charliepetty Posted January 30, 2018 Author Share Posted January 30, 2018 Charlie / Arran, Will there be any of the Saltire Liveried 156s available to buy at Model Rail Scotland ??

cs233 Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 It is good to see that the Class 156 seems to be selling really well, it deserves to be a success and it has been. I see the Provincial ones also being very popular when they arrive. I know the site states March arrival but my instincts feel with the delays it will likely be around August.

The original Scotrail was 5 months late, thus missing xmas. So we have to raise the funds through sales for the next batch. Thus April + 5 Months in a bit later than you suggest. Sadly the factory is busy with Warley & Xmas products for then so it probably is later. Charlie Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dungrange Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Still waiting on my order for RT156-112 sound fitted. Order no. 379 Unfortunately the Glasgow show is too far away from Sydney Peter Peter, given that I only got mine last week, it seems that Charlie is still sending them out and it will no doubt take longer to reach Sydney. I can also see why he is running out of tape, as mine was well packaged with plenty of tape having been used. The only issue that I have with mine is that I bought a DCC Sound fitted version and don't yet have a DCC controller. Trying to run it in on my club's DC controlled 00 'tail chaser' I have two units that want to go in opposite directions - ie both cars want to go forward (ie away from one another), That meant running each car separately, which looked a little strange. I think it's just a simple CV change (CV29) to one of the units. Can anyone advise whether it matters which one is allocated values of 7 and which 14?

peter1 Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 Mine arrived unannounced yesterday,RT156-112 smashing model, but I have an anomaly with the sound decoders. Using my NCE power pro (5amp) I can change the address to a long one i.e. 1561. But when the 156 is stopped, it won't then respond to the move command! All the lights, sounds etc respond to this long address. But the model will only move if I set the address to the default of 3!! I've tried a cv8 reset but the same thing happens again. Any suggestions will be most welcome. Peter Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

arran Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 i I think it has 2 decoders you may have to program each car seperately? HI All You do have to program each half separately, Do NOT do them at the same time as it screws up the whole job. It does say that on the front of the booklet.

peter1 Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 Hi guys, I did heed the warning on the booklet and programmed the two decoders separately. I turned off the layout power and gave up for a while. When I returned to have another go lo and behold the 156 responded to the long address !!! I will try the layout later today and see what happens Peter Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
srihaggis Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 Had a chance to finally have a play with my 156's on a mates layout, they perform very well, smooth, gradients aren't an issue, though one units engine start doesn't start separately as per the manual but no big deal. Such a shame you made a good product, I now want more 156s lol 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie I've never had that with my unit, they always start and shut down separately - first one then the other - every time.........were they not originally programmed to do this ?

Running out of tape!!! Hi Charlie, I've still not had a reply, I sent an email as requested and waited 3 weeks before sending another but still nothing? Is there a problem.
