We are the leading Model Railway club for Leicestershire and surrounding area, established since 1981 with a clubroom on the outskirts of Loughborough.

We run the renown Loughborough Model Railway Exhibition in August and are also behind the GCR Model Event in June .

We were an active club of around 50 members with a diverse rang of talents able to build layouts to exhibition standard.
We await the re-opening of the club sometime over the next few months.

So its down to modelling at home then....

Installing switchable dcc Tail lights in a Baccy 37...

1. Release the body, 2 screws either side of fuel/water tanks, 2 screws each nose end.
2. Remove the sound chip.
3. Unsolder the orange wire attached to position 'B' on each end of circuit board. You may need to release the 3 screws holding down the circuit board.

4. Attach short length of wire to to each orange wire(insulate the join), Green to speaker end, Blue to other end.
5. Now the challenging bit....solder the Blue wire to pin 14, Solder the green wire to pin 15.

6. Place a bit of tape over the 2 copper contacts as these are the cab light contacts. They are part of the cuircuit board and switch on unrealistically at both ends using Aux 1.

7. Replace soundchip, back on with body and your good to go.
8. Tail lights should now operate off which button is programmed for Aux1 and 2. If this is is not part of the original sound project then the cv's will need will need changing to take this into account. This can be worked out manually or using either a Lokprogramer or Sprog unit.
The benefits being in a club are the members experience with this and their Lokprogramer !.
Contact the Secretary below on how to join this merry band...
