every post about the problem, does not solve the problem - it is the problem..... It is really simple - dont post without a bargain or to update with pertinent info about a bargain.... oh er hang on: Cheap IC buffet anyone? http://herefordmodels.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=369_370_377_386_388&products_id=5771

After new firmware chips from NCE for both the power cab and the 5A Power base - my option / functions works fine now.

Their Dapol Decoders seem cheap too... https://www.collettsmodelshop.co.uk/product-category/model-railways-2/oo-gauge/Dapol-oo-gauge/digital-decoders/

It is sad, having used the shop since it was first opposite Lawson St Police station, however my perception has been that it was always a little too kit biased and for whatever reason shunned DCC for far too long. As someone who still misses the random chaos that was Trains and Transport I think there was a bit of a lack of passion.

The 31 had chassis rot - so a spare was made up from plasticard - thus its a dummy and is dragged round by the 08 slowly to allow the layout operator to go for a pee and a brew...

Using the Imperium in mine - works fine.

I would suggest asking the the DJM section. Though given the demise of that vendor i would expect return. In other news some bargains: cheap parcels vans: https://railsofsheffield.com/products/27667/Bachmann-34-328a-oo-gauge-50ft-ex-lms-piii-parcels-van-br-blue-weathered Rails also seem to have quite a few sub £25 quid Bachmann Mk1s in various shades...

I struggle to grasp what you intentions of posting are in this thread - i recall lots of comment and no bargains? Perhaps there is an improvement opportunity here lets keep it on topic - for everyone to benefit. I don't model in O - but if these bargains keep coming and making it little more to do that OO i may need a bigger house.

Sorry to revive an old post. I am really struggling with my NCE - have tried both cabs - neither seems to be able to access anything beyond F12 - i know the shift key works as i can get f10-12 but no joy with shift headlight or option ( yes i reprogrammed to 122) - what am i doing wrong?

Just got my nice blue 26 from the KGR link a few pages back ... Runs nicely - now to find a decent sound project - and of course re-seat the classic Heljan light tubes which promptly fell out on body removal

I don't think you are grasping the wheel to steel interface aspect of running rails.
