Testimonials

I thought that it might be useful to put up the unedited comments which many kind Hornby Dublo enthusiasts have made in emails after receiving their spare parts, since you can’t see feedback in the way they do it on some other websites. Hope this helps.

RS (United Kingdom): John, Looking through your long list of well-deserved testimonials you really don't need another but here goes. More years ago than I can remember I bought a top motor housing for an original Hornby Dublo gronk. Bought around 1959 while I was still single and my pockets did jingle, it never worked properly - stuttered and sparked and shorted out somewhere around the brushes if you didn't turn the controller off pronto. I put the piece in the HD spares tin and forgot about it - chickened out more like. Anyway yesterday emptied out the tin - full of couplings if you need them - and decided to have a go. Bit of a fiddle to get the top of the armature shaft into the hole, (is there supposed to be one of those tiny ball bearings up there?) Bit of adjustment to the top screw, and off she went as sweetly as anything, so many thanks-- wondering how much of Hornby and Bachmann's current output will still be running in 2080? My great grandson is delighted with an HD class 20 nearly as old, fitted with new couplings to suit his stock, but I shall keep my gronk!

 

CG (United Kingdom): Hello John, Package arrived safely yesterday thank you. Kind regards,

MW (New Zealand): Good afternoon John The three-rail pick up set for the Co-Co diesel arrived in the first post after Christmas and has been installed. All went well.  As I think has been mentioned elsewhere, the flat brass springs needed to be given a slight “set” so they would hold the spoons firmly (but not too firmly) on the track, but that was no problem at all….Best wishes for the New Year

The locos are relatively easy to convert and even the old points will work with appropriate decoders. I then got into building brass kits. It’s given me a great hobby. Thanks for your help

KW (United Kingdom): Hi John, Thanks for letting me know, the items arrived this morning – thanks for sending them so promptly. I can now get on and convert my second Deltic to three rail. Genuine three rail Deltics, particularly the two tone green ones, seem to sell for enormous amounts of money, but thanks to your conversion set, it’s easy to convert two rail models. I changed the insulated wheels for non-insulated ones on the pickup bogie on one Deltic, but I thought I’d try using silver conductive paint this time and see how that works. Thanks again and best wishes

LJ (United Kingdom): Hello John Just to confirm that the items arrived at the weekend and have been fitted to the BoBo diesel. All appears to be OK and the engine runs a great deal better.

IC (New Zealand): Re: Wider 1.70mm tyres: Hi John, received tyres today. Fitted them to the Airfix Royal Scot. First run the tender waddled around and fell off at a point. Rechecked and carefully lined up all the tyres in the middle of the wheel. Made sure they were all seated correctly. Tried again. Success. Loco ran perfectly. Ran through cross over in both directions, did the same with 5 coaches on. Will gradually fit them to all the Loco's over the coming days. So thanks so much for all your trouble. Regards,

 

GW (United Kingdom): RE: Small N gauge tyres Hi, I recently bought a set of n gauge diesel traction tyres. Just to let you know that I have changed the tyres this afternoon and it has made my lima deltic a totally different locomotive. It is at this very moment pulling 16 coaches with very little effort and a good turn of speed. Many many thanks,

 

DC (United Kingdom): Hi John, Lights received today thanks. Best wishes,

 

JB (United Kingdom): Thanks John Brushes and springs arrived this morning, great service. Kind regards

 

MO (United Kingdom): Bought a set of traction trees for my lima Cl 86s.  both now running like a dream. Excellent value for money.  Thanks very much

 

RL (United Kingdom): Dear John Re: 1.70mm tyres for HO Japanese bullet trains: It’s taken me a while to get round to it, but I finally had the opportunity to fit the tyres to my collection of 1960s/70s Japanese Bullet trains.  I have 7 powered units in total, plus a couple on non-powered dummy locos and some intermediate coaches. Some of the powered units had a few viable tyres but most needed replacing.  It was a fiddly little job but it was well worth it as they are all running fine now. I also have plenty of spares for when the remaining original ones need replacing and for other similar maintenance jobs. The powered units can run in pairs, one at the head and the other at the tail of the train, rather like the InterCity 125. In fact, 2 engines are needed for longer trains.  As I think mentioned before, these are not fine models by today’s standards but they look great and now run very well. The powered units also have an operational light at the nose. I have the set below plus extra individual components. Thanks again for your help and advice with the tyres. Best regards

 

FB (United Kingdom): Hi John Thanks for the parts 08 shunter never ran as good as it does now and 6 of cities/ duchesses so smooth. I wonder if you can help me. I have a wrenn class 20 which has been stored since 84 I have got it out of box and notice I have lost the buffers on the body. Have you any buffers or point me in the right direction where I can acquire a set for it please.

