  1. Likewise, I have been running DCC sound for longer than I care to remember. I have been using a Gaugemaster Prodigy Advance system for over 10 hrs now and find that it works well. I have had none of the issues mentioned in this thread with regards to cutting out, lighting issues etc. with any of the 37's I purchased, all sound decoders and speakers purchased separately and fitted by myself. I did have an issue with the first batch of decoders which was readily dealt with the Tech dept at Accurascale. Just saying!
  2. I too am waiting on my first updated Bachmann 37 from TMC but only after having purchased several superb Accurascale examples. I also have a few Vitrains Large/Logo versions which I weathered and super detailed and were most reliable performers on the exhibition circuit. I don't intend to purchase anymore second hand versions or Bachmann old school as I think that Accurascale still have more to come. Bill.
  3. Tossed that out on receipt of loco as it rattled something awful.
  4. I also purchased the new ESU speakers, both the large and smaller version. I had to sand a small amount off the base of the larger one as it measured 8.6mm. It gives a more of a treble sound and you can detect a hint more base from the smaller version. Much more to my liking. Still have to tidy up some wiring. Bill.
  5. Anyone who knows me would know how I have strived over the years to get my 37's sounding how they should. And yes, each and everyone to their own, as we all have our personal preferences. Mine is the full blown West Highland/ Far North Line versions. I have removed the Accurathrash speaker from 37 027 and the sugar cube and replaced it with two 25x25x7 wired in parallel and it sounds just like a 'bag o' nails '. The way it should sound. Using the CV changes mentioned, also increased the volume, as if I needed to!
  6. Let me see if I've got this right. I made several CV changes to 37 027 and 37 043 to improve the running , moving off and sound volume. But, I had I had to return both loco's to Accurascale for a fault so I did a default reset, which I know now doesn't work. If I make those same CV changes, and save them, will I be able to re-load them if anything happens in the future? Bill.
  7. My thanks to Simon and the Technical Team at Accurascale I now have 37 027/ 37043 back on shed after maintenance. They are both now running and operating as the should be. Flange squeal operates going through pointwork just as it would do. Good to go!
  8. Had an occasion to return two sound decoders to Accurascale for re-blow and as I had made several CV changes thought I'd reset to factory settings. No, big mistake! as you say, low high horn won't switch off. Have informed tech team.
  9. Absolutely Eddie, there's a lot to like about this 37' . It just has the look and is right at home on a Scottish layout. I need to crack on with Laggan Bridge. I'm currently bogged down converting the Pop up Designs Thurso station, by God it's a challenge I can tell you!!! Bill.
  10. Cheers Eddie, Think I may have finally got a response! Bill.
  11. Hi Eddie, Still not had a reply from ACCURASCALE, getting a bit p!!** off with them to say the least! If it's not too much bother let me know how you fixed it. Will also get one of my colleagues to look into same as they might spot what's wrong! Cheers, Bill.
  12. I've waited this long Eddie! A few days days more ain't goin' to matter! Bill.
  13. Hi, As I don't seem to be getting a positive response from Accurascale, well not yet anyway, would appreciate if you could point me in the right direction as I have a couple of mates who have Lokprogrammers. Bill.
  14. Hi, I have been speaking to them. It was them that suggested I clean the sensor. My re-blow was prior to Accurascale contacting ESU so my fault still existed.
  15. Mine was re-blown, so I believe , but that was before Accurascale announced that they were awaiting a report from ESU with regards to a fault in some sound decoders which was reported on here. They then we're going to contact those that bought decoders separately and rectify the fault!!!???
  16. Hi, Did anyone who bought their Accurascale sound decoders and speakers separately and had issues with the flange squeal ever get the problem resolved? Because I haven't! The latest chapter has had me removing the sensor under the cab, cleaning with a cotton bud and finally passing a magnet in front of the sensor! No! Sorry! But that doesn't work either. NEXT!
  17. WoW! 37 043 arrived this afternoon. One word, Stunning!
  18. It would be helpful to have an update for those who have ordered through the retailer. The waiting is wrecking my nerves, what with all this talk of ' completely sold out '.
  19. Hi, I haven't had an explanation as to why they have arrived at this result but will query the decision as I have a second decoder with the same problem to be returned. Bill.
  20. Hi, Received my non - refurbished sound decoder for Loch Eil back from Accurascale and delighted to report that I now have a ' squeal '. The function key F11 is now latched which I prefer rather than relying on the sensor. First class service from start to finish!
  21. Hi, I have one such decoder on it's way back to me having been under scrutiny by the Accurascale Tech team. Will report back on it's receipt!
  22. Andy, I picked mine up last year at Bridgeton Bus Museum open day! Bill.
