Junctionmad Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 What's the controller he's using ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noel Posted September 18, 2015 Author Share Posted September 18, 2015 (edited) What's the controller he's using ? A Hornby one from that era HM 2000 Which was a massive improvement on the 4 step Hornby Dublo controller I first used. I remember the unique click click click noise it made as you rotated the knob.

Weshty Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 Noel beat me to it by seconds http://www.hornby.com/uk-en/power-control/hm2000-power-controller.html It wil controll 2 locos and also has power for an extra slave unit as well as DC and ac power for peripherals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noel Posted September 18, 2015 Author Share Posted September 18, 2015 Mind you this 905 was a good system in its day. They could be plugged side by side into an array with rows of hornby point levers placed on top. I still have one but gutted the innards around 1978 to put a scratch built inertia controller in it. Mind you this was "THE ONE" everybody wanted but couldn't afford. It was the best of the best in its day. The HM& Duette Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WRENNEIRE Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 At 5.12 on the video there is a pal of mine called Barry Fentiman, a serious WRENN colector He told me he almost hit James May when he reached for the W2408 Gold Plated 0-6-0 Tank They were a non powered loco issued to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Hornby Dublo and only 140 were made making it the second lowest production run of any of the Limited Edition locos.

Weshty Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 "W2408 Gold Plated 0-6-0 Tank"? And there's me thinking it was a brass model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weshty Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 I love the gleeful way he wilfully threw the boxes away. Talk about poking the cage. He's a very naughty boy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trains are to be played with. People are always amazed when they see repaints,weathering conversions etc. Sold off most of my collectible stuff to gullible folk and made a few quid in the process!!
