Many thanks, Pete

Hi all i was gifted a couple of locos sometime ago and now found the time to get them up and running. I have not tinkered for a good few years and this particular class 47 came without the wiresconnected to the power bogie. The white and red taped wires I presume go to the 2 lugs on the facing side of motor but not sure where the green taped wire needs to go. I have attached ref pics and the tape was attached to help with description. many thanks paul

Hi Just an update zimo chip arrived today and put it in and now works fine problem solved. A lesson learned won’t be buying anymore Hornby chips. Once again thanks for all your advice much appreciated. Paul

Hi Dave Speaker was fine it appears to be something wrong with the chip so hay ho at least I can still use the loco just no sound. Regards Paul

Hi Thanks for the swift reply. That’s answered my question straight away. Cheers

Hi My TTS sound has stopped working on one of my chips I was transferring it to another loco. The chip still works fine but has no sound. Is there any way of test it. With say a test meter. Thanks in advance.

Thanks for your adviceI’ve invested in a Zimo Mx600 chip to see if it works if not i needed another chip for another loco. I’ve done a bit of searching regarding the sprog 2 which seems just what I’m looking for at the moment as I have plans on moving my layout from the garage into the loft in the near future so would like to invest more on a better controller at a later date. Just one thing about the sprog I would like to ask as I can’t find much info about it there’s a version called the nano will this do the same thing allowing cv values to be changed etc. Thanks again for your help

Looks like ile have to start saving my pocket money the wife gives me!!!

Thanks for that answer just one other question in response to your answer. Would it be possible to have CV values changed by the tech guy at my local shop and then used ok on my layout. Thanks again

Thanks for your replies the two chips I tried were both Hornby first was a TTS sound chip the other was a Hornby R8249. As I already stated both had worked fine in sane loco before I converted to the new motor and still work fine in other locos now. Regarding changing the CV values I am unable to do this as I only have a select controller. Thanks Again

Hi to all first time posting on the group. I have recently converted a Lima class 33 motor to a new CD type motor I purchased from Diesel trains. This was my first attempt at any internal work on a loco as looked simple enough to do. All went well and was quite straight forward, but I’m having a problem with loco running with a DCC chip in, it runs absolutely fine at all speeds on Anologue but when first moving with a chip in it judders. The chip was the original one I had fitted to the loco that was already converted to DCC. I have tried another chip in another loco and also the 33s original chip in another loco and runs fine. I have contacted Diesel trains about problem as was stated runs fine with DCC but have not got back to me as yet. Any help would be much appreciated. Paul
