  1. Surely at the price that these devices are it is much more cost effective to use a motor with a built in switch that changes the frog polarity? They seem a very expensive solution for something that has already been solved for many years.
  2. The MS480 is specified as a 1w 8Ω speaker
  3. Successfully updated 3 x DR5000 to 3 x YD7001 this evening though one was a pain in the backside and didn’t want to upgrade, but managed to make it do it in the end. Two back with very happy owners and the third is still on the bench - I am wondering if I should make an offer to the owner as I know he only plans to sell it on eBay. it would be useful as a bench system and backup for the Z21 - decisions 😂

  5. Paul, This does seem to have been a tale of woe that has been ongoing for quite a while. It might help if you provide a summary of what is wrong to ensure you get the right sort of person offering to help you.
  6. Bill, remember that email I sent you a few months ago? Should prove useful 😉
  7. When I use my Multimice if I press the key briefly then the key latches, if I press and hold it releases when I let it go. There is this reference in the manual that seems to confirm the operation I see. 3.2.6 The “FUNCTION KEYS” are used to activate locomotive functions (F1– F28, e.g. the horn on a locomotive with sound or a digital coupling) by pressing the corresponding function key for an extended time (at least 1 second). The function remains active for as long as you hold the Function Key. If you press the key only briefly, the desired function is activated normally. You select the desired status using the arrow keys. Factory setting: OFF ▪ To confirm, press the OK-key. You return to the start level “FUNCTION KEYS.
  8. @YT-1300 Completely agree, the deep-bass sounds that are heard in real-life at distance will never be created by any sound project, though a diesel model at the Scottish Model Engineers Trust last year came close to it 😊
  9. You don't program the button on the Multimaus, you program the function in the decoder to operate when F2 is pressed.
  10. Living around 150m from a real steam railway (albeit heritage) I am well aware of the sounds that are actually heard at that distance and the sounds are whistles and exhaust when pulling away (and the wind is in the correct direction) - otherwise you wouldn’t be aware that there is a railway line there at all. The distance to the real railway equates to less than 2m in 4mm scale, or less than 1m in 2mm scale - yet I can often here shovels clanking from model railways at exhibitions when they are several metres from me. Everyone is obsessed with the accuracy of their models at the appropriate scale, perhaps if they adopted the same obsession to the sound that emanates from their pride and joy - especially at exhibitions - there would be a greater acceptance of the ‘need’ for sound as greater realism would be generated.
  11. Have you tried either contacting DCC Train Automation (in the link provided), YaMoRC, or ECoS? Seems like an easy answer to me, though it doesn't seem have worried or caused issue for the other ECoS users using the YD6016ES
  12. One of the really good things about iTrain is the ability to switch all sounds off in a layout with a single action or button. when helping people with their layouts this is often the first thing I need to use due to the cacophony of disembodied poor quality sound that are generally too loud is most distracting.
  13. I have posted the TCS statement made after the events here previously.
  14. For signalling, especially when controlled by iTrain is very well served by the YD8016 - again from DCC Train Automation linked above
