ChristianA432 Posted October 26, 2023 Share Posted October 26, 2023 Has anyone else had problem with the loco running extremely slow on DCC? I have tried 3 different decoders with the same result. I have an NCE controller and have to have it on full speed on speed 28/28 to move along. However running on DC there doesn't seem to be an issue. I have 40 other DCC fitted locos and haven't seen this issue before. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billy_anorak59 Posted October 26, 2023 Share Posted October 26, 2023 OK - it's an Ivatt, not a Standard 2, but just for the record, this might be a good reference for an 'in-service, but clean' look? My photo - Bridgenorth 1984. Of course, excuse the bell for the BR period! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blimey, the only ones I can recognise for certain are Godfrey Stuart on the far left, now sadly in a home and Andy Darby on the far right (one of our Inspectors now) next to him might be Charles Newton who bougght 6521. The shed of course in its very windy and dark days. So much better now with its doors , overhead crane and better, lighter roof. Behind looks like the Babby (7819 Hinton Manor) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First question would be whether the operation of any of the other 40 DCC fitted locos remains as expected? (One possibility based on the fault description is that there has been a failure in the amplification stage of the DCC system, so that power supply to the decoder is very limited.)

Need to test any of these 3 decoders in a loco that runs as expected, and try the proven good decoder from that loco in your 'slow motion' 2MT. (Pound to a penny the problem is on the loco, most likely a wiring or circuit component fault. Your choice what to do: heading the list, return for refund as 'unfit for purpose'. At the other end of the choices, barbarians like myself having tested the mechanism intensively to ensure the motor is good, will remove the entire circuit and hardwire a decoder, red and black onto the pick up wipers, orange and grey onto the motor terminals, job done.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMJ Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 @MikeParkin65 Yes I'm aware of the tender body and it's on the snag list 😎 You will probably be surprised as to which DCC sound is fitted. I could leave you guessing, but it's a Hornby J36 TTS. At some time I might change it 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomScrut Posted November 25, 2023 Share Posted November 25, 2023 So the CC model of 78022 has finally been officially announced, which is good news. https://uk.Hornby.com/products/k-and-wvr-preserved-standard-2mt-2-6-0-78022-era-11-club-exclusive-r3837 However, will the orders placed for it in 2021 be fulfilled? Also, for some reason the Hornby website doesn't think I am am member (renewed in October, shows in memberships but also showes the expired one. If I wanted to order another it wouldn't let me at the moment) so hopefully that doesn't mean I miss out. I have emailed Hornby to find out either way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pre Grouping fan Posted November 25, 2023 Share Posted November 25, 2023 Beat me to it! I let my membership lapse last time but it's still showing as an active order in my account. Wonder if they will honour it given the Price increase as well as it's increased from 149.99 to 189.99. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hroth Posted November 25, 2023 Share Posted November 25, 2023 I hoped there would be a more interesting Hornby announcement than the Collectors Club 2MT. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thing is, I even renewed mine before if finished but for some reason it's showing up twice (one current, one expired) which I presume is causing the conflict. They used to have a renew option on the clubs, but wasn't available when I renewed (isn't now for me either) so I wonder if that is why it has screwed up. My current membership should actually be ending on the 22/10/24. Edited November 25, 2023 by TomScrut Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
