RMweb Premium Daddyman Posted March 13, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 13, 2019 Boiler 2" smaller in diameter; taller, slimmer dome with safety valves on top; whistle in the position later occupied by safety valves on a J36; no coal rails on tender on 1888-1896 batches, but present on later batches; smaller brake shoes on some locos, but J36-style shoes on others - I'm not sure if this depends on build date, or on photo date (I only have early photos of early locos, so not sure if they changed). The Hornby cab seems to be a separate moulding, yes - judging by the horrible gap between it and the footplate. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GNR Dave Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 Thank-you Daddyman. I'll look into this further now. With your info, I think it's possible. The boiler diameter is only 0.7mm at scale and I can live with that. I've ordered the NB and LNER versions, but for the conversion I think I'll wait to see if one of the box-shifters puts a hefty discount on the J36 later in the year. That way if I make a pigs ear of the modification the financial loss will be less. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may re-number my version as LNER (not L&NER) 9722, but retain the lining, because I want to run it alongside my Hornby D49 2753 Cheshire Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Transfers are available but you would have to replace the number plate as this loco wasn't a ROD one. Better than waiting for the incorrectly coloured khaki one Hornby currently intend producing.

Steamport Southport Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 Or remove the decoder and sell it on to someone who wants one for a different J36. I'm pretty sure there will be demand.

We've had a couple of people who have requested we tested this feature before we sent these, and in both cases we've had no luck - we're running a Gaugemaster DCC01 on the DCC, and a Gaugemaster Model D on the DC. I'd be interested to hear from anyone who does have a 'Maude' that does run on DC, and if any changes were needed to accommodate this.

RMweb Gold Kaput Posted March 28, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 28, 2019 If its anything like the recent Tornado TTS fitted release then DC running was turned off out of the box on the two I've had. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GNR Dave Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 So as a DC luddite, can someone please explain to me how I can 'turn DC back on' ? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Reid Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 Reading the instructions the decoder is supposed to have CV29 set to a value of 6 to enable DCC and DC running - if I'm reading it correctly it needs to have 4 added to the DCC only value of 2 for this to work - the CV Notes supplied explains this but having read it, I'm confused already though that's through ignorance of the more complex bits of DCC decoders on my part! The short answer is you would need to check the loco on DCC to see if it is set with CV29 to a value of 6 to enable running on both DC & DCC. I couldn't find the Sound Decoder Manual on the Hornby Website otherwise I'd include a link to it but I'm sure Hornby's service department will oblige. I'll try mine shortly on DC and DCC. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Legend Posted March 29, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 29, 2019 But I take it if you only run DC all you need to do is completely remove chip and insert blanking plate Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Reid Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 Certainly the main instructions show an 8-pin (NMRA Std. apparently) blanking plate under section 6. DCC Ready / Sound however no reference is made to removing the factory fitted sound decoder just that there's space in the tender beside it for a 28mm speaker.

RMweb Gold adb968008 Posted March 29, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 29, 2019 This is TTS sound, I understand it doesn’t work on DC. My plan of action is to immediately remove and ebay off the chip, as i’m DC only. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Reid Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 The sound won't work as noted earlier, but DC operation should - well according to Hornby it should. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckymucklebackit Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 Don't make the same silly mistake that I did! I bought a Hornby TTS class 40 at Model Rail Scotland, shop owner tested it for me on DC and it ran perfectly, I got it home and it ran OK in one direction but would start and stop in the other direction, I asked for advice online and I was asked if I had a Relco, which I have - turns out I was lucky not to fry the chip as DCC chips and Relcos do not make good bedfellows apparently. Loco ran fine once the Relco was switched out of line. Jim Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