Thanks again

MH (United Kingdom): Dear John I've now got 4 engines working and am moving on to the non-runners!  I will need to replace 2 faulty armatures, P16 - 1 short  and 1 long.  From your photos they both appear to be coarse thread.  I have them to hand and will return them to you when you send me an order/invoice so that you can send me the right ones. I also need one pack of small ball bearings - D85. The neo magnets you sent me work a treat!

 

MM (Republic of Ireland): Parts came this morning safe and sound, thank you.  I am looking for tender for 8F ,do you have one. Thanks.

MG (United Kingdom): Hi John, Just to let you know I have received the goods without any problem. Thanks until next time,

 

SH (United Kingdom): Hello John! Many thanks for the Hornby Dublo parts which arrived in the morning post. The armature exceeded my expectations, it looked “new” and was quickly fitted with a new top bearing (the bottom one looked ok and the ball bearing was nice and shiny).  The new brush tubes were fitted (both insulated from the chassis in anticipation of a DCC chip) and the new brush springs and brushes. Half an hour ago I bench tested the chassis which worked perfectly! After a very light lube, it was so quiet I could hardly hear it!  A dead “City” has been revived!!! Now all that remains is to fit a Lenz 10231-02 Decoder! Thanks again for your help and you brilliant service! Best Regards

 

PF (United Kingdom): John I received the replacement armature yesterday morning and fitted it last night.  The loco now runs very well. It never had run properly, even when new, and I suspect the old armature must have been a “Friday afternoon Monday morning” job. Best wishes and thanks for the assistance,

DA (United Kingdom): Hi John, thanks loco arrived this morning,that was quick! Very happy with it dispite its battering.Will restore as 34042 as the only undamaged part is the smokebox door with original number intact.

Hello John Many thanks for sending the armature so quickly, my Duchess is now going better than ever with the armature and new magnet. In fact it must be 50+ years or more ago that my father bought me the engine, and I can remember the disappointment when it only just crept around the track and I went back to using the old shunter!  There must have been a fault back then, only taken 50 years to fix it!

Many thanks again All the best

Thank you very much for your kind assistance. Could I now have the last bit (just found)just one of : -   Screws and nuts for CoCo and CoBo couplings Everything is now fine and the loco not only runs superbly but also looks the bees knees. Hope to hear from you soon,

 

PF (United Kingdom): John Parcel arrived safely yesterday.  Many thanks for the speedy despatch. I’ve fitted the new brushes and magnet to Bristol Castle.  It now runs well and smoothly, perhaps a little slower than I remember, but a touch of oil on the bearings might improve that.  Dorchester now runs (it didn’t move before) but slowly and a little hesitantly.  I think it was like that many years ago and needs further investigation.  I’m impressed with the new magnets and it now apparent that the originally fitted ones have only a very little residual magnetism. Best wishes for Christmas and the New Year.

 

AB (United Kingdom): Good evening John, Just to let you know that the package arrived this afternoon in spite of the weather safe and sound, looking forward to fixing the locomotive. Have a great Christmas and a happy new year,

DW (United States of America): Hi John I received the parts today. As usual they are quality items. Thanks for the 2 extra pickup spring wires. Now that I know what a good pickup looks like. I think I can salvage the old one. Always nice to have a spare on hand. The wheel hangers looked real good. Are they NOS or repros? Most of the couplers I have replaced is due to the vertical uncoupler stem has been cutoff or broken off. I have a little jig I use on my drill press to remove the coupler rivet and press in a new one or the old one again if it comes out clean. At first I used my rotary tool to grind out the old rivet. But that was messy. Thanks again for your prompt response to my request. Cheers

BQ (Ireland): hi john received thanks kind regards

TW (United Kingdom): Hi John Parts arrived today, locos done and dusted Many thanks Regards

RS (United Kingdom): John - who on earth thought of those tiny ball bearings at the top of an N2 armature? Finally got round to putting in one of those you sent me - what a fiddle! Anyway, at last my N1is done - HD N2 chassis with flanged centre drivers from an R1 tank; new cab made from brass button stick for front plate, plastic metal for the new shape, your extra powerful magnet, microclear cab windows, and after God knows how many years, she's done and I like her! Thanks for your help with spares.

