Could you post a picture of the nose doors? I'm thinking about a welded doors conversion and a photo of both sides would be very useful.

 

Thanks

Help, my sound fitted 37051 doesn’t make sound, the motor works the lights work but when I tried to start it I got a second of startup then it cut out and nothing since, all I get is a crackling sound I have reset cv8 a few times and it makes no difference, I have asked Accurascale but all they could suggest is reset cv8. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Reset CV63 (the volume setting) to 160 and all should be OK. I had the same problem with my first Accurascale 37.

Yes I have to lose some roof rivets on the 109

Just remember it's not just the rivets , the strapping needs to go to for a welded roof

Quick question, has anyone noticed a tapping sound when the loco is running? One of mine does and it sounds exactly as my 55 did with a blob of glue on one wheel. The issue is I can't see or feel any glue! Just wondering if anyone has encountered similar. Thought I'd ask on here as I am away during the week when I could email AS's support but I might not see the reply.

Did you resolve this issue? I had the same problem with one of mine that arrived recently , been running them on code 75 bullhead and one of the sandpipes had come loose and was catching on the rail chairs

Sorry if this is a silly question Bill but have you run it round a curve with F11 actioned? It won’t work on the straight, rolling road etc.

Yep! And it's a Prodigy Advance 2.

It’s switch on the prodigy advance. That’s what I use. Which leads to another question for Bill and apologies again if it’s a daft one but you’re not using the Prodigy Express are you?  If it’s a Prodigy advanced does ‘F11’  display on the screen and stay on the screen?

No! Advance.

Perhaps an email to Accurascale support then. I’m sure they’ll point you in the right direction.

I did contact them and they said send a short video. I have for the last 2 hours been trying to do so and each time I try to send it , tells me the file is too large and won't send.

That'll likely be a limitation of your email provider.  Upload the video to a suitable website and send AS a link?

That won't be Accurascale's fault, it will be down to your email provider.

 

As someone who works in IT support, my recommendation would be to upload to somewhere like Microsoft OneDrive, Google Drive or similar then share it via a link.

Smooth roof 😊 now realising I will have to do the same with 324 (099) least it is within the removable roof section.

Yes one of my sand pipes is click, click, click on the sleepers.

I had that too. I just shaped it back up where it was supposed to sit.

Good suggestions. 😎

 

Other methods I have used include a Dropbox share (I only use the free version of Dropbox so there are file size limits there too, but still much larger than allowed in emails).

The other method I use is to upload to YouTube, and if necessary, set it to a private video so only those who have the link can see it.

I downloaded WeTransfer to send a video to Accurascale support, to Simon, with a Deltic sound issue.

Your research on 37 roofs is immense! I totally overlooked that. Usually I will look for things like cast/fabricated bogies, bodyside windows/footsteps, tanks etc, unfortunately that was a "before" pic since refitting the doors. I had to repaint the whole yellow ends, as when filling the car headlight recess with milliput and repainting the doors, the yellow wasnt a perfect match. Should be able to sand the doors flat, or neatly cut plasticard into the door recesses, but will need painting whatever way. With flush front, I would just glue In thin plasticard in the door recesses and fill with milliput. 

 

All the best

Good morning all

I currently have 3 class 37s from Accurascale, one of which was factory fitted sound and for the other two I purchased sound decoders and Accurathrash speakers from Accurascale.

on running the locomotives I notice the volume on both the self fitted sound decoders and speakers are not as loud as the factory fitted one. I have checked CV 63 and both match the level set on factory fitted as 192.

Has anyone else noticed this difference and if so, have you managed to sort out the difference?

It might be worth checking the volume default values for sound slots 1/31/32.

You will find those on the DCC functions card on the line for F1

Also ensure the accurathrash is securely held in place. Any looseness will absorb the sound.

As I had to buy the non sound version and retro fit too, could you explain or show a photo of how the speaker is secured on the sound fitted version?

It has 2 white clips that sit over either end of the speaker and hook into the holes in the circuit board designed for the clips , Accurascale have said these will be available soon although I have removed mine and stuck the speaker down with black tack to get rid of the rattling/vibration I had

That is the thing, these Accurascale models have nothing generic about them. They are all unique. Yes I have to lose some roof rivets on the 109 I converted, but no issue if you dont mind the extra work. Reworked Alycidon into 2012 RSG and the amount of work involved, quarter light windows, position of ETH socket and a can of silver paint didnt sort. Anyway, awaiting x2 402 locos, missed out on 409 so easy conversion there, however the conversation to 424 needing alot of work, adding bodyside window, losing a lamp bracket, oval buffers at one end, square at other etc...

Nice Caroline behind there, is that a Revolution one ?
