RMweb Gold JohnR Posted March 19, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 19, 2021 I'm trying to look for some technical information on the model itself, but cant find it. Does anyone know if any has been published? Specifically around DCC decoder socket size, space for a speaker etc? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Max Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 This loco is designed to take a Next 18 decoder and an 11 x 15 speaker mounted in the tender. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold D9020 Nimbus Posted March 30, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 30, 2021 Presumably this is a Zimo decoder and with different sound files installed could be used on European locos with digitally-controlled couplings. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Press the function key and the loco will back up, pause, uncoupling sound, then move forward. This is a feature on ESU Decoders used for Krois Couplings. https://shop.krois-modell.com/Krois-Modell-Own-production/Digital-Couplers/Couplers-H0:::1_46_3.html The project was recorder at Aviemore during a full day recording session in 2019 Yes its on ESU LokSound Decoders.

It looks like a fantastic model to me, although LMS or BR black would only be appropriate for me anyway Am just following this thread and have found this video when it visited the SVR in 2011 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonathonAG Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 For Rails/DC kits, could either of you provide a short video perhaps of this DCC module and the quality it gives of the 812 class recordings? It's a lot of money to spend blindly, regardless of how much I would like a sound fitted version, and I'm betting I'm not in this boat alone. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlfaZagato Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 So, is September overall delivery date, then? I couldn't make clear of the email I had received whether it was just the sound-fitted models or not. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold adb968008 Posted April 17, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 17, 2021 (edited) Theres a worryingly large amount of models coming in September/October this year... its going to be expensive for everyone... consumers and trade.

LNWR18901910 Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 I already ordered mine and that would be the preserved example as built. Well, it's my love of old time stuff, of course. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't checked with UK retailers but in France model shops have started allowing online payment in 3 or 4 instalments, as have retailers specialising in photography kit. Quite handy to be able to spread the cost of £500 multiple unit or a £1500 drone or lens for example... much easier than putting a stop to the spending Alan 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium E100 Posted June 19, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 19, 2021 Very much looking forward to this. Have the original Caly Blue DCC Sound on order. Do we know anything about the motor at all? 5-pole/3-pole with/without flywheel? Also whether this has also wheel there is all wheel pickup? It won't change my decision but I am curious. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Call me traditional but I too would definitely hope for a non-coreless in a loco of this size and for this money but if the Precedent is then it sounds likely. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
