Looking forward to receiving mine :-)

Am I right in assuming that 97301 and 37610 for Rails will be arriving on the 28th?  I’m hoping to grab a spare 97301 as I failed to pre order at the time they were announced, as my finances at the time we’re unable to pay for it.

Don’t forget the frost grilles! 😉 I presume they’re in the baggy?

 

GFYE and a blue’un are tempting me.

after some advice please, my esu decoder arrived today. set the switches according to the destructions, put the decoder in and off she went, all very nice. i then wanted to start playing with the lighting but nothing worked except the directional lighting. upon reading the sound/light quick start sheet i see the lights are all on function 18 or higher, is this correct? i only ask as i have the gaugemaster prodigy express and that only goes up to 15.

Has the green been revised since the Ally Pally show? This looks a lot better and closer to the marvellous rendition on the BR Manor, albeit a little more Matt

Hi,

Did anyone who bought their Accurascale sound decoders and speakers separately and had issues with the flange squeal ever get the problem resolved? Because I haven't! The latest chapter has had me removing the sensor under the cab, cleaning with a cotton bud and finally passing a magnet in front of the sensor! No! Sorry! But that doesn't work either. NEXT!

Should look the part on Deadmans Lane next to 97301......

 

Hoping that they will be here in time for Wakefield Exhibition.

I got a decoder after they went back on sale. F8 does nothing on mine. No cold start or flange squeal.

I just put the decoder in without altering the switches and all the lights work on mine ( prodigy Express 2 )

 

For F18 press shift then 18

F19 shift 19

F20 shift 20 etc

Flange squeal is F11… not F8

Do you have any decent pics of the production 37001 yet, @McC? I can definitely use a blue ‘un with bufferbeam skirts. Ta

Mine was re-blown, so I believe , but that was before Accurascale announced that they were awaiting a report from ESU with regards to a fault in some sound decoders which was reported on here. They then we're going to contact those that bought decoders separately and rectify the fault!!!???

Suggest you try speaking to them, the latest file fixed it for me on one of the two, the second decoder im waiting to come back from a friend for its reblow

Trying to remember how to be patient!

I've started to prepare for fitting the detailing parts to 37 043.

I decided it'd be easier to remove the buffer beams and attach that way - just taking care with the coupling mechanism - think I'll tape it up.

I noticed one end had one of the 4 tiny retaining screws missing - I'll never find that if it's fallen off ... !!

No big deal.

They stay perfectly well attached with just the 2 screws at the front. There’s a few in the carpet in my room!

Re the flange squeal issue, presumably it’s a firmware update that solves the issue? If so, I should be able to do it myself via my Lokprogrammer?

Hi,

I have been speaking to them. It was them that suggested I clean the sensor. My re-blow was prior to Accurascale contacting ESU so my fault still existed.
