BingleyWorks Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 @Nick G Well we're going to beat one of the couriers with a shoe as they've failed to deliver the screens twice now, but the rest of the prep work is still going well! The last tweaks to the firmware are making good progress, attached is a pic of the loco list on Fraser's test build model, and starting next week we should be contacting the preorder list for payments, finalizing assembly and starting the dispatch process! 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BingleyWorks Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 Final update for you all, we're finishing up assembly now and booting on the firmware, and ACE 3s start shipping out from next Monday! Also, for anyone along to Tonbridge on Saturday, we'll have a few units there up for sale as well! I'll still keep tabs on this thread post launch, as we're planning to add features and updates based on user feedback, so anyone who does go for one keep us in the loop with your experiences! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick G Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 Having been an ACE-2 user since 2019 and loving the system I decided to see what the ACE-3 is all about. Arrived today and just programmed two locos in. Seems it will be a good upgrade, I particularly like the loco list. Looking forward to more upgrades to it in the future. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium DLT Posted February 28 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 28 I'm a fan of the Signatrak, my club has one. I really think it gives you the best of both worlds. My thoughts were that I didn't was to HAVE to drive my train from a touchscreen, nor did I want a handset that was a mass of buttons. The ACE, with it's touchscreen base and simple handset is perfect for me! Cheers, Dave. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My favouite thing is being able to label all the functions so you dont have to thing which F button to press. The loco list is a great new feature on the 3.

PaulR Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 Will the new handset be able to work with an Ace 2? I am thinking of the new handset's ability not to have to be "taken over" from the Ace 2 itself Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium DLT Posted March 24 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 24 The ACE-3 looks good, and I REALLY like the loco list. This could tempt me back to DCC myself!!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
