Kind regards Neil Hi Neil, As outlined by a poster above, a blanking plug was causing an issue with slow running on DC. As @McC suggests, perhaps reach out to our support channels to see if we can assist with same? Cheers! Fran 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
exmoordave Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 Many thanks to McC for his contact, it is appreciated. What do you suggest to "reach out" please? I know there have been comments on here about the blanking plug, but of course I would imagine that is not a universal answer? Anyway, thanks again & please message me and let me know your suggestion/s. Many thanks in advance, rxmoordave Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I 'reached out' to you in January (terrible phrase should be reserved for the Four Tops) and exchanged two or three emails and videos with your man Simon. No mention of faulty blanking plugs. I have a number of these models which on and off all exhibit the same rough start. So what's the story. Regards Ray 2 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold 88C Posted April 19 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 19 Having read all the comments about poor starting I decided to get my Bradley Manor out of the cabinet and give it a run. Attached to a five coach train it started perfectly smoothly and slowed to a stop just as well. In the garage I use an On Track controller, no feedback as far as I was told, and in other situations it has performed well on other controllers. Looking forward to the panniers.

I have a number of these models which on and off all exhibit the same rough start. So what's the story. Regards Ray Hi Ray, No, all blanking plugs are not faulty. It was mentioned above that one customer was having an issue and a replacement blanking plug solved the issue. I merely suggested that it may solve an issue another user was having. It must be remembered that we make thousands of models, so one component could end up faulty in one loco, or one in three locomotives over the production run. It doesn't make all of them duds. A swallow doesn't make a summer after all. As reported elsewhere above, other users on DC have had excellent slow speed performance too, so it's not one hard and fast rule. As for the term "reach out", I promise I'll stop using it if we can promise not to turn a specific problem possible diagnosis and suggested test remedy into a "this specific part in every locomotive must be faulty as Fran said; try that" hyperbole post in response? I think that's a fair deal. If it's on and off, as in intermittent, perhaps it's something to do with the circuitry, but Simon is much better placed than me to answer, so I would suggest emailing us at support again to see if he has any further thoughts? Cheers! Fran 5 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimberValleyRailway Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 Both of my manors, had the same issues as described on DC - powered with both feedback and non feedback controllers (which is my main controller, made by Gaugemaster). I have spoken with other manor owners who have had the same issue with rapid starting. Fitting my pair with DCC seems to have resolved the issue, and they are now the two best locos in my fleet. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
