My sound fitted 08 was terrible out if the box too. I cleaned the wheels and ran it around a loop for 45 minutes, turned it round, then repeated going the other way. It's running a huge amount better now, standing start to a crawl every time 😁.

Thanks for that Andy.

Generally well worth the money. I'm still seeing the 'nag banner' and I'm getting  full page adverts when browsing the Revolution Trains sub forum though.

Cheers Colin

The West Midlands Metro perhaps 🙄

That's great thanks gents, I'll have a play and see how I get on.

Which video(s) do I need to watch to set up automatic three aspect UK signals please?

Cheers Colin

T is also used when two trains would otherwise have the same headcode. For example XX.45  Cardiff to Nottingham is delayed for whatever reason and retains its 1MXX headcode. A spare unit ( if available) takes over it's XX.49 departure from Birmingham and retains the same number but becames 1TXX. 

This is also the cause of Schroedinger's train in timetable apps as the XX.49 is both cancelled and running

My main gripe is when people say that the Pendolino uses APT tilt technology when it only appeared on Super Voyagers. Aaaaaaargh!

Cheers Colin

Just tried the NR app and Cambridge North is there!

Very clear and easy to understand Bob. Looking forward to upcoming videos.

Cheers Colin

That's a shame if that is the case. With the Shark I expressed an interest but they have no idea how many I want so I'm not sure how it could be dropped due to a lack of take up.

why do they go to the effort of putting 4 cars on the Stansted route on a Sunday now then?

Because a two car doesn't have enough seats and there isn't enough three cars available

The bay platform at Stansted is cleared for four vehicles. A three car would be sufficient on most of the Sunday services to Stansted freeing up units for the busier Local Leicester services

Sunday trains to Stansted are often formed of four cars and whilst a tight fit do go on. As Joseph says extended the platform at Stansted isn't a major job.

Additional HST power cars will allow use of coaching stock normally sat idle so short forming wouldn't be required.

I'm in for a couple. As Littlethorpe says above the page indicates that they'll only be produced if enough EOIs are made. 

This doesn't seem likely if people who want to buy more than one can't communicate that.

I have both a 24 and a 25 in N gauge with sound.

Cheers Colin

I did think about this, without all the information I came to the same conclusion as you.

I was hoping that someone who could answer the question might post a reply.

Are these likely to arrive in time for Warley?

Cheers Colin

The first one has already arrived, the Fifty Fund are expecting the remainder in a few weeks.

That's excellent, cheers!

What would be a typical rake for these coaches? I've got some NGS carflats but what about the rest of the train?

Cheers Colin

August is looking good. There's a photo of them being tested prior to despatch.

Cheers Colin

Four years ago this would have probably saved me changing my DCC system.

Lenz and Massoth? I wonder how many years late this will be

I wonder how this fairs for the Shark brake van , been collecting the Dogfish's in anticipation of it..maybe its time to buy the NGS kit  

As the tooling exists I'm hoping that the Sharks will now actually make an appearance.

Now that RevolutioN have reopened the order book for the N Gauge class 92 I suspect DJM are done!
