I had the same rocking/wobble issue with my first and replacement loco and also sent them a video. This time I was told it was designed this way to run on the track properly. Never heard this the first time and no other loco in my collection does this... Other folk seem to have no issues though. Also, this time I learned you need to cut/shorten the sanding pipes yourself, if they cause issues on your layout... That reminds me of a certain software company saying "it's not a bug, it's a feature".

Thanks for all your comments on this model. Was tempted to go for one at a hunner, despite old tooling and no pax lights. The livery is just so poor, money well saved. Cheers

Had to return mine as well with similar noise issues. It was also struggling to keep up speed in turns (motor seameded to work hard). Should have kept my Regional version of the first batch which had no problems at all.

Hi folks, I've got a spare LokSound v4 chip and I'm looking for a Class 66 sound file with Drivelock or similar. All recent sound files now use the v5 chip, so I was wondering if older ones are available. Thank you in advance.

Thanks for the info! Ordered one, at least normal price, not 100 quid extra like on the popular auction site...

Looks nice. But going on the train with your better half costs as much as a sound fitted Deltic... What to choose? 😇

Thank you for the clarification. I have contacted support first anyway, but just dropped another email.

So, does that mean I'll get the full refund, or do you consider the deposit of £30 a reasonable fee?

Yes, no issues with Rails or other retailers at all. Found this in AS FAQs: Reservation Fees cover the cost of admin, raising balances and processing fees, and are non refundable, but are fully deductible from the cost of completing your order. It doesn't say what happens with faulty items returned for refund, but it would be a bad practice not to fully refund. Haven't heard back yet since 8/7/22 though.

That's what I thought. Pay a deposit to secure one, if for any reason you don't want it, it's lost. But if returned for refund you should get it all back. Got the (partial) refund already, just waiting for the deposit.

Regarding deposit, do you get it back when returning the loco for refund (as it's faulty)?

Just stumbled across this thread... Can someone tell me which couplings Bachmann have used for their Trix wagons? Must be either their own screw-on 36-025 (short) or 36-026 (long) ones... What small and short screws would you recommend to fit these? They also have 3-hole wheels, so I suggest these would their 36-015 Metal 3-Hole Disc Wagon Wheels. Thank you for any help.

Does someone have a sound function list for the newer v5 Class 20s? Apparently, they use a new sound set... is it a good one?

Is it this one? Bachmann 32-030DS Class 20 Headcode Box 20156 BR Railfreight (Red Stripe). Is it a new sound project?

A bit off topic, but congratulations Richard & Zena! Nice pictures too.
