Yup A1A wheel formation 😊

Yes! Remember when this was in the 1999 EWS "Stay of Execution" ELR event and named Traction Magazine, by editor David Brown. Nose doors and disc headcode reinstated, bodyside grills modified and a full repaint. This loco is definitely a good call!

It was these beasts that got me hooked on my love of diesels! Remember as a 5 year old boy, standing at track level at Thetford station, looking up at a blue 31/4 pulling away at full thrash on a Norwich to Birmingham New Street. I was awe inspired! Also remember Railfreight grey freight workings, as a kid at Dereham station (now Mid-Norfolk Railway) when it was a freight only branch, picking up grain at Ryburgh. Even had a cab ride into the head shunt!

Nor is it prototypical on 37409...

Hi If it's the guagemaster prodigy you are referring too then you should be able to press shift - 2 then 0 (F20) etc, to go above F13.

That is classic!! 😂😂

I have tried it on 128 speed steps and makes no difference. I was hoping that maybe someone had come up with some CVs to do exactly that. So far, I have managed to get the spirax valves working on F17 and the taillights to actually work on F18, with some advice on this thread. As a temporary measure, I have removed the cardan shafts from one of the locos.

#ACCURASCALEINNOVATIONROG37 put it out there!!

This loco or 800 or both, will be a sellout. I have tried to recreate myself, but the innovation artwork seems the issue, of trying to obtain the decals. This has had alot of requests on here and I believe that Fran and co at Accurascale will be onto a winner here, possibly having to do a second batch, due to popularity! #ACCURASCALEINNOVATIONROG37... let's do this! 😍😊 Kev

It's very intermittent. I'm not sure if the automatic wheelslip feature, without using F8, is supposed to be there? Ive heard it on YouTube vids etc. Basically both locos run fine as a consist at any time, either diretion, until one of them decides to automatically go into wheelslip/overload mode, then the speed stays constant as the front loco carry on accelerating. Guess a real 37 does this if you give it too much power and overload the amps. I think I will just remove the cardan shafts of one of the locos. Kev

CV 5 and 6 match. F8 on (wheelslip) consist fine, both automatically go into wheelslip mode, consist fine, both go into thrash mode, fine, they both go I to opposite modes automatically when above speed step 12, theres your problem.

#ACCURASCALEINNOVATIONROG37

423 is address 1, 419 is address 2, consist address 37

I know you are the man for the job 👍

The one that goes into wheelslip mode, definately slower, otherwise they run well together as long as I dont open them up, but when they both go into wheelslip or full open, again fine

They run really well together, until you go above speed step 10, not always, but one of them will randomly go into wheelslip mode and they will get separated or one will shove the other one off the track. It's very hit and miss. Kev

And coach D...

Looking Cracking, just finished my version (other than a few finishing touches to the DBSO) it really needs to stretch its legs on a layout sometime!

With mine F18 turns off taillights. On 419 F17 turns off high intensity light, 423 its spirax valves. I have a gaugemaster prodigy and not sure the consist has taken. Also F11 on 419 flange squeal constantly while moving and 423, whilst manuvoring through points etc. The running is a bit better, but one will occasionally go into wheelslip mode slowing down with the other coming off the rails? Factory reset methinks and start again. Kev

Good Afternoon all! There isn't anything more I could say that hasnt been mentioned on this thread. The 37s are spot on, detailed to the exact prototype and the more you look at them, the more detail you see. Anyway the only issue I have (asked Accurascale customer services about this too awaiting response) is double heading/top and tail. A must as I'm modelling DRS GA "short set", both locos will pull away fine work nicely together, then either one of the locos (randomly) will go in "wheelslip mode" (F8 not used) then either the set will separate (magnet couplings) or the coaches will come off, as one loco is then running quicker than the other. For the lighting, I have pulled the plugs for the inboard lights, unless there is a way to adjust the CV settings to operate them in top and tail mode other than just disabling the taillights. Anyway no criticism of Accurascale or the model itself, actually the Accurascale customer service are excellent, but if anyone has any suggestions, it would be very much appreciated! Many thanks Kev (Melton Works)

Hi I have changed these CVs on my 423 and 425 and has made a hell of a difference! Can now use Spirax valves on F17, Taillights on/off F18 and hall sensor on F11 now enabled. But for some reason, F21 and 31 control the engine room lights? Anyway your information is very much appreciated! 👍👍 Kev (Melton Works)

Power draw when starting the powerunit.

Count me in... mentioned multiple times on various forums... it's a must!

Think it's because it was in daylight, but that looks spot on! 👍
