  1. Yes - I have mine connected in 'client' mode with an DHCP IP reservation on my router so the IP stays consistent. Z21 and Loconet protocols working fine, had a few issues with WiThrottle
  2. Looking forward to mine arriving tomorrow via royal mail. Luckily Mrs Packetlos is away so I wont have any explaining to do... thank you Revolution Trains!
  3. Lets see what they go for when the auction finishes, I guess any EOI response rate depends on how well it is marketed.
  4. I know I keep banging on about this, but no demand for a re-run of these in N?
  5. Will it be here before the Dapol version? 🙂
  6. 66001 will be handy for easy renumbers

  8. Tis a shame, I was out of the hobby for a while and missed out on these at the time. I don't see them come up on ebay so the current owners must be happy with them 🙂
  9. Always thought it was strange that arriva traincare have a presence at Tyne for maintaining the cross country voyagers but the grand central units (also owned by DB/Arriva) were serviced at Heaton by northern. The GC 180's are much more common at Tyne these days.
  10. I'd vote for following to go through the shrink ray: Class 37 HYA-IIA Hopper IIA Biomass MHA Ballast Wagon 'Out there vote': Class 325 in 00 and N
  11. @WIMorrison Did you try the WiThrottle protocol? I couldn't get it work with EngineDriver or LocoTouch apps available on Android.
  12. Does anybody make the network rail yellow panels to bring the older farish JJA's up to date?
  13. Upgraded my DR5000 using the YD9401 module yesterday, received very quickly from DDC train automation. Fairly straightforward upgrade although I had to restart my PC after installing the Yamorc software before the DR5000 was detected and the new license file could be applied. First impressions - being able to use the LAN and the standalone wifi network at the same time with lots of protocols is much more useable, I'm a Loconet user but being able to mess with the Z21 app at the same time is amazing. In summary worth the £60 to bring the DR5000 up to what it probably should have been in the first place.
