BromsMods Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 I am now out of hospital and will try to deal with outstanding queries and orders from tomorrow. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BromsMods Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 As the result of a long conversation I had with TCS HQ yesterday about pricing, accessibility and a number of other things the TCS shopping website may not show the correct UK product prices for the next few days (or even a week or so) whilst they try to make the shopping experience proceed more smoothly for UK and European customers. Sincere apologies for this blip but I am anxious to improve UK customer access to TCS products by reducing the complexity of on-line purchasing. In the meantime I would suggest that orders can be made by phone direct to me, using the number on the TCS home page. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeg Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 John, can you tell me if I can install a say alive on the motor output of a TCS T1 decoder, its an old one that I am reusing for O gauge coach lighting and need to stop the flickering. I have looked on the TCS website but the current stay alive units don’t seem to be able to plug into the 3 pin socket on the chip. I know that I am asking for information about a very old chip but it appears to be still available on the website so hope you can help? Hope you are recovering well from your operation and keeping well. regards mike Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BromsMods Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 Are you the Mike G who emailed me the same question on Jan 21st? If so, the answer is still the same. TCS decoders use software to enable and disable KeepAlive, so if your decoder does not support Keep Alive®, it may not work. Keep Alive® supported code for TCS decoders was implemented fully by November 2012. If the date code in your decoder is before this date, Keep Alive® may never enable. CV's 250, 251, and 252 read as the month, day, and year of manufacturing Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Neil P Posted February 24, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 24, 2021 On 28/02/2020 at 20:20, Crosland said: Any decent European system will have support in JMRI, hence (albeit with a PC or Raspberry Pi) can support the UWT-100 via the WiThrottle server. It says as much in their blurb. Does this mean that you could use a withrottle controller with iTrain, by connecting your command station (such as the Digikeijs DR5000) to both JMRI and iTrain?

BromsMods Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 The TCS website now has a new shopping cart set up specifically for UK users. Hopefully this will provide a much smoother and overall easier experience for UK customers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BromsMods Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 The new TCS shopping site specifically for UK customers only is at https://uk.tcsdcc.com/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BromsMods Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 Just a heads up that, whilst the Bromsgrove Models website has now closed, the TCS UK website is still functional. Having said that I have managed to get the management at TCS to reappraise their sales strategy and TCS products are once again going to be available through retail outlets in the UK. This process has already started and Digitrains, Coastal DCC and DCC Train Automation should have stocks soon, if not already. I am hoping that more retail outlets will be added to the list in the next few months. Any retailers interested in taking up TCS products should contact me direct. Whilst the stocks of TCS products start to grow in retail outlets the direct ordering option will continue but stocks will gradually be run down so if you are hoping to purchase from TCS UK please use the web address given in the post above. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BromsMods Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 I have just been informed that TCS is increasing prices from 21st January - for full details see https://mailchi.mp/tcsdcc/vote-for-tcs-throttle-in-Hornby-model-railway-awards-13556710?e=853a8aad24 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BromsMods Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 Please note that it is no longer possible to order TCS products via the uk.tcsdcc.com website but go to Digitrains or Coastal DCC to order within the UK or use the tcsdcc.com website to order products that are not held within UK retail outlets.
