Anything missing? This must now be a list of almost everything that does not yet have a model made of it

A quality piece for the discerning Portuguese modeller! I have one of these 2600s - it is possibly the second worst model of a Portuguese loco? The worst was that Lima Aussie Class 44 masquerading as a 1960

Well, they are being VERY generous as the Hornby warranty for locomotives is 6 months for moving parts and 1 year for electrical parts. (Okay, so is a motor electrical or moving...) Presumably that means no warranty for a block of metal

Jerky Bachmann Decoders
Orange Alco replied to Simon Moore's topic in DCC Discussion Topics (not questions)
You need to set Back emf CVs 54 and 55 to be something appropriate to the motor you are controlling, the defaults are fine for larger motors but not smaller lighter ones which is why it would have been okay in the Class 150. The Bachmann DCC Onboard steamers usually come with with CV54 at 12 and CV55 at 60 so try that for the 3F. IIRC the decoder paperwork says thase have to be altered otherwise there may be poor slow speed running..
