think the answer to that is yes, hope you got good neighbours.!!!
The Suppressor capacitors are usually around 470pf (picofarads). Triang used to use ceramic ones as they were robust, small and reasonably cheap. But any capacitor of that size and around 50 volts working voltage will do. Maplins and the like should be able to supply them.

Do do a search on this site for 'old motors' or the like; some very useful information has been published here regarding getting old Triang motors running smoothly.

Great website for the database and pointers to correct model numbers etc to track down the model.

And you might try downloading direct from Hornby for the actual service sheets (very good but incomplete list of service sheets on the hornby site)

Any chance you (y'all) might know where to get Hornby Dublo service sheets as I need them to fix a couple of old locos. Nearly done but still some fine fiddling to go and service sheets help.

(and any others , I need a TRIX 0-6-2 and mainline 4-6-0 chassis service sheets as well)

I am searching the web but nothing yet

I may start a thread on this one (moderators ??)

Your wish is my command Basil. Here they are. http://www.mtrains.co.uk/3.html
Which Mainline 4-6-0 do you have? Is it the ex-Airfix Castle? Service sheet here. http://www.airfixrailways.co.uk/ARSCastle.htm I'm sure I've seen British Trix somewhere. I'll keep searching.

Poliss,

Many thanks and I have come across this website but missed the service sheet area (D'oh)

I have also been in touch with them and got some spares on the way.

I will be making some 'arty' type locos (variation on the 'Thomas' theme) using Hornby Dublo metal chassis(es) and will post the result at some stage. It's for the kids of course.

In answer to your post below, I have a patriot class Bachmann loco body and a mainline 4-6-0 chassis (perfect fit though not purist stuff) and have myself a nice loco for my eventual but currently virtual layout. For you aussies, it is a loco body named 'Western Australia). There's a picture at this post with the link below.

I tried setting up a blog (but I broke it as in 'I doesn't work - Help administrators, Please take note and delete my current blog)

I have the service sheet for the bachmann chassis but not the mainline (and already ruined one motor by loosing one of the springs and brushes)

Many thanks for your post

The new Mainline website doesn't have the service sheet for the Patriot yet. But I would keep checking it. http://www.mainlinerailways.org.uk/Introduction.htm It's run by the same man who does Tri-ang, Airfix, Kitmaster, and now Wrenn.
I haven't been able to find any service sheets for Trix locomotives. :-( Maybe these people could help. http://www.ttrca.co.uk/

Service notes for trix is at the following site and are available as pdf and word. They are not the original ones but very good for detailing parts etc. Spareas are also available from this site.

I will post more info as I get it

http://www.ttrca.co.uk/Spares.htm

The mainline site is also very good but no service sheets but lots of helpful notes and diagrams.

I am still looking for a suitable chassis and motor for this old Trix and have begum work on the Hornby Dublos. I will probably add a post to the 'On my workbench' to follow on from

http://www.modelrailforum.com/forums/index...?showtopic=5520

The hornby dublo is an interesting type of 'open' motor construction. Meaty stuff !!!! The complete one was got from 'Mainly trains' and the bits and pieces have arrived to fix up the other chassis (the other one will be scrapped after being taken apart)
