Great Western Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 Another winner, really looking forward to a 14 to join my panniers. Fantastic project guys ! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barnaby Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 (edited) Yes that's a great loco to have Gents. One of these will fit in very well on my layout and even though I took a decision to build my layout up first I may have to weaken and get one soonest to have a play. Delivery expected to be in Spring 2020 which does give me ample months to get much more of the layout built. Time to check the over buffers length will fit my loco release sections Well done Chris & Chris this will be another winner, time to start a kitty for a Teddy a DCC sound fitted version sounds just right.

RMweb Gold Happy Hippo Posted May 14, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 14, 2019 (edited) And working wind screen wipers would be a nice touch. DCC controlled so you have the option!

(But any user can remove this feature if they should wish, CV309 = 0 will remove it, CV309 = 2 will put it back on F2, Cv309 = X will put it on F key 'X'). Several new features will also be incorporated. Minerva seeks to be at the forefront of sound project development in 0 Gauge.

RMweb Gold RedgateModels Posted May 14, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 14, 2019 Thanks for confirming that @pauliebanger - can I make a request that if the tail lights are to be independently controlled can the F button be in the 0-10 range? (and the cab light too - auto extinguish on moving off of course!) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

(and the cab light too - auto extinguish on moving off of course!) Chris Klien and Chris Basten are in charge of the model's specification; I will be responsible for making it sound and work in as prototypical way as possible. Cab light auto-off on moving may be incorporated, but not all users like this being the default state. Some prefer to be able to leave cablights illuminated during movements. The auto-off can be added to any function output by changing the value in just 1 CV so this choice may be left to individual users. It's not a big deal. You can relax, the sound project will be great. The real story here is the news that there will be a fine, affordable, 7mm model of a very useful diesel loco with the heritage and proven record of quality and timely delivery of Minerva Model Railways behind it.

F-UnitMad Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 On 12/05/2019 at 22:19, Miss Prism said: It would be nice not to have a rigid chassis over that wheelbase. Now that I do have to agree with very strongly. I have a PRMRP Class 14, still not fully finished after *ahem* years, but I had a completely new chassis built for it with compensation built in. It needs it on my trackwork. Hopefully Minerva will address this, other than that, this is a fantastic announcement and I will place an order soon. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium New Haven Neil Posted May 14, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 14, 2019 (edited) Oh. Ooooh. Indeed. Some ran at Backworth colliery too. Eeeeh, oh my. Need. But - will it traverse 40" radius Peco Setrack curves, please? I'm going to have to use them so need to know before ordering.

AeBor Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 This is excellent news Team Minerva. I shall also be pre-ordering at the Doncaster O Gauge Show. I will have to start saving the pennies as I would like one of the HDC versions but also have one repainted into BR Blue as per the CTRL loanee. So, who will be first to model the Loadhaul version? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As has been written earlier, we have specified the capability to negotiate PECO Setrack curves. It is a demanding challenge for our designer and engineer and we look forward to seeing the solution.
