Butler Henderson Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 There is a red blind at one end on mine and a white at the other end 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold RFS Posted January 19 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 19 As I've mentioned earlier in this thread, I've fitted a Lenz Silver21+ decoder to both my recently-purchased models. I haven't bothered changing the CVs and the result is that F1 turns on the white front blind, F2 the red rear blind and F0 operates the cab lights which are directional so only one cab light is lit according to the loco's current direction.

Butler Henderson Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 Thinking of redoing the light wiring on mine with added white and red LEDs to the respective headcode displays. The white headcode LEDs connected to F0 instead of the cab lights. The cathodes of the red LEDs and cab lights also connected to appropriate F0 feed. The red LEDs anodes connected to the switched output of a relay and the cab light anodes to the switched output of another relay. Then both connected to the appropriate F0 feed. The relays being worked by F1 and F2 with a 1N4001 diode in reverse across the coil connections to suppress the relay and protect the decoder. Would need the 10k resistors on the main PCB shorted out and replacement 10k added to the six LED cathode connections. As such the rear cab light could be switched on if desired and red rear headcode displayed as necessary. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than that I can't find anything else that matches unless it's part of the accessories. which I haven't yet fitted.

Had a couple of other identifiable bits fall off as well and on gluing one part back on another two fell off. Seems their must have been severe glue useage restrictions in the factory when it was put togteher. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first thing I do with any new Dapol 73 is to spend time gluing all the loose bits on the bogies first. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ended up creating a whole new body and using Dapol cabs grafted on before adding the WIPACs and everything else for both the sleeper and GBRF 9s 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest I had misgivings about the model based on previous form although I'd long wanted a 73. However, having had it out on test I am very pleased. It runs like a dream with none of the issues that had been reported on earlier releases.
