I have recently purchased two Bachmann class 166's in first Great Western livery. I always move the powered chassis from the centre into one of the driving coaches, which is quite easy to do. I do this will all three car DMU's as it then allows the set to run as a 2 car set if you wish. I Fit a Bachamnn function 3 decoder on the powered chassis, as per the intructions which I printed off from: www.electricnose.co.uk/dcc/bachmann 158
Using minature connectors and spare drawbars from Heljan class 47's (just the right length) I through wire to the other trailing coach. I have done this on numerous class 158 and 159's, which have the same chassis arrangement as the class 166's. However, with the 166's, the red tail lights are very bright, and the white lights quite dull. I have never had this happen on the 158's etc, and just wondered if anyone has experienced the same problem.
