It seems only available in enamel. I will try some but I prefer acrylics so I think I might pick up a few Vallejo acrylics for comparison in the hope of finding a match otherwise it’s going to be a lot of practicing!

Smudge617 Posted October 15, 2023 Share Posted October 15, 2023 (edited) Can someone more into DCC than me help me out, this is my first sound decoder and I've still a lot to learn. I want to switch the two-tone horn from F9 to F2 but I'm not sure what CV number I need to change and what to change it to, (I've never re-mapped function buttons). I've gone through the Loksound manual, but honestly, I'm no more knowledgeable about it than before, so any help would be appreciated.

A lot better than the random 'airpad' sheets that were very hit and miss in terms of protection. the new 'ends' hold the locomotive box far more securely well done Patrick, Fran et al. I would echo those remarks. I received 37027 on Friday ,the new end pieces hold the locomotive box very securely in the outer packing ,giving about 1/2 inch gap all around . I had some difficulty extricating locomotive box from outer box because it is so snug,but that is far better than the box rattling around. This is very good for a single locomotive, but how will multiple locomotive orders be sent in future ,presumably not individually?

D400 Posted October 15, 2023 Share Posted October 15, 2023 Cheeky thought time. Given the number of commissioned exclusives of Class 31 and other locomotives now, are we likely to see more commissioned exclusives in Run 2 ... ;) Cheers!

Note that CV31/32 are index CVs and have to be set first, followed by the subsequent 4 CVs. If you've any doubts please ask. CV31 = 1, CV32 = 1 ---------------------- CV261 = 64 CV262 = 6 CV275 = 64 CV276 = 6 CV31 = 16, CV32 = 8 ---------------------- CV343 = 2 CV346 = 0 CV455 = 0 CV458 = 32 Steve Thank you, I'll get this done later in the week, any problems I'll give you a shout, thanks again. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Missus already puts up with the accurascale 402, plus the many others I have out on the kitchen worktop.

There are drawbacks to doing that for every gain. If you order for elderly club members, family, friends etc. a club membership was then suggested. The guys at accurascales answer was fair: “The product was avaliable to pre-order for months. If people chose not to do it then, then so be it.” Which i entirely get. and the view of one of the sellers I spoke to about the pricing on eBay was “I have been refreshing the page for hours and waiting - my time spent securing it, is the additional cost” whether there is any merit in that, who knows. i appreciate I was lucky on this occasion as I happened to be on the site when the stock dropped. However, i have missed other drops and agree its frustrating - but thats also my own fault for not pre-ordering. i have always tried to be fair with my orders. When I have done orders for various people in my local club I have done it one at a time - on the basis that if its still in stock when i have finished, then its fair. this time however, i did it as an order of 3 for the Club (different sound fitted 37s - DRS, ROG and 97) . 10 minutes later there was still a 97 so I was like “ah i’ll treat myself” so I did that. The irony is the priority order still hasn’t shipped, whilst my personal one did 😂😂. the £549.99 one on eBay is obscene money though. Chancer or what! the £549.99 one on eBay is obscene money though. Chancer or what! P***take 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
