There has been 13 issues per year for a while now, with the Spring edition being published between the March and April copies. Steve

I agree. I remap all my decoders the same way, with F0 & F1 being lights and engine sound as is the UK "norm". Then comes the horns on F2/F3. The next 7 functions all relate to "driving" of the model. From F10 to F21 I have various sound options, with the most useful being first e.g. flange squeal, whistle, doors closing. Then I map out the lighting options and finally any other options I'll probably never use. My answer to Chris is that there is no real standard, with each sound provider possibly having their own standard. The secret for me is to remap all sounds to my standard, which then increases my enjoyment when it comes to operation of my layout. Steve

Chris, when I first read your post I wasn't sure how to answer. When you say "manufacturer" are you asking about the model manufacturer for sound fitted locos off the shelf. Or are you talking about the different sound decoder manufacturers? Or are you asking about the different makers and distributors of sound files that you can reblow a decoder with? Steve

I was simply letting the OP know that troubling the directors of Accurascale, who are very generous with their time by answering questions here, really shouldn't be the first port of call for the "has my order shipped yet" type questions. If someone has doubts that there order has somehow gotten lost or has been missed, then they should get in touch with support and not just post their questions here. We're kind of saying the same thing. I agree, patience is what is required more than anything! Steve -

Why not ask the Accurascale online support, surely that's what it is there for? Then you can give them your order number, which will ensure you receive some personalised customer service. Steve -
Thanks for posting, I'll spend some time comparing with my settings to see if you've uncovered any little nuggets. I thought I'd mention that you do have the ability to move and delete lines of info, seeing as you don't have them naturally running from F0 to F31. I have to keep mine in sequence! The magic buttons to move things around is carefully tucked away in the top left of the screen. Highlight the row and use the up/down or delete buttons : Of course there's no need to move anything, as it won't make any physical difference with the decoder functionality. It does make things easier to find though. Steve

Charlie and Bif (DCKits) have delivered a solution for the Accurascale models, is anyone wants a different sound file. -

Yes please, I'll take one. It might just go nuclear 😎 Steve -

@Bloodnok As you have some lighting functions that are working, my guess is that your issue is nothing to do with AUX13 (which is what seems to have triggered you to post) as SRman stated that by removing AUX13 from the function mapping it stopped all lights from working. I have no detailed knowledge of Zimo decoders and how their mapping works, so perhaps a post in the DCC section might bring you into contact with someone that has successfully fitted a Zimo decoder to the AS 37 and/or 92? I also suggest keeping the correspondence going with AS support, as has been mentioned many times before on this thread to other users having issues with a model. As E100 states above, new models are stretching the capability of decoders to the limit. I have an SLW "Scottish" 24 on pre-order and I would be pleasently surprised if I could take out the OEM supplied Zimo decoder, throw in an ESU one and have everything work the same! Accurascale have even gone the extra mile and provide a very cost effective "plug n' play" solution by offering both LokPilot and LokSound pre-configured decoders for sale on their website. Good luck! Steve -

Fantastic, this isn't a support thread. Sorry, I've no idea what that means. Perhaps it doesn't matter. Go on, give us more to work with. What specifically doesn't work with the Zimo decoders? Steve -

Did he actually say this, as that wasn't my impression? Please feel free to quote from Bloodnok's post to support your statement! -

Then the truth arrives: The post from AS was totally in line with what I thought it would be. Why do some modellers come on here and spout what amounts at best to be exaggerations, the kind of which can do damage to a business trying its best for all of us modellers. I simply don't understand! Steve -
The only positive from what is news that will shock almost every modeller in the country, is that they are able to manage an orderly closure of the business. This ensures that their staff are able to continue being paid in the short term. Business going under is never good news, having less choice in the marketplace is not really that important, but the impact on staff's lives and families can be huge. I hope they all manage to find suitable and timely employment. A sad day! Steve
