Not if you do it gently. Do it from the bottom so that if you do damage the edge of the face a little then it won't be visible.

They actually just popped off really easily. I'm guessing the glue or whatever is not that strong. I just put a flat head screw driver under the face em wherever there was a gap and twisted slightly.

So my fleet of troublesome trucks is expanding and I have started to swap a few faces around to give them more variety. So far I have swapped the TT #1 face with the TT #4 face, and a TT #2 face with a TT #3 face. Currently my fleet is as follows

TT #1
TT #1/ with #4 face
TT #2
TT #2/ with #3 face
TT #3/ with #2 face
TT #4/ with #1 face
And S.C.Ruffey as well.



More to follow soon too.

I know the toy fair is an exciting event for the Bachmann range, so I have my own reasons why I'm excited for the toy fair. I want to know out of curiosity. Why are you excited for the toy fair?

When is the toy fair?

That's interesting thought actually. I have not seen any seats and tables in the Bachmann Red Coaches looking through the windows. I am not prepared however to open them up to check, so if you are going to take them apart, please tell us Titanic5972 if they do or not!

It would be very obvious if there was interior mouldings so if you can't see any then there aren't any.

It's my own personal opinion Jacob. I am allowed them. I'm not telling everyone else they have to change the colour of their red coaches. It is my own choice to repaint them.

Do the red Branchline coaches have interior mouldings? And Annie and Clarabel for that matter?

Yes the rooves will definitely be painted grey as well. Will definitely post pics when it's ready

I'm planning repainting the red coaches to something closer to what was in the original tv series, more of a mix between BR Bauxite Brown and GWR Indian Red. They look far too bright for my liking.

they make a very rare appearance in the us market...

Where do they show up, and where would be the best place to find them?

eBay is probably your best bet

Yes it is off topic and yes it is worth getting the Bachmann ones. The Hornby troublesome trucks, along with Toby, Bill, & Ben are hopelessly over scale, to the point of looking ridiculous. Switch to the Bachmann ones. And when you do, post it here.

As far as I am aware, none of Bachmanns Thomas range is DCC Ready or fitted. The sound Thomas may be but I think that's just DC.

I just bought today the Coal Wagon with Load and Troublesome Truck #1 NIB at a train show.

Is the coal wagon noticeably heavier than the normal trucks? Wasn't sure if the load is Moulded as part of the truck or removable.

Thanks Sodor Perfection. I'll give that website a look in.

Just search in Google for YouTube - MP3 converter. Loads come up
