RMweb Gold roundhouse Posted August 2, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 2, 2013 My 22 still running well. I would definitely whether people have had as many failures of the lights with decoders fitted? Here is a shot of mine after weathering. It could do with a touch more roof grime at dome point.

Here is a shot of mine after weathering. It could do with a touch more roof grime at dome point. Very nice - thinking of hacking a section of the valance off on mine when I get round to weathering it As I'm on DC, decoders are irrelevant but I will probably remove the blanking plate and disable the lights, they are way too bright for the marker lights they represent - more like high intensity headlights on modern motive power.

RMweb Premium maq1988 Posted March 15, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 15, 2014 Any recommendation for DCC chips for these? I've had two now - one burnt out a Bachmann 6-pin and the replacement has just burnt out a Gaugemaster DCC23. Both had the same symptoms. Ran in fine on DC, but on DCC they ran, slowed to a crawl and started to pour out smoke. Using a Gaugemaster Prodigy Advanced as the controller - no other locos have issues, just the 22. Other than those faults they are a very nice model. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If its burnt two decoders then I suspect that there is a fault in the loco circuit board. I have had this with some Dapol locos - work fine on DC but burn the decoders, although not had this in more recent releases. Ian Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