TD (United Kingdom): John, Arrived at lunchtime and now fitted. Many thanks

TD (United Kingdom): John, Parcel received today. All OK. Minor problem the brushes for the half inch motor do not fit the BoBo. No need to send them back as I have 5 or 6 locos that will accept these brushes, Question is do you have brushes for BoBO they are about 3 - 4 mm longer than the half inch motor ones. Those traction tyres looked very small but fit perfectly one down a few more to do.

JE (United Kingdom): Dear Mr Holland I am pleased to report that goods arrived safely this morning, thank you. Yours sincerely,

RS (United Kingdom): John, Just wanted to thank you for the spares you sent some time ago. I finally plucked up courage to tackle the replacement of the flangeless centre drivers with a spare flanged pair left from a rewheeled 0-6-0 chassis. Bit of a fiddle tapping one out first, replacing it, fitting one of your pins to maintain the quartering, then doing the other and trying to get them pressed on with the correct back-to-back. New magnet in - they sure are powerful! bit of an oil round and off she went. Slight wobble on one of the centre drivers which needs careful adjustment and off she shot with our breakdown train. Very pleased with the overall results, bearing in mind that this conversion from H-D's rather inaccurate N2 to the prototype N1started in 1973, the loco probably being 50 years old now. Wonder if today's plastic will last as long! Keep up the good work. Regards

DA (United Kingdom): Thanks John, Tender arrived today,just the job. Thanks again,

FM (Spain): Hi, John: Thanks for sending the armature which arrived OK, safe and sound. It seems a masterpiece of miniature engineering and a work of art.

AM (United Kingdom): Absolutely brilliant: this chassis came to me in pieces around 1970, passed to my mother from a friend of hers whose son had "grown out of trains". It's miraculously survived the past 40+ years of house moves and family and, thanks to you, is now complete and running again. It came with an equally mis-treated N2 and a Castle - two more projects now so I'll no doubt be in touch.

DA (United Kingdom): Hello again John, Part arrived today,thanks very much .This one is in better condition than the first one apart from the attempt to convert it to two rail running.It needs little work to put it back to 3 rail so could you invoice me for the following parts.

SK (United Kingdom): Hi John, Excellent service indeed, the magnets arrived Monday and I fitted to the Montrose and 2-6-4 this evening. The 2-6-4 runs very well now, 21 petrol tankers and guards van at about 25 amps with good speed and power just like it did 58 years ago. I cleaned the track with lighter fuel and oiled all engine moving parts plus truck axels so that everything was in good working order for the test run. I am very pleased with the results. I think this also demonstrates that track and the H&M controller are also in good order as well as the train with its new magnet. Very pleased indeed.

DW (United States of America): Hi John Received the parcel today. All is well.

MB (United Kingdom): Hi John, Many thanks for the spares, the 8F is now back running on 3 rails. My Castle has been modified in the past by removal of the plug and socket and direct wired. Are the plug and socket available separately should I be inclined to put it back as original? Kind regards,

MH (UK): Hi John, Just to let you know all received yesterday. Many thanks for your prompt service. Best wishes

RT (Netherlands): Hello John, Received the traction tyres today. They work perfectly.

DA (United Kingdom): Hi John, Thanks for the A4 body, its better than I thought. The rather nasty varnish rubs off quite well with T cut+fine steel wool+lots of care!, revealing the origonal Garter Blue. I can also adapt it to fit a Hornby chassis, so will be looking for a complete running 3 rail chassis soon. Thanks again,

DC (Canada): Hello John: Your package arrived today and it was beautifully packed. Thanks so much. I immediately went down to the workshop , got out the Co Bo body and went to work. The spare wheel bogies worked a treat. The wheels came off nicely with the puller and I rewired the chassis for 3rail. I had to make the insulation pad under the 3rail pick up out of one from an old 0-6-2 tank. After a lot of measuring and filing it went in nicely and I had the insulating collar that goes in the middle of the bogie casting. Then I lubed the chassis , cleaned the commutator, and off she ran so sweetly. I followed the directions for the glazing and that went well also. All very exciting John. I have wanted a Co Bo for quite a while, and now all the pieces fell into place. We'll stay in touch. Cheers and best regards,

