Ghosttrains Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 The rear wheel set next to the middle of the two carriages is not moving but I don't know to treat it with oil Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium JDW Posted December 29, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 29, 2017 I think you're talking about the driven bogie, if the axle isn't turning then there's probably something wrong with the gears driving it. If its not moving, oil will be of no help, and probably do more harm than good. Send it back to Charlie and let him have a look. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhys Underwood Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 As Mr Petty said: So PLEASE comment on the stuff with suggestions, comments and possible new projects!! Central Trains 156 in the Green and Blue would be a good one, they were known to make it as far as Cardiff..... Pacer wise, how about a 143 in Valley Lines and Visit Bristol Back?

Guest eddie reffin Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Thanks Charlie and Arran, my second 156 arrived today. Absolutely superb chaps! 156477 is the only 156 I have driven in real life during my training so has a wee bit of a special place in my heart. Time to start saving for a third! 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

srihaggis Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 (edited) Can I have a replacement box sticker for my ScotRail Barbie... it shows a spotty 156 on my sticker (Joking) Edited January 4, 2018 by srihaggis Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest eddie reffin Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 Probably asking the obvious here but anyway..... Is this an operational speaker? Apologies if I'm coming across as thick! The connections are marked LS+ and LS- so am fairly confident in it but just wanted find out if there was actually a speaker in the enclosure. With possible the exception of the Dapol 68, this has got to be the easiest model to fit a decoder to! The more i look at the units, the more I find brilliant features.

159220 Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 (edited) Hmm something not quite right about the colour. I have made my recommended changes Seeing as it is Christmas, please can we have a GA 156? So if I wanted one of these, seeing your Provincial runs are 150 units. Would I have to order 150 x GA units? I can do this... anyone want to help by buying 148 off me? Could this be a RMWeb Exclusive edition? Seeing as all the GA 156s shall be gone by end of next year. Really want some! Would like the older National Express 'One' debranded too. Edited January 12, 2018 by 159220 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

tractor_37260 Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 (edited) Well my Barbie has finally arrived - WOW it's most impressive, the complicated livery paint finish being flawless. Very well packed, both inner and outer, with no loose parts on opening ! . It's was a little bit sticky on it's first run, but I'm confident that will disappear once fully run-in. The manual states the volume (CV63) is set at max = 192 it's actually 120 but loud enough for now. May consider adding some extra speakers as time permits, a post earlier in this thread shows a unit fitted with what looks like the active driver part from an EM 1 or 2 fitted.....in the chassis ? hmm........ Although the model has 3 lighting modes, unless I'm missing something, there appears to be no provision for switching the lighting/tail lights to suit multi-unit working ? With fitted interior lighting, it now needs some passengers and a driver /guard to populate it.......... All in all very pleased indeed with it, the bar for the forthcoming re-tooled 158 has now been truly raised way way up........................

Sorry. Charlie In that case can I return it ! Seriously, that's a shame - perhaps a missed opportunity, especially with 6 function outputs available per car. After having a quick look at the function mapping on the Lokprog, I have a couple of ideas which hopefully should allow each car to have it's own tail light switch via separate F keys. That's the plan, but it remains to be seen if the wiring may also require altering to achieve this ? It would then allow for no lights between multi coupled units, with only lights at the front and rear. If it all goes pear shaped then there's always CV8 - nothing ventured - nothing gained................... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
