varies and makes them difficult to push in. Slacken off both nuts, insert in coach end and then tighten.
Based on the Hollandspoor Station in The Hague, Holland but not dis-similar to some in the UK, this magnificent structure looks marvellous on any tinplate or modern track layout.
Here are a few assembly tips.
1. First peel off the protective layer on all platforms/ramps using nothing sharper than a finger end.
2. Fit the weights under the platforms. Decide how wide apart they are to be.
3. When connecting ribs, columns and side bracing together, first connect rib to both columns, finger tight - then it stays in place when you add the side bracing. Sounds obvious but if you don't you will suffer much frustration.
4. Assemble all steelwork finger tight, line everything up and then spanner tighten.
5. Install glass panels and longitudinal braces finger tight, stating from the outside. Only tighten when all glass is in place.
6. Sit back, get yourself a drink and marvel at what you have created.
a) 262T boxes, red, with internal fittings. Ideal for a smallish loco £20
b) 3 coach boxes, grey, with internals, incredibly useful for transporting items to shows £20
