There has recently been an enquiry on the forum about Dapol and Farish instruction/service sheets.
I thought I could help with the Farish ones as I had a link to a separate Bachmann site containing quite a few, but no where near all, sheets. The link didn't work so I mailed Bachmann from their main site, resulting in this reply.......

Thank you for taking the time to contact us.
This resource is not currently available but we intend to restore it in the future. In the meantime, if there is a particular document which you require please do ask and we will endeavour to help

It's a shame Dapol don't do something similar (a 'Knowledge Bank' of sheets, I mean) although I'm sure they would help with individual requests

Lendons of Cardiff has copies of many service sheets, for all gauges and eras, and have at least some of the Bachmann-Farish ones.

Maybe a helpful stop-gap until Bachmann sort out their own site

Yes, indeed, I was aware of this development.

Very positive, and indeed I'd already placed a first order.

Only problem is - it showed up today missing about half the parts I ordered  :doh: so clearly there are teething issues.....

I got an identical reply.  While I keep the hard copies of every loco I own in a couple of wallet folders, I also like to have a copy on the computer.  So I am missing downloads of my most recent purchases.  One option is to scan the hard copies..

In 2011, when I took on the role of NGS Helpline, I got all the Peco, Dapol, Ixion and Farish loco servicing sheets together with the idea of getting them onto the NGS website as a modeller resource. I got approval from Dapol and Peco but not from Farish and not from the NGS at the time either. So it never happened. I never bothered to ask again.

I have the following which might be of use:

@Bob G
Obviously no one can download anything from your list so are you volunteering to be the 'Keeper of the Scrolls' and send requests out as and when they arise?

Bob G

Of course. This is a personal list of stuff from the internet and from Dapol and Peco that they sanctioned could be listed elsewhere, so if anyone needs one or more of these, just PM me.

I reckon this resource needs highlighting somewhere on the forum rather than buried in a thread.
What say you, Sirrah?
