I'm sure that you have announced that the next ones are going to be Regional Railways Express, Northern Rail Blue and Purple and some ex-Barbie Northern Rail ones at start of last franchise or done like they are now as de-branded.

If your meaning those being done after these, then I would recommend:

Northern Rail Blue and White
Northern Spirit Lime Green and Blue N
Northern Spirit unbranded with Arriva branding
National Express Scotrail Swoosh

Rainbow Railways are doing some Limited Edition Class 156 Units.

I wonder what the reasoning is behind renumbering it as a 156/9?

It is to do with differences in PIS/PA systems - apparently these units are ex-Scotrail and have a different system to the existing EMR units.

 

Basically, they can't 'talk' to each other electrically! The joys of each TOC & ROSCO doing there own thing (although BR did it too with dual-sourcing....).

I’m in the same position as you - still waiting on a preordered Provincial sound fitted. Still waiting on an update from Charlie too.

Interesting, and nicely done, although the blue looks much too light on the Central unit

I found that if you set the address of both cars together they end up going in opposite directions, so I reset the decoders and programmed them individually which solved the problem.

 

Is DaveClass47's problem the apparent mismatch between the ECoS and LokSound V5 I've seen on other threads?

I eventually went in to the ECoS and turned off the "M4 Protocol" which allowed me to address the decoders manually, as the ECoS wanted to autmatically pick up the decoders as two separate trains!  With the directional thing I changed a CV in one car to switch the direction.

To Reset the Units all you do id Reset:

 

Should give address 1564 and retain the correct directionality;

 

Car 1 toilet

 

CV17  = 198
CV18  =  28
CV29  =  62

 

Car 2 non-toilet

 

CV17  = 198
CV18  =  28
CV29  =  63

 

Hope this helps.    Charlie (Reatrack Models)

Hi everyone,

 

I would keep an eye on the Rainbow Railways website over the next couple of weeks as there will be further liveries to the 156 added. I saw Colin last night and had a look at the latest Northern variants coming soon. The latest white livery is my favourite with a lot of the small details printed on which is a nice touch.

 

I was never a fan of the refresher livery as it’s not a region I model but it does look really good on the 156 the colours.

 

cheers

Mark

Really!!!  At those prices I’m keeping my wallet firmly in my pocket.  Their DC only model is shy of a all singing and dancing DCC version (albeit not a Northern scheme) direct from Charlie.

 

If you did get one, you could get the sound decoders off Charlie and still save yourself £100.
