Hornby 7000 getting the App working
Tallpaul69 replied to Tallpaul69's topic in DCC Help & Questions
Thanks, I cant find anything. In the "Bad old Days" each Hornby loco instruction leaflet used to have stamped on the top front, the locos R number followed by the sequential identification number for the individual loco. Off course, I understand such an approach is far to "low Tech" for the current era, but didn't it make the customers life easy if there was a query? Never mind, thanks for responding quickly, Paul -
Hi All, I have got stuck with getting the HM7000 app to work. It is installed fine on my I phone. The screen seems to be showing as described in the leaflet supplied with my new Loco with a HM7000 factory fitted chip. When I run the scan, In the "Ready to Link" box I get one item under "Resettable Devices" with the identification "HM7000_C9F1" and 15 items under "Unfiltered devices" , mostly with the label "Name N?A but including one I can identify as our television! Concentrating on the "HM7000_C9F1" item under the heading it shows "Reset device>". I f I click on this I get a box which says "Reset Passcode" "To reset this device please enter the reset passcode. This can be found on the device manager screen. If you have lost this please contact Hornby Support". Below this is a box with a flashing curser (For the passcode to be entered?). there are also cancel and ok buttons. My problems 1) I have no idea which device this is. I have three locos with HM7000 chips in, is it one of those? none are currently on a track or powered. 2) I have no idea where the Device Manager Screen is or how I access it. Can someone please help me, preferably in plain English not techispeak! I have gone through the HM manual all 166 pages of it, but cannot find anything to help! Many thanks Paul Many thanks

Afternoon All, Greetings from a (once again!) wet and soggy south Bedfordshire. No venturing to the railway room today, which is a pity as it is the first day since they arrived that I have time free to play with set up and test run my first Hornby 7000 fitted diesels. Also, my BR liveried Toplights arrived today. Have yet to open and inspect them, but am expecting a real treat! my first Hornby 7000 fitted diesels to I have committed to a 3D printed 12 ton Rail mounted Diesel crane. It looks splendid, and hopefully my mate Malcolm can do the works on assembly and weathering. I am also debating upgrading my Bachmann Classes 31 and 69 orders to SFX specification to give the new DCC uncouplers a go. Cheers, Paul

OO Gauge GWR Toplight Mainline & City Coaches announced

Afternoon All, My BR liveried Toplights arrived today. Have yet to open and inspect them, but am expecting a real treat! Cheers, Paul -
Glad I am not the only one running their layout in multiple eras although my dates ate a little wider spaced being 1962ish, 1992ish, 2006ish, and 2019ish. I say -ish because I do tend under Rule 1 to allow items I like from a year or two each side of the date. So just this week, after being fairly strict on the 2019 date, I have pre-ordered 69001, which of course is a 2021 product! Yes, I know the infrastructure and areas outside the railway fence (and the fence itself!) have altered from 1962 until now, but with careful choice of prototype area and a little Rule 1 I think things are manageable!

Cholsey & Moulsford (Change for Wallingford)
Tallpaul69 replied to Nick Gough's topic in Layout topics
Nick, Glad to heart your positive progress report, hope you can soon get back to modelling and the reporting of your structural efforts! Best regards Paul -
Things are on the up (a little!). Our decorator finished tonight, a day early, so tomorrow we can get the house back to normal. As a result of today's Bachmann announcements I have lined my wallet up for a substantial hit later in the year with three sound fitted items. So there are pre-orders for a Bachmann class 31 (Mainline livery), and an Accurascale 31 (Intercity livery). These are backed up by taking the plunge on a pre-order for 69001. Yes, I know the 69ers didn't arrive until 2021,and my modern rendering of Bradenham is supposed to be 2019, but I decided that the 2019 dateline could be a little elastic as I thought the 69er sharing the 56 bodyshell would make an interesting comparison with my Cavalex 56. I will now take a more leisurely look at the Mk1 releases. Cheers All, Paul

Well folks, there is not a lot to report! I have ordered and received an Accurascale GUV in BR Maroon, and a lovely model it is. Also arrived is my Cavalex class 56 in Loadhaul livery for the early 2000s running of Bradenham. Again a very good looking model but I have yet to get it running on the layout. No problem with it, just lack of time on my part! The scenic planning that I mentioned in my last post is going very slowly. I think it will be another three weeks before I get much done on the modelling front:- This week we have the decorators in and then in two weeks our youngest son and family are visiting. I hope you are all making better progress with your modelling projects? Lets hope we all get something we have wished for in the Bachmann announcements this week. Cheers for now, Paul

APCM Bagged Cement van in 4mm scale
Tallpaul69 replied to macgeordie's topic in Kitbuilding & Scratchbuilding
Hi Ian, Just found out about this wagon! Are you still able to offer this kit, or are you up for a further batch, if not now maybe sometime in the next couple of years. I could be interested in 4 of them? Also reading this thread, I have the impression you have done/do other 4mm kits. If so, where can I find details? Many thanks and kind regards Paul -
