Having just procured three LMS coaches from Neil Wood and having been the recipient of a pack of Flicker free from Richard as a result of participating in his test track layout design competition, I am now in a position to fully utilise the 6 pack which looks to have everything I need to light the coaches. I am a little confused about the pickups as I would have suspected that even one set of wipers on a bogie onseveral coaches would provide quite a bit of drag. Do the new ones from DCC Concepts work on a plunger style? I am unable to view the images in the N scale version that Martin posted due to work restrictions. Should I use the new 00 gauge items instead then?

So with ignorance excused, I am not familiar with the wheel sets of the RTR coaching stock from B and H respectively. How do I determine if I need to obtain 3rd party wheel sets (Bill Bedfords?) or whether the wheel sets in the bogies as supplied will do the job? If they won't I have been unable to determine which item from BB will do the job. If I then digress and use a BB bogie kit are there further issues to be aware of? Hopefully others will find this question(s) of interest.

So would I be correct in expecting that the majority of the Hornby axles would fall into the live axle variety and thus require no further tweaking other than to include the addition of he new DCC Concepts coach pickup then?
