The Ghost of IKB Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 9 hours ago, thetrains said: I'll get there in the end, even if have to remove kinematic on detailed b/beam end. I had the occasional front bogie derailment (annoying as it meant repair work as pipes, steps or guard irons would sometimes be found in the ballast) so removed the front kinematic mech completely, after all it was doing nothing, hidden behind the pipes and ive no intention of selling them so dont care about resale value. They now never derail at all, over ten hours running at all speeds over some iffy trackwork and they cling on to the rails gracefully without a hint of trouble. The rear bogies are fine, maybe the weight of the train keeps the coupling mech in line. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Invicta Informant Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 On 25/06/2022 at 10:59, Invicta Informant said: Ballymoss arrived on the 17th and on the 23rd I had to sent it back. It seemed fine at first after running in on a rolling road, but it started being non-responsive on my test track on the 21st and I tried it again on my club's test track and same thing happened. The power light on the controllers (I run on analogue) would get dimmer the more I turned the controllers dials, which indicates to me the model must be shorting out somewhere. The returns/exchange process was very painless I am glad to say, but it is a shame I had to do this. I am currently awaiting a repair or replacement. To follow this up, I received my replacement Ballymoss last week and it has been running flawlessly. And no loose bits of detailing in the box either. Thank you very much Accurascale for your excellent customer and after care service. It is much appreciated. 6 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold RedgateModels Posted July 22, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 22, 2022 (edited) Had a play tonight with Ballymoss and some of my heritage deltics. from front to back, my Dapol bodied/a1/craftsman/Fox/Bachmann chassis dp1(which cost £68 in 2010), Accurascale Ballymoss, my childhood Lima deltic conversion of dp1-all my own work apart from the flush glaze and finally a bone stock Lima FAFY pretty pleased how well my 12 year old dp1 build holds up against Ballymoss. It now needs sound and lights. Any chance of a breaker body Fran to donate the cab and engine room lighting????? oh and sorry Fran & Co, I LOVE my AS deltic, but I love my own built DP1 more, but then I’m a modeller at heart 😉 Edited July 22, 2022 by RedgateModels 6 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dougal might have said, "That Ballymoss looks to be smaller than the Dapol, is it HO scale? And the Lima is much smaller Ted, is that N-Gauge then?"

RMweb Premium Popular Post boxbrownie Posted July 23, 2022 RMweb Premium Popular Post Share Posted July 23, 2022 My replacement Nimbus no longer derails coming out of curves onto straights thankfully, occasionally there is a small “click” which I assume it still the kinematic coupling not being as smooth as it could be within the mechanism. I haven’t played with the slow running yet, as Mum passed last week and we’ve been inundated with stuff to do and with family arriving and kiddlywinks since, and it’s keeping our minds in the right place. Modelling takes a firm back seat to real life. 28 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you read the CVs to make sure they are being set as required? If the CVs are set correctly then you may have a defective Powerpack.

metadyneman Posted July 24, 2022 Share Posted July 24, 2022 Well, my 55 001 has been back with Accurascale now for 14 days after having to return it with a motor/ running fault, and I haven't heard anything yet. They say allow 28 days so I guess this is going to go the whole distance before I get my lovely model back!

Steve Thanks Steve Programmed on Main and then thought that might be the issue so repeated on the programming track - all CV's definately changed. I have 2 Deltics and have only changed the one so far so will change the second and see what happens and report back. I have live frogs anyway and dont rely on stay alives so in many ways not an issue for me but being as its fitted I'd like to see it working :) 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
