JST Posted August 7, 2023 Share Posted August 7, 2023 So, the race is on! Due to a misunderstanding (mainly mine) I have one Manor ordered direct from Accurascale.eu and one from Hattons. I wonder which one will get here first! They are both sound fitted so I don't know if this is done at the factory or just before they are sent out and whether or not this affects delivery dates. So many things to ponder...... 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold sjrixon Posted August 7, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 7, 2023 When the Siphons shipped, I think the Accurascale ones were about a week ahead.. Mine is ordered this time from Rails, but my Siphon was direct. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might come to regret that idea : https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/aug/05/kai-cenat-inciting-riot-charges-giveaway-new-york, The thought of loads of 'mature' men all demanding that they are first on the list frightens me, I have read the threads about behavour at exhibitions.

This is just down the road from my place and Ive never seen any Accurascale activity in this neighbourhood. However that black roof in the bottom left corner is Wimbledon studios, and in particular “Sun Hill nick” from “The Bill” was filmed here, and until recently was very recognisable. (The Sun Hill signs were only unfolded when actually filming in background, this was very strict, sometimes unfolded just for minutes with someone on the roof hiding), as the frontage is street facing. Also in here is a film set police jail, court jail, court room, A&E ward, Police offices and a row of false front terraced houses used in TV Adverts (foxy bingo, peoples lottery etc). No part of the site goes unused, even the loading ramp for lorries doubles as a hospital ambulance unloading area for filming. Anyone recognise this man, emotional return to this set for him, his character was a railway enthusiast in a previous life… Edited August 9, 2023 by adb968008 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Hodgson Posted August 9, 2023 Share Posted August 9, 2023 Probably a silly question but what's the difference between the non-sound decoders for a Manor and that for (say) a Deltic? I appreciate the sound decoders will have recordings of different noises specific to a Manor, but aren't the non-sound devices the same Lokpilot 5, with the same number of functions etc - even though the locos may have/lack relevant lights etc operated by those functions? The product description says they are custom-programmed for the particular loco. So if one were to obtain a standard Lokpilot 5, are there certain CV settings (other than the loco address) that one should change to suit the Manor, and would the same apply to decoders from another manufacturer?
