  1. I just wondered how you produced those Arc jha ? Dapol are doing now but I always make my wagons these days.. so would like to do these..
  2. is pg013d available as a kit by chance? ;-]
  3. All a bit quiet generally with this model so far and no review on YouTube as yet..
  4. Has anyone got a decoder successfully installed into a cav 56 yet and got everything working or is this a no goer?
  5. I'm wondering if it is worthwhile investing in an Elite so express net can be utilized and thus the dongle for complete versatility if dongle works seamless with Hornbys system. ,(?) I see some other options have appeared in the Apps 'engine shed' ie 'function maps'. I'm presuming this is to assist dongle use?
  6. With the latest high spec models being all 20+ functions and very few systems being able to go beyond 20 it has become apparent that someone needs to develop a cheap control system which is app based run by tablet/smartphone for 30 functions.
  7. I demand a 59 and 33 is announced!! Hornby do as I say !! lol
  8. Any news on additions to the sound options suite? Class 59 and 33 are a must Hornby!! Please!
  9. ok thanks... Re the biffo fuct list it would seem its a misprint or copy and paste from Hornby decoder version as no option for operating 2 fans then..
  10. no sound options left. If Mr Lego is lurking around, can he or others answer; I see that the Lego cav 56 decoder on offer on the website lists functions but only one for fan [?] is this a misprint as surely the fans need 2 functions as separately operated..
  11. Gosh there must be a way to get this dongle working with all systems..? cant they make an App for it lol!!
  12. Can any bright spark envisage what existing Dcc systems will the Dongle be compliant,apart from Hornbys own controllers?
  13. The national media loves scare stories and a few weeks back took hold of a couple of stories with their usual frenzy and their exaggeration couldn't be further from the truth. (As has been the case for many yrs on various subjects) wouldn't it be crazy if Hornby announced a 31 retool as well.. with smoke and working windscreen wipers lol. The hobby is alive and burgeoning!
  14. Ok thanks. Il scope out Road and rails etc..
  15. Anybody tried different decoders in non fitted ones yet and what results?
  16. A quick check on spec and Yes you are correct.. fans should work with a decoder as controllable and in DC mode when loco moves. That's clever electronics. The cav chaps say a bespoke decoder may be your way forward unless you have a programmer.. A bespoke decoder is in the works. Road and Rails could be your friend.
  17. Are the fans workable on non sound versions? I thought they were only fitted to factory fitted sound versions? I may be wrong..
  18. ok thanks.. I have a few decoders around and may experiment or one option is a HM7000 sound decoder which has Aux fcts on 21-24.. I believe
  19. Has anyone got a fct list for non sound versions ie where the cab lights and headlight/tail lights on /off options have been placed?
  20. Yes I get it, so we need a function list to see how it compares to the chip we intend to put in- if it's non mappable.
  21. Anybody fitted a txs sound decoder yet? May go down that route if lighting functions work all ok
  22. Ok thanks I will speak to him then. I don't like that green on 101. Yuk 🤢. Should've kept it retro mustard Arc 😔
  23. anybody know if its possible to refit the smoke version of these with a sound decoder of choice or does this effect the smoke unit making it not work?
  24. I hear that similar bluetooth systems available in the U.S have been available for sometime. Do they have a Dongle add on making them compatible with existing dcc systems also? I also wonder if one of the clever electronic manufacturers could ever make an add on that makes all dcc systems compatible or would it be possible? I'm reluctant to give up my Dynamis (which isn't expressnet) ,despite its shortcomings but having access to all 28 fcts would be nice!
