Bachmann Class 47: Shell Removal, Service, Lubrication and DCC Decoder Install - HO/OO Scale

In this video we completely tear down a Bachmann Branchline 32-816 Class 47/3 47365 'Diamond Jubilee' in BR Railfreight Distribution Livery (model train). I cover how to remove the shell, oil the gears inside the trucks/bogies, lubricate the flywheels, repair the windows and finally install a DCC decoder with BEMF.
Quick Note I made about "ordering on ebay or hattons" being risky. Allow me to clarify. Hattons is a fantastic company to order from, they are always very upfront about the condition of the product. The comment was actually towards sellers on eBay, some sell excellent product but others as I'm sure you know, sell sub par or in some cases broken items. They don't often last long as feedback will usually weed them out. In any case, hopefully this clarifies my comment a bit further. Thanks!

Absolutely fabulous, my 2010 Bachmann 47suddenly stopped working but it was stored for about 10 years I did fit a Bachmann decor when it was new so il remove the shel again and check for any loose connections Many thanks

And if u call bachmann thay still do the 3 pice snowplough I just got some for my 37s and that uses two slots not the nem pocket and thay are only a couple pounds

[@PendulumStation]

Oh man that would be great. I hate that the current snow ploughs use the pocket.
