We have two choices, ask every one to pay now OR as we get them ready we ask you then.  We are doing the latter.

 

The more phone calls I get and the more E.Mail I get, sadly less are able to be sent out.  Please dont panic.   Charlie

Hi Charlie

no panic here just wondered what to look out for- now I know thank you

Hi . I have a none DCC sound provincial 156 . I note now that the ‘Twin sound fitted ‘ 156 is only £110 more than the none sound I pre ordered. As I need DCC sound I was wondering if anyone could enlighten me if these are actually fitted with 2 chips . I was under the impression I had to fit 2 x V5 chips , 1 to each to get DCC sound which is obviously hugely more expensive than £340 all in !

They do have 2 decoders however the factory decoders are LokSound Selects which are cheaper for manufacturers/retailers to use as they can't be (easily) reblown.

Thanks for that . It’s confusing because the website quotes V 5 which would lead you to conclude it must have loksound v 5.0 (or 2!) within . Except the price doesn’t reflect that .

Yes, the sound fitted models as supplied by Charlie have two decoders.  The Scotrail one that I have has, I understand, two V4 Loksound Select chips, whereas the newer models will have the V5 Loksound Select fitted in each car.

 

One of the reasons I got the sound fitted one was the fact that it was clearly cheaper to buy it sound fitted from the start than buy two sound chips a later date.

And now we start again:

 

The next Class 156 is being planned, lots of folk keep asking for Anglia & Northern Spirit.    Any thought chaps.

Hi Charlie & Arran, 

 

Hope you are both well? 

 

Glad to hear you are planning for the next batch. 

 

Anglia Class 156 as in the current Anglia white with red doors? I model the DRS short sets in Anglia so I would be interested in one or maybe two of these, because it would make a nice variety of traction to run together. Regarding Northern 156s I would prefer Northern Rail purple or the current Northern Rail white as opposed to the Northern Spirit. 

 

I look forward to hearing more about the next batch in due course.

Well I'd like one (or maybe even two) in SPT Carmine and Cream livery to operate alongside my First 'Barbie' liveried one.  However, maybe it's only fair that you cater for other regions first.  It gives everyone a chance to buy at least one.

I’ll take one of each lol.  Seriously, I’d love to see a Anglia closely followed by a latest liveried Northern version.

Hi Charlie

 

Could you let us know when all the provincial 156s have been dispatched, so that anyone who has not received theirs can get in touch with you.  

 

Thanks

 

Roddy

E.Mail me @ charlie@dckits.co.uk with your info please.   Charlie
