I have recorded a video showing fitting of decoder and speaker into a class 401 as well as running through the sounds of the forthcoming class 423/4VEP sound profile:

I have a video to go out at 9:15am on the 2nd covering the full releases. I did get the press release and media library so it isn’t guesswork and covers all the items being announced with high-res images:

Wiring the motor outputs from a decoder to the track will mean that for most decoders any short will pop the decoder.

Probably means that Lais are pirating Dapol too. I clarified with Dapol, that Lais are nothing legitimately to do with Dapol’s decoders.

Just to be clear, Dapol Imperium are not made by Lais and have nothing to do with Lais. Lais are pirated versions of the older DCCconcepts blue decoders

The four newest profiles and what they sound like. Just gone live: class 20, W1 rebuilt and unrebuilt, and King.

With the class 110 forthcoming, I suspect it might be that. The absence of the class 20 was glaring - it was the best TTS profile and sounded as good, if not better than those costing more than twice as much. No GWR profiles (we have had King, Castle and Saint on TTS) has also been glaring. I would hope for at least a King profile to tie in with those announced in the 2024 range.

For me, an obvious candidate for a Dublo release would be the N2. Long overdue a retool anyway, with the current tooling cascaded to the Railroad Plus range. The question then is aside from the 69567 and 69550 models plus LNER green and LNER black, would they release faux LMS, Southern and GWR versions? I doubt there would be a huge number of new tooled items. I think the Railroad plus range will continue to expand. I would like to see the D49 get a retool - long overdue and no one else does one. with some of the quirky items like W1 and the turbomotive being quite successful, is there room for something else of this vein? Plenty of prototypes never done still to choose from. I bet 100% someone is hard at work on a T3 model. Is it Hornby? This would be when it gets announced if they are.

The skeletal logging cars have just arrived from KR Models. These are really good, with plenty of detail. They come in three varieties: unloaded, with three logs and with six logs. the logs are really good. Made of resin they are really well finished and look like real logs. They come in several different diameters for variety. All cars come with chains that can be used to lash down the logs and these attach to the outriggers quite well without needing glue.

Don’t read too much into the pictures of the speaker and motor as the motor is out of a GT3 and the speaker is out of a Fell. I’m sure someone is just being creative for purposes of having photographs to use in their emails.

I have no idea. You would have to ask KR Models directly.

I filmed the EP last Sunday, for a video to be released tomorrow. The EP runs, has working front light and firebox glow. There are some things still being worked on and will be changed from this EP.

I got one of these from TMC as they have them in their Autumn sale. I have to say, I really like the livery application. It seems okay on mine.
