geoffers Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 Resolve weakened considerably recently and I bought Lydham Manor even though I have ordered and paid for an alternative version due later this year. Pleased with it - yes. Two queries though - the firebox flicker seems very dim . Fitted a Next18 decoder from Bachmann (36-567A which is a rebadged Zimo I understand) so is there any way of making it brighter? Secondly the decoder is supposed to have a brake function - how is this activated? Thanks in anticipation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold tomparryharry Posted September 5, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 5, 2022 To me, it looks more 'Brunswick' than chrome, which is right. I'm assuming that Hagley is being painted in BR colours.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's the same circuit as the Mogul and Prairie (which it certainly looks like) then there are no CVs you can tweak to make the firebox glow brighter. You will probably have to resort to physical modifications I'm afraid, ranging from simple insertion of reflecting material to the deep mods I did in the Mogul and Prairie thread. If the decoder really is a Zimo clone then: CV 309 sets the brake key CV 349 sets the braking time And you should set CV 4 to a very high value so that the loco naturally coasts when you ease off the regulator. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
geoffers Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 (edited) Thanks for that. Will give the CVs a go. I did see the posts you put up but did not do any mods as the firebox flicker was not that important. Disappointed that it hasn't improved it though, if indeed that is the case.

Reading comments like these and some of the others is like reading a thread on any given loco as a new model. 1.4 million pounds has been spent and all people can do is complain and critique what they may or may not think. The paint colour looks different in the flesh and the power classification is a stick on. Reading comments like these it is really no wonder that some look in on our hobby and shake their heads. To answer the next question I have been involved in the MPD for 34 years doing anything on the jobs list, which for Hagley was mainly scrapping and painting early on as a large amount of work by the apprentices. 2 2 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Les1952 Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 The REAL point in the post above is that if Dapol had put the classification in that colour they would have been ridiculed mercilessly on this forum. I note in particular Dapol's A3 trough deflectors which have the wrong angle on the front slope. They were measured from the preserved Flying Scotsman.

RMweb Premium tommyliam021 Posted October 8, 2022 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 8, 2022 Merely an observation but now has a higher RRP than the Accurascale Manor, will be interested to compare them when the A/S version arrives.

RMweb Gold Oldddudders Posted October 8, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 8, 2022 As I'm very happy with my first Dapol Manor, but don't really model the GWR/WR, you might think that would be that. But now they are going to offer Cockington Manor, which is where Sherry and I were married 29.10.2015. Some things you just have to buy! 2 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
