    sorry for the rubbish quality but here is my hst in all its glory
  2. Excuse me, it’s my opinion not a fantasy, I’m going on what a local shop has said to me and my own observations. It’s forum members like your self that jump on anyone saying anything even remotely against AS that stifles debate, opinion and comment. I was not rude, aggressive and clearly stated it was my opnion. I even said I was looking forward to receiving product from AS, they make great stuff and I’ve always said that. You will not stop me posting my opinion, only the forum admins will do that.
  3. hi Fran, thank you for the response, you say all the right things, proof will be in the pudding as they in the longer term. the coaches look fab and i'm looking forward to them, as to the other stuff mentioned, i see it slightly differently but that's just my opinion, anyway back to coaches ta
  4. Your statement about non steam modellers might of held true for some models designed years ago (but still been released such as the 87) but the new non steam stuff coming through with 21 pin sockets are fine, the newer hst point in case.

    pics sorted of the mk3 coaches. fitted the hm7000 decoders to the power cars, i take it back what i said about the bogies, these hst's are stunning in everyway. Hornby really have produced some fine models here, to all the tt bashers, do one.

    Some pics of the mk3 coaches, overall I’m really really impressed. Livery is good, detail is good, glazing is good. I can’t comment on prototype accuracy but they look like swallow mk3 coaches so I’m happy. hopefully tomorrow I can pull the layout out and get them all running.

    mine arrived on friday. had a quick to make sure all was present before putting back in the box. i'll have a proper look tomorrow and post some pics. first impressions, very good livery application, just the right amount of detail, good weight to the both cars, i would say the bogies could be better but then given the size maybe the seperate detail is not needed, swings and around abouts.

    My hst set is on the way and the coaches are been picked, so fingers crossed should have the set by Monday, train pack by Friday .
  12. i've been thinking that for some time, go for it and let me know if it starts smoking! on a serious note, i thought the prodigy did not use xpressNet?
  13. You are correct, I changed the addresses to lower numbers and it’s all working, I do need to look at how I can upgrade the firmware though. in terms of the dongle, it’s a brilliant bit of kit and is a game changer for me for controlling locomotives, only down side is still having to have a DCC system to amend non hm7000 decoders
  14. that would explain allot then, although i did try resetting to 3, will give it another go tonight.
  15. i received my dongle yesterday and on the first setup worked wonderfully with my select. I added it to App, added a new loco (set to default 3 address), added the loco to the dongle decoder (that's how its presented) and i controlled the loco, happy days. now the issues start, I first re-programmed the decoder to a 4 number address (using my gaugemaster dcc controller), i changed the loco address in the engine shed to match, put the loco on the track and nothing happened. my first assumption was the select only uses 2 digit address's, so i reset the decoder address to 70 via the select. Changed the loco address in the engine shed, the loco still would not respond. at this point i powered off everything, disconnected the dongle, re-started the select and tried to just control the loco via the select, the loco would not respond, put the loco on my gaugemaster system and it worked. i tried this with a couple of loco's and got the same outcome, i'm now really confused as to why 1: the dongle now appears not to be working 2: why the select no longer seems able to control the loco's I can see the select does something when i reset the decoder address as the lights flash on the loco.