GP (United Kingdom): hi john,pickups arrived today all ok.thanks

PC (United Kingdom): Hi John Thanks for the speedy delivery of the armature and magnet. I was surprised and impressed by the strength of the magnet. I now have an 0-6-2 tank that performs very well. Now, I have another 0-6-2 tank, and a Duchess of Atholl, of similar age, both of which run, but extremely slowly. Would just fitting a new magnet speed them up? Regards

AT (United Kingdom): Hello John, Just a line to say I received the brushes OK. What a difference, I had not realized how worn the old ones were, I'll probably get some more off you, I have two other Castles and a 8F, all over 50 years old ! Thank you very much, kindest regards,

AN (United Kingdom): Hello John, Just a short note to let you know that my friends and I have virtually completed renovating the Hornby Dublo 3 rail layout, which had lain unused for the best part of 50 years. We were able this weekend to run 7 engines, with rolling stock, over the complete layout. Coupled with the neo magnets we purchased the replacement armatures you supplied for the Duchess and 8F have worked extremely well, providing a significant improvement in performance at all power settings. The 8F was able to pull 20 freight wagons with no problem at all. We also now have a fully operational single aspect colour light signal.

BH (USA): Hi John, Spare parts arrived today intact. They are a perfect fit. Thanks again. Regards,

AR (United Kingdom): Hi John, Just to let you know-the Co-Bo body arrived this morning. I think it looks better than shown in the picture! Many thanks

DA (United Kingdom): hi john bits arrived last week, thanks again for your great service.

PD (United Kingdom): Hi John All arrived safely. Thanks very much. Excellent. Best regards

MJ (South Africa): Hi John Put on the first of the horseshoe magnet replacements during the weekend. A very old Duchess that I bought second-hand some thirty years ago, but probably manufactured more than sixty years ago. Great improvement. I first ran the chassis with the old magnet and then compared with the replacement. Amazed that the armature, after a bit of coaxing, burst into life and ran beautifully. Binns Road really did make things to last.

MJ (South Africa): Hi John Collected the small packet from our Postnet today. All parts inside as ordered. Thanks.

RR (UK): Many thanks for the spares you sent. The neo magnets have worked wonders on the three locos – the Class 20 is transformed with the new chassis elements, tyres and magnet, making a very satisfactory purr when either hauling or running light with no wheel wobble; the 2-6-4T has been given a new lease of life while the N2 0-6-2 (bought new in 1949 as part of an LNER goods set and 2-railed with the 2-6-4T back in the ‘70s by DJH in Banbury) pulls a rake of 8 Mainline coaches up inclines of 1:60 as though there was nothing attached… the vertical armatures are not as quiet as modern can style motors but noise levels quite acceptable. Talk about rejuvenation – I would recommend these neo magnets implants to anyone.

DW (United Kingdom): Hello John, I received your package today. I am very pleased with all items.

JS (United Kingdom): Morning John, All items arrived this morning, safe and well packed. Thanks again for your service. where would H/D collectors be without you!!! Till next time. Best Regds

ST (Australia) Hello John, Just a note to say that the package arrived at 7.40 this morning in good order. I heard a gentle slide across the concrete on the front porch. There was not the terrific thump on the porch, like on Tuesday, when over 2.5Kg of books were delivered. I suppose all the fragile items go on top of all the parcels in the truck and are delivered first. It is a terrific looking engine and you have done a fantastic job.

MS (United Kingdom): HI John, Thanks for sending me the parts I ordered. Your service is very good and your website is great. The model now runs well after some cleaning up of contacts etc.

IR (United Kingdom): Hello John, Thank you very much for sending me all the Hornby Dublo spares I ordered on 27th January, processed and then paid for by me and despatched by you yesterday 3rd February. The spares arrived safely via Royal Mail special delivery at 0900 hours to-day - marvellous! So just 5 days from order to receiving the goods, brilliant. The other goods news is that my (1954) Hornby Dublo 3 rail N2 tank loco 0-6-2 and my (1956) Duchess of Montrose 4-6-2 are up and running, after many years of idleness in a siding (AKA a box!). Fortunately I remembered from my tender years, how to set the motors up and adjusted the securing screw for the armatures correctly after a few attempts to get them working efficiently! I am really 'chuffed' with the result and so will my grandchildren be. I haven't had terminal nuts on the power 'in rail' since I was about 10 years old - luxury! The next job is to convert some rolling stock, I have to Hornby couplings with the spares you provided. Please be assured I will be ordering more spares from you in due course - some rail repairs are necessary , so new fish plates and so it goes on! My railway operates without government subsidy, so it is a question of obtaining approval from my wife.

