Chipping & Repair Service
Mr Chippy and Mr Oily, they do need a bath!!
Mr Chippy (DCC Chip Installations)
Mr Chippy has many years of experience and will install chips in most types of locomotives including split chassis, old Mainline, Airfix, Lima and old hornby locomotives.
Although the costs start at £7.50, plus the chip, this is for a straightforward conversion of a DCC ready locomotive, as you can appreciate the more complex the transition from DC to DCC the more expensive it becomes. We will however do our utmost to keep the costs to a minimum.
We also install chips in some N gauge locomotives, again if it is a DCC ready then the charge would be a minimum of £7.50, plus the chip, for others the price does increase.
We do prefer to install our own chips, which we will guarantee, however if you provide a chip for us to install, we will not guarantee that chip.
For further information, please email or phone the shop.
Mr Oily (Repairs)
Mr Oily, again with many years of experience can service any locomotive at a standard cost of £7.50 plus any parts, we will also repair most locomotives providing we can get any parts that may be required. We do specialise in repairing, rather than replacing parts, in other words, if a part can be repaired then we like to do that rather than having the customer pay a fortune for spares. This however is not always the case, but we will do our best. Again, if the repair is time consuming then the costs will increase, but we will do our best to keep costs to a minimum. If we cannot repair your locomotive then there will be no charge.
Remember we have a very clever happy chapie that will have a go at anything, within reason.
For further information, please email or phone the shop.
