Craigw Posted June 2, 2023 Share Posted June 2, 2023 It is with quite a degree of frustration that I have watched my two Victory tanks being in transit from the UK. They left on the 27th and as of 5 minutes ago they are still "somewhere" Obviously, one can imagine my surprise to arrive home and find them on my doorstep! I have had a quick look and they look very nice indeed. Well done on a great model, hopefully there are more to follow. Regards, Craig W 5 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Treinenliefde Posted June 17, 2023 Share Posted June 17, 2023 (edited) Wow, just wow. Probably not much I can say that hasn't been said before, it's just a very, very nice model. Runs good, feels good and it looks so handsome running around with a couple of wagons. The built in sound is also very impressive. Really glad to have bought it.

BVMR21 Posted June 17, 2023 Share Posted June 17, 2023 They are very good, unfortunately disaster struck earlier this week for my model, buffer has gone missing completely now, so couldn’t run it at our club open weekend. Will it stop me buying another, no, does it bug slightly, yes, but all minor issues really. I do still believe this is the best Industrial 0-6-0 on the market and shall be sticking firm in the belief. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Hilton Posted July 2, 2023 Author Share Posted July 2, 2023 Thank you David - and all who continue to sing the praises of their models. It certainly has made the whole experience more worthwhile! Things are moving along slowly in the background on new stuff, but we're not in a position to share anymore yet. In the meantime, all liveries are still available from Light Railway Stores: https://www.lightrailwaystores.co.uk/collections/planet-industrials 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Hilton Posted July 3, 2023 Author Share Posted July 3, 2023 (edited) I know Steve had prototypes done for these and the Rothervale ones, not sure where he was up to with production sets I’m afraid. Edited July 3, 2023 by James Hilton Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BVMR21 Posted July 4, 2023 Share Posted July 4, 2023 Good to see the price decrease from £150 back to £130, and that you guys are now supplying retailers! Be interesting to see if you get other exclusive commissions as well! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a good photo of "Rothervale No. 8" on Flickr, shows the name/number plate very well but the livery is just "colliery grey"! I have ordered the maroon version as a lot of the NCB locos in the West Riding area were painted in this colour in the late 60`s. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold big jim Posted July 14, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 14, 2023 (edited) Picked up a used plain black victory from @Mike at C&M this morning, DCC fitted, doesn’t look to have been run though, need to decide now whether to sell on my waterways livery one to make room for it in the display case, or just buy a bigger display case!

RMweb Gold big jim Posted July 14, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 14, 2023 Further inspection of the loco would suggest it’s possibly sound fitted paperwork says it’s got sound, various functions listed work such as F2 being the brake and 1/2 speed etc When I first put it in the track it was creeping along until I turned off F20 shunt mode and it sped up but weirdly it then made a sound like the draincocks being opened, It then also gave a whistle but I’ve not been able to get any more sounds out of it since! took the body off to see what the chip looked like, is this a Zimo sound chip? if it is then basically I can’t get any sound out of it, I’ve set function 1 to latch (sound on/off) and 27 and 28 to momentary (volume up and down) if it’s not a sound chip, how the heck did it make noise earlier on! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold big jim Posted July 14, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 14, 2023 (edited) Just had a look at the more involved sound pdf on the planet industrials website and it mentioned F20 needing to be disengaged to allow the live volume to be adjusted (the paperwork in the box says F19 though) when I pushed F20 I got the whoosh sound again (vacuum ejector sound) so there’s definitely life in the chip and speaker one thing I accidentally did was use the lenz to reset the chip in the vain hope it may have cured it but nope, now I’ve lost things like inertia and the brake button function etc, I suppose I’ll have to go into the individual CV’s and re input them one by one to get the chip back to PI optimum settings, can’t believe I did that!

I've been really impressed with the performance and the sound. I must applaud your choice of name - so much so, I may shamelessly steal it in due course! If they ever then produce a blue livery version, I could call it “Bluebird” (although there’s no way it would ever win any land speed records!)

RMweb Gold Davidjsmith Posted July 14, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 14, 2023 Quote now to work out why the sounds aren’t Working, there’s something there as it made those couple of spurious sounds earlier I am getting the same problem with my black one at the moment worked fine when I first had the Loco .Was chuffing away the suddenly went silent !Done a factory reset .Somehow lost some of the functions on settings still no sound .Did another reset got function symbols but still no sound .I am ham fisted so not dared to take body off but mine is sound fitted! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