PF (United Kingdom): Hello John. Thanks very much for the spares which arrived yesterday. Have passed your details on to other friends who may also need some bits & pieces. Cheers,

TR (United Kingdom): Many thanks for the parts received on Friday. I now have my own 3-rail Dorchester all for less than a hundred pounds. Also the Wrenn wheels are a whole lot better than the plastic ones on the "genuine article" Great service as usual.

RK (United Kingdom): Success! The coupling is on - slightly looser than the one on the other end, but we tested it with a 2-rail and a 3-rail truck, and it hooked up without any problems. My smallest nail punch didn't do the trick at first, so I tried a 2" nail with a sharp point, and it started to open the rivet, after which the nail punch did the rest. Should the wagon tend to uncouple on points, for example, we can always give the rivet another couple of taps, but for the moment it's back in its box awaiting developments. My next modelling task will be to attach Tenshodo motor bogies to the bases of two Keil Kraft trams and then assemble them. That may be left for the long winter nights. First priority is to insulate and decorate the room and then build the table. Many thanks once again for taking me through the procedure so clearly and patiently and, as we say up here, lang may your lum reek. All the best

RS (United Kingdom): hi john, received motors today, they look brill, once again many thanks,

KT.( United Kingdom): John, received the carriages, many thanks, for what I want they are ideal, roofs are off, and will be resprayed, side panels reset, and paintwork can be cut to remove surface scratches and the rest is fair wear and tear...they will have a new lease of life, will use your site again and am interested in a few more old coaches, thankyou..

SL (New Zealand){ Hi John I don't know what you have done to the postal service because the parcel is here already !!! Two more things you may be able to help me with. All the buffer stops in NZ have disappeared and I need another 4 to complete this layout. Secondly I will delay the GWR conversion till last. If you should come across a body then it would be the real thing and that will save me converting a standard domed body so if you wouldn't mind keeping an eye out it would be appreciated I realise this is probably going to cost more than a standard body but I have seen one on E**y recently. Thanks again for a fantastic service Regards

DS (USA): Hello, John! I wanted to let you know that the motor arrived late last week, and I installed it this week on Monday. The engine now runs! Wooo Hoooo! I do have one question for you. As I've mentioned before, my model train experience has been limited to live steam engines in scales running on 45mm track. I have good success tuning them up. However, tuning up an HO electric engine is not something I've previously attempted. After installing the new motor, I see that at slow speeds the engine runs easily through about 1/2 of a driver revolution, and then not well through the second 1/2. So, it kind of lurches along at slow speeds. Before assembling it, I carefully cleaned all gombu that I could see/reach, and used small amounts of a good modeling lubrication oil. I've also checked all of the external "for show" drive gear rods, etc., and don't see anything binding. I know that the motor you send was a good runner, so I am not thinking it is the problem. Perhaps there's something I can do/check on the drive screw? If you have any suggestions, I'd greatly appreciate them! Many thanks, again, for providing such a wonderful service to this hobby! Steve (the owner of this locomotive) is *very* happy that it's running again! Cheerio,

DS (United Kingdom): Hi John, Arrived safely today, many thanks. I’m sure that you will be hearing from me again! Regards

GG (United Kingdom): Thanks for everything John, the items arrived this morning (Tuesday) and I'm very pleased. Kindest regards

TG (United Kingdom): Hello John, I just wanted to say thank you for the excellent quality of the rewinds on the two armatures, they look new. I have not had a chance to fit them yet, but I am sure they will breathe new life into an old loco. Best wishes

SL (New Zealand): Don’t know how you do it John!!!! Parcel arrived today. Many thanks

RB (United Kingdom): Hello John, Pick-ups received yesterday, very pleased with them. Thanks very much.

WC (United Kingdom): Hello John, Thanks for e-mail and all your help. I will keep your contact for any more wants in future but getting a Bristol Castle is really a bit of nostalgia for me. When I had my layout as a boy I always wanted one but could never afford it. Regards
