Gaugemaster Controls Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 (edited) The Gaugemaster Collection is a carefully chosen range of items, produced in conjunction with tried and tested manufacturers to bring items to market that perhaps wouldnt usually have seen the light of day. There are items planned in OO, N and O Scale, and all items are "one time only" production. These items are available from all UK model railway retailers, so you can purchase these products from your local Gaugemaster Stockist as well as ourselves. These two locomotives are now due in June/July 2019. Release has been delayed from the originally announced date due to the chassis being upgraded - the model can now also be fitted with a Next18 Decoder. Features of our Class 66 Locomotives: Next18 Decoder ready Detailed body with etched grills and separately fitted hand rails Darkened wheels and pin point bearings 5 Pole motor for smoother operation All wheel drive All Wheel pick up Directional lighting NEM couplings Includes both standard and knuckle couplings Includes spares bag with additional detailing parts 66789 'British Rail 1948-1997' On 27th February 2018, GBRf proudly unveiled their latest class 66 newly renamed ‘British Rail 1948-1997’ (formerly DB Cargo 66 250). The loco marks the 70th anniversary of British Railways. As well as the spectacular repaint into BR Large Logo Blue, the locomotive also underwent a number of modifications to bring it up to GBRf 66/7 standards and reliability. This locomotive is something of a celebrity with railway enthusiasts and will be popular with collectors and modellers alike. Our thanks go to GB Railfreight and Dapol for bringing this product to market. GM2210101 GBRf Class 66789 'British Rail 1948-1997' Large Logo Blue RRP £119.95 66783 'The Flying Dustman' On 28th March 2018, GB Railfreight 66783 (ex-DB Cargo UK 66058) was named "The Flying Dustman" at York station. This locomotive was painted in Biffa corporate colours to mark the partnership between GB Railfreight and Biffa, the well known waste management company. The name was chosen following a competition amongst the staff at Biffa who thought it an appropriate tribute to the somewhat better known train "The Flying Scotsman". Being a named example in an eye catching livery, this locomotive will be very popular amongst railway enthusiasts and modellers alike and we're grateful to both GB Railfreight and Dapol for bringing this product to market. PLEASE NOTE: - The picture we have used was taken prior to the naming of the locomotive. Our model will be of the named locomotive.

MightyMirrlees Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 As these have a Next18 decoder socket, does that mean the front and rear lights are independently controllable to allow for prototypical running when coupled up with wagons etc?

I believe so, otherwise why bother redesigning the PCB for Next18, but it would be nice to get confirmation. BTW the latest Dapol branded 66's also have the Next18 socket, which makes sense.

Yes, they are independently controllable - if I understand the instructions correct a 4 function decoder is needed (I'm using an Imperium in mine). Could potentially be annoying to setup the function mapping unless you have a SPROG and DecoderPro or similar - the instructions only have the barest mention of which funtion output goes where.

The instructions sound just like those for the CL68. Regards, John P Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Kaput Posted October 2, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 2, 2019 The 68's instructions at least gave the exact CV's needed for the Imperium to work the lights properly. The new 66 instructions don't even mention CV's, just function outputs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Piewalker Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 All lights are independently controllable. 'Front' and 'Rear' lights are the red and white lights respectively at once end, 'FO1' and 'FO2' are the red and white lights at the other end. By default these should be mapped to F1 and F2. I have a Bachmann/Zimo decoder in mine and have set it up for all combinations of headlights off, tail lights off, and both tail lights on when parked.
