James Hilton Posted April 25, 2023 Author Share Posted April 25, 2023 The Smiths 3 link do fit yet, but they're not held captive so can fall out. On Francis I've left the supplied hooks, on my black one I replaced them with the Smiths hook too, just filed down the tail to fit the hole. Andrew, no progress on the Rothervale plates - but when the time comes it's quite a quick job - I'm seeing Steve next week so will give him a nudge. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BVMR21 Posted May 10, 2023 Share Posted May 10, 2023 Finally gotten round to attaching the sand boxes, and to go for something a bit different, added the works plates to the sandboxes. 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruston Posted May 10, 2023 Share Posted May 10, 2023 I received my sound decoder and have fitted it. The project is very good and, I'd say, worth the wait. 3 1 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're currently working through our DCC Sound pre-orders (thanks for your patience, everyone, it's been a mission!) and once these are cleared and we have an accurate picture of what's left we'll offer any remaining decoders for sale to DC loco customers. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
No Decorum Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 Super! I'm looking forward to my pair of sound- and crew-fitted! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaymzHatstand Posted May 12, 2023 Share Posted May 12, 2023 My sound chip arrived yesterday and was duly installed (with some electrical tape over the circuit board, just in case!) I've given it a quick test on a rolling road this afternoon and the quality and content of the sound project is excellent! I'm very much looking forward to playing with it properly! I still need to order some etched plates, but they can wait until I've got a few to order together. Cheers J 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Hilton Posted May 12, 2023 Author Share Posted May 12, 2023 All the sound fitted models and decoders went in the post this week, so it’s great to hear that despite the delays and heart ache it has been worth the wait for people, I do hope you all enjoy them! 3 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back at it this morning and we should have everything cleared by Monday or Tuesday - you'll receive an email notification when yours goes out. If anyone placed a pre-order for a DCC Sound loco and hasn't paid the balance please check your email for an invoice or ping me a message here or at info@planetindustrials.co.uk. After a grace period any remaining stock will be reallocated for sale as we know there is demand for it. 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do like that! Hadn’t thought of a nameplate but now I’ve seen your “Victory” I’m thinking of a pair, “Victor” and “Victoria”, in memory of the (rarely performed) musical I had the pleasure to MD a few years ago! Of course, that should really be done on a matching pair of locos… is this an my excuse to order a second green Victory loco? HOURS OF FUN!

Rob They aim for 6-8 weeks as per the website but it slips a bit at busy times and I guess the vouchers in the Victoy’s lead to a surge in orders this year. My two orders this year took 12 weeks for the five industrials and 8 weeks for the L&B ones. 6-8 weeks has been achieved with most previous orders too. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
