RMweb Premium melmerby Posted December 6, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 6, 2018 (edited) Excellent service from Gaugemaster as it is already in the post. Keith Seems that it is now in the black hole which is RM. Gaugemaster said it had been handed to carrier (Amazon e-mailed to confirm) Royal Mail 10 hours later say they are waiting to receive the package from the sender!

WIMorrison Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 Keith Your amazon confirmation is automatically produced when the supplier shows the order as despatched, it doesn’t mean that the supplier has actually given the item to Royal Mail, in fact it doesn’t mean that it has even left their premises Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium melmerby Posted December 6, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 6, 2018 The First message after the order confirmation said that the parcel had been handed to the carrier, and had a tracking number. Checking the tracking number at first got no result, later awaiting parcel from sender. The second said shipped (is that different to "handed to carrier"?) The tracking number still said awaiting parcel from carrier. Just a bit inconsistent It now says arrived at Gatwick Mail Centre as does the tracking info.

WIMorrison Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 That would make sense as arrival at Gatwick was the first time that the barcode was scanned as having entered into the postal system, prior to that it was just in the bag that GaugeMaster handed to the man picking up the mail and as he doesn't have a scanner it wasn't register as being in the Royal Mai system The other messages were from Amazon and a result of actions by GaugeMaster not Royal Mail. Just the same as me (or you) printing a registered postage package at home which will show as not within the mail system until I take it to the Post Office and it is scanned by them. Hopefully with you today when this video will help you. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium melmerby Posted December 7, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 7, 2018 Hopefully with you today Tracking shows out for delivery with the local postie this morning. Last time I had something ordered this way the messages were more useful Something like: Despatched> at Gatwick> At local DO> Out for delivery. Too many messages makes for unnecessary confusion IMHO. e.g. What's the difference between "Handed to carrier" & "Shipped" ? Thanks for the video, I'll be looking at that once it arrives.

Guest Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 I wonder if the LZV200 will be arrived out earlier before SET101? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold RFS Posted December 8, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 8, 2018 Lenz have said that not only will the LZV200 be available to purchase, but there will also be an option to upgrade your existing LZV100 to LZV200. Presumably this will be on similar lines to the trade-in offer to replace the LH100 handset with the LH101. No details of timescales yet of course - only Lenz can tell us these.

Guest Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 I have now LH101 Lenz new throttle and it works nice. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bilbo Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 I emailed A&H Models about the exchange scheme for the LH101 even though it wasn't on their website at the time. That was barely 2 weeks ago and they told me that they would need the LH90 which I was exchanging and that they would send it to Germany for exchange. They said it would be 4 weeks. Yesterday I had a call from them asking for my card details as they had stock from Germany and this morning it arrived. Cost £95 inc post and packing. Tested and working. Cannot speak highly enough about the service from A&H as this is the 2nd time I have used them and both times were brilliant. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold RFS Posted January 24, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 24, 2019 Lenz have nade some announcements here in their latest newsletter (in German) - https://www.lenz-elektronik.de/pdf/Lenz-Anzeiger-04.pdf I also been told that the arrival of new SET101 (LZV200 command station and LH101 throttle) is imminent ...

ryan1 Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 So what's happening with all the traded in hand controllers? Can we obtain any second hand? I know Lenz want us to upgrade but some of us might be happy with what we've got. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know Lenz want us to upgrade but some of us might be happy with what we've got. Might be worth emailing or ringing A&H. I know they told me they needed my LH90 to send to Germany so that I could have the LH101 but they may be able to persuade Lenz to let them sell them.Its in both their interests I would think.

RMweb Premium melmerby Posted February 5, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 5, 2019 "Damage caused by wear, normal use or improper use of the equipment is excluded from the warranty" Pretty well excludes everything then! Keith 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold NoggintheNog Posted February 5, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 5, 2019 I agree with the point about the warranty, but I have to say that I have a set 100 and a compact I've been using for more years than I can count. I bought both from the original Lenz importer, Mackays (McKays - can't remember), so that has to be at least 12 years ago I would guess, and both have worked perfectly from then. Never had an issue, and they still work just as well today. I don't think the new set due out is a big enough advance over the current one, it already looks dated compared to most of the competition, but in terms of build and reliability, I suspect it will be the best on offer. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ouroborus Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 Agree. I'm pondering a new controller. I've had the lenz set for over a decade. I wish they could have taken the opportunity to make it a more modern. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what you are expecting in terms of being more modern. The LZV200 will have a built-in PC interface as well as a global Railcom detector. Plus it will have the ability to update the software directly via USB stick. The LH101 is also a big improvement over the LH100. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new set overall is an improvement over the previous set but more what I would have expected 5 years ago. It is IMHO Too little too late. When I bought my set some years back, when V3.6 had just been released it was the bees knees, superior than Digitrax at the price but it has now been well overtaken by more modern gear, mainly from other European manufacturers. It does have the advantage of many years at the game with an enviable reliability record, however Lenz is now playing catch up. and IMHO needs to bring more innovation to the marketplace A PC (USB) interface but why no LAN? Looks like using wireless connection is going to be a PITA as well Stuck with just the RS bus, many newer devices have multi-protocols as well. Maybe adding a Loconet connection would have added to it's appeal? As you can see from my signature I have now invested in a Roco Z21 which is the sort of kit that I think Lenz should be doing now. However I also have to keep the Lenz because of my RS bus devices. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
