I have also tried to contact ACME via their Italian website with regard to a manufacturing defect and got no response. The model has issues with a defective close coupling and as it carries power between cars I didn't want to mess with it. They should really have a better after sales service. I hope you can modify or fix your model successfully. 

OK. I will give that a go. It will be my first go at altering CV settings.

Hi all, I am trying to chip a Roco Ho Br146 with a Lenz Gold decoder.

On checking the Loco prior to inserting the chip I have noticed that on DC operation the red lights operate in the forward direction and white lights on the rear. 

The loco was second hand and had no blanking plate fitted which i have replaced. there is also a small 3 port plate on the circuit board which has a wire jumper fitted.

Can anyone see an obvious issue or suggest a remedy?

Yes, that was my first stop. The part is listed as not currently available. Not sure if that means out of stock just for now or they wont be restocking.

I have ordered from Roco before and they are very reasonable on postage. Ebay sellers on the other hand don,t seem to adjust for size

I have a Ho Roco Dbag Br.146 German Electric locomotive Catalogue number 62500 that has two broken pantographs . The spares sheet show the spare as Roco Part No. 85383. There are a few listed on ebay but they are quite expensive with shipping to the UK.

Would anyone know if  there is a cheaper Sommerfeldt or Piko alternative of the correct type ?  Prototypical Technical details indicate a DSA 200-350 type .
