reevesthecat Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 Thanks have contacted hattons who have none left of that model so emailed DCC supplies who will hopefully reply Monday. I already have 2 with no issues. Thanks for the support Mark Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just sits on the track and buzzes no movement or buzzing on DC either. Anyone else had this issue? Thanks Mark One of mine had the exact same issue and can't remember the exact solution top of my head but I (think) it was a CV reset that fixed it (But NOT the resetting of the decoder itself) and / or reset of the DCC Controller to factory settings and all then seemed to work fine afterwards. Apologies can not be of more help was a few months back and did not write the solution down at the time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No reply from the email to Dapol service agent but to be fair didn't follow it up with phonecall etc so may not have been received. Mark Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJennings Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 (edited) Just seen on Dapol’s Facebook page they are now taking pre-orders for their OO factory fitted sound TPE 68 - RRP £250. Order since duly placed. Edit: should mention scale! Edited December 17, 2018 by RJennings Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRAILRAGE Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 Hope everyone's having a good Christmas. My Father purchased 68010 from Hattons back in October as a Christmas present and got round to trying it today. Has anybody had any trouble with theirs pulsing when moving? Mine seems to be particularly bad. I'm convinced it has been run in but he seems to think not. I will try running in for an hour or so each direction to see if it helps but I'm a bit concerned.

159220 Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 Use the ‘no quibble’ 24 month warranty through Dapol, you shall have no worries. A good small shop tests their stock before they post for freem alas, Hattons don’t. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium DRS Crewe On A Mission Posted January 2, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 2, 2019 Just out of interest do people run the Dapol Network Rail Yellow JNAs and IOAs with Chiltern liveried 68s? I know that this formation is prototypical but I am just curious as to how many people model it as I may decide to do the same. Thank you in advance.

As in the real world I try to mix things up, if a loco is not working its not making money Thanks for the reply and very true. If I'm honest I prefer seeing them work with other stock as opposed to the Chiltern stock. The silver and grey is a nice contrast to the Network Rail Yellow. Greater Anglia Mk3s Railtours Autoballasters Just go and flickr and search any of the Chiltern fleet for more. Thanks for posting Mick, I haven't seen these formations before. I may run Chiltern 68s with other coaching stock as these photos show that it is prototypical. The silver and grey provides a nice combination with the Anglia MK3s. It's good to see that their is a variety of stock that the Chiltern 68s work with that can be modelled. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

classy52 Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 Does anyone know how to replace a buffer or put one on with these 68's? I have one buffer that isn't sprung anymore and took it off to have a look and the parts look ok (buffer, sleeve & spring) but I'll be damned if I can get it back on and sprung again. Any advice would be most welcome. Cheers Steve Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found that if you turn the buffer on it's side, push it in on that angle and then turn it to the appropriate position it will stay fixed in that position.
