RedgateModels

See you there sometime Steve, hopefully you'll find a seat in the restaurant 😉

I would say that was highly unlikely unless Cavalex have used the same function numbers as Hornby for the lighting - the TXS functions are not remappable (sadly). Pays your money and takes your choice as they say.

After me? 🤣 Yes, it's all the curves after Redgate and before the old hairpin

You are soooo old school Gary 😉🤣

sage advice for any decoder. I never put anything else around a decoder apart from any factory fitted shrink wrap. As you say, insulate the chassis/body.

Well that would suggest why the 2020 release lighting flickers. If they used a smallish electrolytic capacitor instead of a supercap the capacitance and therefore storage would be an order of magnitude less at least.

All of this

Because that uses wifi and a separate router etc? To be honest I just tested that it works with my Z21 as part of the beta testing program.

Quick question for the masses, are the bodies of the fowler 2-6-4 tank engines swappable between the early X03 powered ones and the later can motored chassis?

Good question, I can say that it works with Z21

And the classifieds on here 😉

Indeed, looks like I'll have to add lighting to my home brew DP1 soon

I can't see this not being addressed

3 resistors in parallel? Assume for power handling, otherwise one of the right value would do the trick

Good to hear from you again 😁

remember RB had the TR budget to play with too (and their higher wind tunnel time)

back in August I stupidly backed my Impreza into a parked car, trashing the rear driver's side quarter. and so started the long and torrid saga of trying to get it fixed. Now, I am insured with Adrian Flux on a modified car policy, so they should get this sorted no problems yes? No, the policy was farmed out to AXA who don't know a modified car from a coffee cup. They immediately went down the total loss route and even said that someone was coming round to take my car away! I told them to stick their claim where the sun don't shine and resolved to get the car fixed myself. Got a quote for £1500 from a local bodyshop which included completely respraying the rear bumper that badly needed it anyway. A few weeks later I got an automated email from AXA to do a survey about how my claim had gone. I let them have both barrels. A phone call then happened from a nice lady at AXA wanting to follow up.... she said email her the quote and they would have another look. Which I did. They referred the damage to a third party assessor, who after receiving all the info again from me ........... said it was a total loss, as the bodyshop had increased their quote to £3500 as it was now an insurance job! I told them to stick the claim where the sun don't shine. Assessors then agreed to send out an engineer to actually have a look at my car. To be fair, he was decent, knew what he was looking at and left after about 15 minutes. After chasing up the assessors, who told me that the claim had been approved and questioned why AXA had not been back to me I finally got my car booked into the bodyshop at the end of October. It really should not have been that hard. Can't see me staying with Flux/AXA next year.

possibly, I only fit (and recommend) quality decoders (Zimo, Lenz, ESU and now Hornby HM7000) - my bad I should have mentioned them along with DCC Concepts as, as far as I know, the Hattons/Dapol/Rails decoders all come from the same stable as DCC Concepts.

Hornby would do well to produce a non-sound 8 pin direct decoder similar to the TCS DP2X-UK https://www.tcsdcc.com/product-page/dp2x-uk As far as I know TCS are the only supplier (apart from DCC Concepts) who offer such a decoder.

Sounds like Mansfield ......

I don't think so, this tape is made out of flattened jellied eels ........😉

Always assuming that we like what you've done 🤣

Install an HM7000 decoder with sound 😉 (you will lose lighting functionality though....)

I'll be honest, as a modeller I'm not a fan of this Era thing that I think Bachmann started (happy to be corrected). I'd much rather a date range was quoted. I can see the appeal for Gen Pop though.

Can't see me not attending - don't need a loco servicing demo do you?
