Lambeg man Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 This post rightly belongs in 'Services' forum but I can not get that field selected from the drop down list. CAN A MODERATOR PLEASE MOVE THIS TO A MORE APPROPRIATE FORUM. I have very recently purchased an old Triang/Hornby DMU cheap as chips, purely for the motor bogie. This however had the old 'Super 4' chunky wheels. To get replacement wheels I tried contacting a couple of parties that were recommended to me, but none even replied. Then I saw this guy advertising in the 'Railway Modeller'. Dave Good, trading as "Scalespeed", 32 Goldfinch Lane, Lee on Solent, Hants PO13 8LN. His website is www.scalespeed.co.uk. I sent him all four of my T/H DMU power bogies. For about £25 (including P&P) each, all now have Code 100 wheels, have been re-magnatized, re-brushed, cleaned, etc. and he also fitted extra wires to allow electrical pickup from another bogie. Two of them power my two BUT sets, the other two are headed for an MPD and a Class 70 projects which are under way. He does a big range of motor refurbishment. Turnaround time was about five days. I can not recommend Dave's services highly enough. 2 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lambeg man Posted April 3, 2020 Author Share Posted April 3, 2020 Thanks Jon. I'm in a mind now to send him some of my older Triang/Hornby, Hornby and a Wrenn steam locomotive chassis/motors to him for a similar re-wheel, re-magnetize and good clean up. The refurbished DMU bogies run like a dream, even without the extra bogie pickups wired in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
