I know nothing about DCC but this does not sound correct to me. Seems like a bonus if correct for those with iffy track. The DCC ready versions have the power pack and small speaker i bilieve. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can get capacitors to work on analogue. Hobby Trax, for example, sell ones that fit into DCC Ready 8 pin locomotives. I’ve used them on a Hornby 66 and a Bachmann Plasser crane to boost their pick up of electrical current. I suspect that Accurascale’s is fancier, but still works the same way.

At least they’ve noticed it’s fitted to the DCC ready model. Hornby magazine have said, for the Deltic, the 92 and the 37, that DCC sound is fitted with stay alive as an extra feature not found on DCC ready 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Bucoops Posted June 8, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 8, 2023 Oh Accurascale, do stop teasing. That's twice I've had a "please review your sound decoder" email - but you've not sent it to me yet 🤣 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the other case, people probably are tired of asking, lost hope, lost trust, lost interest - the excitement just isn't there. When the models arrive, it's a moment where you yawn and say "Oh, it's here" and then back to working on other stuff. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I know about those (great innovation), however I've not come across one that can work on both DC and DCC as very few obviously have them built in separate to the DCC socket, which is the only way for that to work. Happy to be proved wrong since my electrical knowledge is limited. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Walker Posted June 9, 2023 Share Posted June 9, 2023 As no-one appears to have had one or received a despatch email, do you think there's a problem with them? Maybe soggy boxes due to water ingress into the container, just thinking out of the box. (Excuse the pun). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s the large logo ones. There are the 2 sector ones and the one in the rather fetching banger blue with white stripe which have landed and were going to be distributed from 2nd June.

Seriously? That’s “strange” to you? Have you never been rushed off your ars@ at work and stuff slips a couple of days? I don’t see anything strange in the least, logic immediately suggests that they didn’t go Monday after all. Surely? 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be beyond excited about getting something and then because of a slight delay be totally “meh” when it arrives? When ordered my Alfa from the factory in Italy it was delayed by months, a total of 3 times. Just made me want it more. For the people who are like you describe, I presume they are from the instant gratification generation? 4 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
