    Andy, I picked mine up last year at Bridgeton Bus Museum open day! Bill.

    Having run out of Warning Yellow I used Precision Paints Alexander Northern yellow. Yes, you heard correctly, normally for painting buses!
  3. Dunmar
    The other end!

    Having checked the reference books and all things West Highland/Far North Line there certainly seems the semblance of a black painted bracket more obvious on some than others. Yes I've painted mine, as cosmetically, it looks better. Yes, I know I have a lamp bracket missing!

    Tbh, I can't say for sure if it was there in the first place. Like the broken bogie chain which I didn't notice either until a few days later. But I have big broad shoulders!

    Hi, The coupling bar is in fact made from brass rod and a hole is drilled in the buffer beam on the left of the coupling hook as there is already a hole on the right which I didn't use. The bar is bent to a square ' U ' shape and pushed through the beam. Allow 3/4mm on the other side to allow you to bend in toward the inside of the buffer beam. It is best to super glue the bar when you first insert it into the buffer beam, let it set and then bend .

    Watching your progress with interest. As my layout has a fair amount of pointwork , flange squeal is more than likely to be happening more frequently. Why couldn't the sensors been set to detect this??? Over to the team at Accurascale!

    Hi, Dip switches were set on receipt, but will check again. Won't do anything else meantime as already have a Sound decoder on its way to you as I speak so will wait to hear the outcome of your findings. Bill.

    Hi, I have just returned from my local club meeting and after testing my second Accurascale 37 sound decoder which was delivered today. After testing on the club layout curves, no flange squeal was heard. This is now the second one to do so, or not.

    Hi, Yes, you do have to drill the holes out a little with a micro drill as it does help. And yes I do have a thread on here which started out as Helmsdale, and then was changed to Laggan Bridge. Unfortunately I suffered from a rather severe case of sciatica which prevented me from getting into the loft for about 5 months, only now getting back up there. Bill.

    That's interesting, as I have just returned a sound decoder to Accurascale as it failed to ' squeal '. Received another today, same result. Will get my mate to have a look on the Lokprogrammer.

    Pipework and coupling bar added. But boy! If those 3 part ploughs came off once!??! and that's me being careful. Before the layout goes on the show circuit I will remove the small dimple on the fixing point of the plough and drill a hole to accept a piece of brass rod which would be more permanent.
  13. Dunmar
    Same here. I prefer wheel slip as opposed to cold start. As I do the exhibition circuit my layout doesn't really lend itself to cold starting.
  14. Dunmar
    Eventually used this method. Bill.

    I did contact them and they said send a short video. I have for the last 2 hours been trying to do so and each time I try to send it , tells me the file is too large and won't send.
  16. Dunmar
    No! Advance.
  17. Dunmar
    Yep! And it's a Prodigy Advance 2. Bill
  18. Dunmar
    Yep! Ran it through the crossover of two points and the curve leading to fiddle yard.
  19. Dunmar
    Hi, I was aware of that and mentioned this in the original post. Might the sensors be at fault. Can't I access the CV myself?
  20. Dunmar
    Okay! Didn't know about the wheelslip. Can't hear flange squeal. I believe it is set of when the loco detects a curve in the track! But can I access it via my Prodigy?
  21. Dunmar
    Hi, Having probs finding both the flange squeal and wheelslip on 37 027. It simply just isn't there. How do I access the Cv's via my Prodigy 2. Bill.
  22. Dunmar
    Always works for me! T-cut and a cotton bud. And if you are very careful, T-cut and a cocktail stick as it's quicker. Bill.
  23. Dunmar
    Worked a treat Steve. Have altered Cv3 for the time being and am much happier with the result. Will leave it for now at least till it's had some mileage under its belt. Looking forward to much the same with Loch Lomond when it arrives. Bill.
  24. Dunmar
    Thanks Steve. I was aware of the points you have mentioned but wanted to hear from others who may have had the same issues and what they did to resolve them. I attended the Perth show today, and I may be corrected later, I appeared to be the only modeller there running an Accurascale 37, so no chance of others viewpoints.
  25. Dunmar
    The only way I can explain it is how I did it on the V4's. The default setting was 255 on Cv5. This was changed to say, 150/160. Cv6 should be set to half of Cv5 ie. 50/60. The loco would run at a more realistic scale speed and would most certainly rev much sooner. When reading the V5 it shows the Cv5 default as 255 but shows no setting for Cv6. Bill.
