steam in 50s

At least from my two years or so of experience, the signals always hold their position after powering off and switching back on again. I know this was a concern raised when they came out, but for me at least it's not proven to be an issue.

For what it's worth my signals are upper quadrant round post. I can't wait for a bracket.

I guess I must be lucky but have five installed and still running ok. Three since the first arrived on the plot and two last Xmas. Whoooo should I have said owt.

Just as a matter of interest you understand all five of mine so far are still working ok.

I am only useing push to make buttons, i dont have time to try anything else yet, but hey thats fine for me.

If there is a quality control issue here that would be a big disappointment for both Dapol and the modeller.

 

I think I'll stick with my Hornby Dublo electric semphore signals for now until any issues are resolved.

Shouldn't the distance signal have a yellow lens?

I have had three signals so far for about three weeks with alot of working i might add, and no probs. I am happy with them so far.

Thanks for your thoughts and input Stationmaster.

The instructions say use a 16v ac power supply for the signal (and emphasise NOT 12v dc).

I have searched throught this topic to see if i can run a bus from the power supply (16v ac) and then put droppers on, would some kind person please advise if this is ok to do. I cant seem to find anything.

not sure which group i am in Paul.

A green one.

Try again.

Just thought I would try sending a picture.

Yep looks good Graham, I dont think the base is going to be much trouble atall.

My first Dapol LMS Signal arrived today. hole drilled and installed in under 10 minutes. Well done Dapol i can see where there could be issues with some people , but not me because a little weathering and its great. Its been along time coming but hey in my book well worth it. i am a modeller and i think i will fit a dummy counter weight at its base. The base is not all that big and with a bit of grass and or ballast round the edges it will be alot smaller. Brilliant Dapol.

I am useing the Hornby elite at the moment because not changing until later on in year smokebox. Also looking into what you have said craigwelsh. thanks

Could some one please explain how to change cvs i also have a Bachmann 4-6-0 and it runs erratic at slow speeds. ps it came with chip on board.

Very good and looks very real. A credit to the skill shown. Steam

Thanks Tim, amazing pics. you have fired up my thoughts for weathering once time will allow.
