I deffo think one of the points are faulty, as ive tried it again with insulated joiners on all rails from the points, so all 6 joiners are plastic. Loco sails thru one point but still shorts on the other point. Swapped them round as well and its always the same point The only thing im doing different here from the 00 ones is i used to modify the oo points by bridging the stock rails and cutting the wire underneath and using frog juicers for the polarity but these n scale points dont have a frog wire fitted

ok so i did grab a couple of electrofrogs to have a play with. Set them up as per the pic. Power feeds at the toe end. Insulated joiners on the frogs rails ( the 3 middle rails of the crossover ) and metal joiners on the outer 2 rails Power feeds on the other bits off track so its all live. Controller powers on fine and no shorts whichever way the points are set so i think its all wired correctly. However when i driver loco over them from left to right on the lower point i get a short when the loco hits the part of the point where the blades are hinged. So not the frog or anything. Same in the other direction right to left. But it will cross over onto the top track fine and run over the top point perfectly fine. Is it possible the lower points faulty or am i missing something?

Thank you. So the electrofrogs can be used straight from the box whilst making use of the insulated joiners and track feeds?

So im planning a new n scale layout. Ive always used insulfrogs in the past, but thinking of using electrofrogs this time. Ive used them in 00 before so is it the same thing? Do i need to modify the point by adding the link wire as i did in 00? It was fiddly enough in 00, so N might be very tricky. Id be manually changing the points, but would probably use autofrogs or the tam valley frog juicers for the frogs. Another option is the code 55 unifrogs, but id be mixing them with code 80 set track curves

Has anyone tried these AE Models / Dcc Concepts stay alives with the HM7000? Will using one void any warranty on the deocder?

Has anyone fitted an HM7000 decoder to a Dapol class 22? Is there room for the stay alive as well? I know theres not a correct soundfile but it gives me access to the stay alive which my 22 definatly needs over some pointwork.

Theres deffo o scale 14xx and 57xx locos listed as being from china

Mine were deffo a rule 1 purchase as i model the br green diesel era

A lot of the releases seem to be lingering in shops so there probably not wanting to announce more until theyve gone. Same as the 24 i guess as theres been no new ones since the initial release years ago. Back to the 47 tho, the only one you cant get anymore is the green one. So would welcome a new green one being announced

Apologies

Me too, this is there reply in full : "We would recommend against any direct purchase of Dapol products from China"

Dapol have posted on there website and on Facebook about fake Dapol products being sold on chinese websites. However they dont say what the products are i assume we have to guess for ourselves. Im assuming its decoders trho https://www.Dapol.co.uk/blogs/news/fake-Dapol-products?fbclid=IwAR2UKHpiwzB4P99TFBxY3fcUu-jLuBx-V-eLVtCf6SXia4fOtvBGsKZaL10_aem_AWk0h-06rj3sPGYPlHLMK0P9zvONWVLSdmQpV1uJt-j4gMjtqZXSC1ejkGmEjUV2LqdTZabgpzKh4fr2EPtEzhd3

Lots of Mk2 coaches now in stock on accurascale website. Ordered a couple :)

I got the email at 14.01. They cant even get the April fools joke out on time...

Prefer a metcalfe 0801 goods shed, unmade or made to a good standard. Or a laser cut shed thats been painted

Did you buy new? If not id question if thats the original power brick

That large collections cost me a fortune so far. Class 20 x 2 both sound fitted Class 25 with the best sound ive ever heard. Huge speaker fantasic sound file Class 24 sound fitted Class 08 Some wagons coaches and parcel vans. If you look on the facbook page theres some pics of whats available.

cheers quite tempted i must say

Just placed an order for a warwell. Ive sent a message to ask if shipping can be delayed until i get back off holiday. Hopefully the team see it :)

Does it have traction tyres? Does it look easy to get into?

I had to reduce the volume on mine to 25. As supplied it got hot pretty quickly with the speaker in the nose end. I have the Hornby power bank in the cab. Fits nicely on the floor. Theres a video on youtube that i mused and pretty much copied his install except i used the smallest speaker enclosure
