Realtrack Models 143

[robbarry]

Hi,

 

recently purchased new class 143 arriva trains wales from real tack models.  Had it chipped but internal lighting does not switch on and off.  My research has brought up conflicting info.  That it does toggle on and off and that it stays on constant on dcc.

 

The chips used are lenz standard plus - which didn't work properly on the model and now has a hattons md4.  Model works on this chip and directional lighting  toggles on and off but interior lighting is constant.  Any help will be most appreciated

because off the space restrictions on the class 144 I found that the internal light were always on they are wired directly to the power pick up.

Thanks Richard. Waiting to hear from realtrack models whether it's the same for 143

All my 144 are the same as they have the lights constantly on. To my knowledge its the same for all 144s or 143s.

We would have got back quicker if you had put it on the Class 143 Thread!!!!

 

The Interior lighting is wired too the track, to work them on DCC would require a 9 pin plug, so if you want them to work an additional decoder will need fitting too the powered car lighting circuit! 

 

Re the Lenz Standard, what is wrong with it??   Charlie
