RMweb Premium John M Upton Posted June 5, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 5, 2021 What shade of BR blue will they use this time though? My two plus a couple of 26's are distinctly greenish. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluedepot Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 hi I bought next18 decoder fitted 27042. does anyone know how to configure the lights so they operate correctly? currently it has white marker lights in forwards. I want the marker lights out and only the roof headcode box lights on (as per the real locos). no idea what cv values would do this. it would have been nice if Dapol had set it up to work correctly out the box! cheers tim Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does it have seperate wiring to the lights and head code? What chip are you using? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluedepot Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 hi woodenhead it came with a Dapol imperium next18 fitted. I've not looked at how it's wired yet. not removed the body. I had expected Dapol would have sorted out the lighting issue when they upgraded the model to next18. maybe I expected too much. it would seem very odd to go to the bother of upgrading it though but not fixing the incorrect lighting at the same time. if no one on forums or Dapol know how to fix it I will have to open it up and surgically disable the marker lights at one end. that's a real shame though, esp. on a new model. cheers tim Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

woodenhead Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 Did you look at the link to the RMWeb thread, this bit may be pertinent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluedepot Posted March 4, 2023 Share Posted March 4, 2023 thanks unfortunately I think the roof headcode box lights are wired with the marker lights. I've left a message on Dapol digest so they can clarify this. tim Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
