Going2theDogs Posted December 31, 2023 Share Posted December 31, 2023 HI all, Thought I would share with you this image showing the latest edition to my fleet - a class 59 in ARC livery. Now suitably DCC chipped, driver fitted and ready for duty….. PS - Agree about the comment about the PGA hoppers finished in the ARC paintwork…..

SouthernMafia Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 (edited) Has anyone had a go at correcting the lighting on the 59/1 or /2? Thanks to posters in this thread I sorted my 59/0 this week and very pleased (need to yellow the colour and prevent light bleed into tail lights). I started fiddling with my 59/1 and unfortunately have now lost the headlight at one end, grrr. May remedy by moving the left marker light to the headlight location as I very rarely change to night running. But, there must be a wiring fix to do this correctly, which I imagine involves splitting the markers and wiring them to the opposite day/night light. Both now sound fitted with excellent Biffo sound, and the 59/0 has the new ESU speaker which is a big improvement on the EM1 setup in the 59/1, tho still acceptable - just quieter!

I've been told by Dapol that the smoke unit is not controlled by the decoder. So the smoke unit is independent of decoder. So should be ok. I've seen my Dad's one in ARC livery. The quality and the paint finish / livery is superb. The pulling power and running are excellent too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

R.Langley Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 I've just purchased one of the Foster Yeoman 59005's in DC, but will want to convert to DCC when it arrives, an Imperium decoder seems to be the preferred one (not looking to do sound for now), but I'm wondering whether I should order an Imperium 1 (6 function) or Imperium 3 (8 function) for it? Any advice gratefully received. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any advice gratefully received. Given the price difference is minimal and that the Imperium 3 is sometimes cheaper, go 8 function as you may wish to reuse that later.

I've a DCC/smoke gen loco that I got when one of the retailers had them on special offer a couple of months ago. I'll be switching the smoke off when I put it into service! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The loco comes with some Dapol labelled fluid, though I don't know its composition. A couple of drops are administered via dropper through the exhaust.

I don't think we will see the next batch until at least late qtr 3/4 of the year as Dapol haven't shown any livery samples yet which they usually do when they have them.
