Jason Definitely a surprise - I was wondering (before the announcement) if it was going to be the 2-4-0STT version Edited December 12, 2022 by 5Dublo2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markn Posted December 12, 2022 Share Posted December 12, 2022 Looks lovely, but already got a sound fitted Charles and a Nesta on pre-order so will wait for the 'as today' version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteamingWales Posted December 12, 2022 Share Posted December 12, 2022 Kind of managed to call it in the other Bachmann announcement thread, though wasn't expecting the 0-4-0STT as others have said. This however bodes very well for the modern day FR locos. With the Peco Bowsiders due in 2023 (and hopefully FR Ladies) I'm excited to have my first go at 009 gauge modelling! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I much prefer the 2-4-0STT version, fingers crossed it might be in the February announcements. Fantastic to see Bachmann bringing out these stunning narrow gauge engines. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Due to projects coming to fruition at a Accurascale i am receiving a LOT of trains in a short space of time. Might have to buy my wife another organ to make up for it!

RMweb Gold PaulRhB Posted December 12, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 12, 2022 No doubt both will appear in post 1969 form with the pony truck and front extension next. This model is 1964-69 according to other forums. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll wait until the later version arrives, which I am sure it will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butler Henderson Posted December 12, 2022 Share Posted December 12, 2022 Linda has run since 1964 with the tender off Welsh Pony, which was widened. In 1963 it ran with the tender off Palmerston. Blanche has run since 1965 with the cab fitted tender (which new in 1965 ). In 1964 it ran with the tender off Palmerston. Consequently when Welsh Pony was restored a new replica tender had to be constructed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob2407 Posted December 14, 2022 Share Posted December 14, 2022 I hope Bachmann decides to produce either Linda or Blanche in their blue livery. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold CotBob Posted December 14, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 14, 2022 Just noticed Rails are listing the sound fitted Charles as in stock. The payment was processed so with any luck in a day or two I should have my first quarry Hunslet. Just got to start the layout to run them all on now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LNERandBR Posted December 14, 2022 Share Posted December 14, 2022 (edited) https://railsofsheffield.com/products/Bachmann-391-126sf-mainline-hunslet-0-4-0st-charles-penrhyn-quarry-lined-black-late-dcc-sound Yep, product page says he's in stock. Tempted now I've moved my Linda pre-order to the new FR version. Still would really like a PQR version but not sure my wallet could stand it! EDIT: Rails now reporting that PQR Linda is incoming on their website. Edited December 14, 2022 by LNERandBR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
didcot Posted December 15, 2022 Share Posted December 15, 2022 My Sound Charles has been shipped, Pre-ordered and paid for Linda with tender, just about to pay for Alice. I think flowers and the coal scuttle on my head will be needed when the good lady gets in! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenny Emily Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 Finally did my video of Blanche: it’s a really great loco. I’m very tempted by a Linda with tender, but I also want Quarry Hunslet ‘Dorithea’ so might have to wait. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold CotBob Posted December 17, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 17, 2022 (edited) My video is not so well produced, in fact it could be said to be a bit raw. It is, as it says of Charles not working well on a Digitrax DCS51 as with my Livingston Thompson it does not maintain speed consistently. This clip actually doesn't show the issue at it's worst I may upload another of it trying to crawl later. The speed fluctuations that are shown are a result of some problem with the Bachmann programmed chip and the control. It is flawless on a Lenz system and only effects Bachmann locos with their projects the two Baldwins I have with Digitrains projects are fine, so go figure. Er enjoy?

Sounds like it’s 50/50 if it works fine on Lenz and other projects work on the Digitrax. That variation makes me suspect it’s either the analogue being turned on confusing the older Digitrax system or a BEMF setting not being read well by the Digitrax system. Make sure you record cv settings so you can return them to normal if these don’t work 😉 Analogue is enabled as standard on them so try reading then reducing the value in cv29 by 4 to switch it off and see if that helps? If not return it to the original value you read. Or you could compare the BEMF levels on the two projects, cv58, and if they’re different, you could try altering them to match or it would be worth reading the Zimo manual pages 17-20 to see some ideas about altering it along with cv9.

That's the most useful part of programming using a lenz controller I find 😄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s bit 2 for analogue / DCC 😉 Note the ideas above are guesses from previous issues with different systems.
