Looks like a great line up.cant wait always a great show

How long does my stint in the sin bin last as I was going to upgrade to the gold package but not much point just now.

Never thought they were that bad.hey ho live and learn.you have my apologies.

Can anyone shed some light why my posts need moderator approval now when previously they did not???? To my knowledge I have done nothing wrong 

I'm going to attempt my first loco weathering this weekend.kinda nervous but nothing ventured and all that 

If it's anything like last years show it will be a great day out again

Oh no that's a disaster for me as I prefer acrylics better see if I can stick up before supplies disappear 

I switched to cobalt digital motors about 6 months ago and very happy with them.

Will try this as I have a pannier with similar issues.cheers

Ten commandments are sold out of these any idea where else I could purchase one ???

Outstanding service from dc kits.popped back through to perth to see them and they replaced the decoder without hesitation.all I can tell you is when they plugged decoder in there machine struggled to read it so god knows what the issue was.thanks again for the excellent customer service dc kits.

Just reset it back to factory settings by setting CV8 to 8 and it should work fine on address 3, then have another go at re addressing it

Tried it no joy might take a trip back to perth to see them and see if it can be fixed.when going to change the addresses the short address already has a 3 digit number assigned to it ????

turn it round, probably in the wrong way. 

Already tried that with no joy

Hi all I bought a legomanbiffo sound chip at the perth show today and have just installed it but when I read the decoder on the programme track I get different decoder version numbers etc and random address numbers when trying to set the address and no movement from the loco at all.loco works fine with a standard 8 pin chip installed.help please.

Has legomanbiffo got a stand selling his sound decoders or is he just doing the seminars ???

Bit late to the party, but I found it amusing when I went and clicked on the Facebook link for the post on Tony’s article, that I can’t see it.

 

I remembered the reason behind that was I got removed and blocked from the “British Railway Modelling” Facebook page because I spoke my opinions on a few matters, to which people didn’t like and I was removed. HA!

 

 

Sorry, I’m just sitting here having a giggle.

I got removed for telling someone they never got the bargain they thought they did with a loco purchase.i was told I was a bully and picking on a newbie    

So why don't they supply them with Gaugemaster decoders? Somewhat annoyed now.....quiet likely it was the decoder from Hattons that was the issue with my last one. Why aren't they actively advocating ones that work, rather than supplying there own......

Just off phone with hattons and they recommend the gaugemaster chips so 2 being sent with free post and 2 hattons chips being sent back for refund.a positive outcome.

Did you tweak your CV's or not? Really pleased they are running well! Hope mine do too!

No they worked with no tweaking

I just tried a gaugemaster 6 pin decoder and both run beautifully now.work that one out lol

That's the question..... I have seen one run well on DCC. The loco in question belong to Geoff Taylor and he fitted a Bachmann decoder, didn't alter the CVs and it seems to run very happily.

So there are good ones out there.

 

I bought Hattons own 6 pin decoders I wonder if a different decoder might help???

Exactly what mine did (If you look at the video from a few days ago I posted). Mine had the CVs and decoder fitted by Hattons themselves and still ran like crap!

 

You have have my sympathies. I've never known a modern loco have so many issues.....

 

I'm gutted now do I chance replacements or just get a refund.

Took delivery of a 48xx and 58xx today and both are poor runners.stop start and speeding up for no reason.i have set the cvs to what hattons recommend with no joy.they are currently running on rolling road in the hope things improve as I really want these locos to run on my layout.

Are you GWRRob's brother??

nah afraid not.
