Still waiting to receive my weathered version.... all paid for as soon as got the email back in August. Received an unweathered model which looked fantastic when checked without removing fully from the packaging. Sent the incorrect version back and now just waiting for the correct one to turn up. Fingers crossed not too much longer to wait now.

Hi I had the same problem with the connector from TC1 to TC2 not engaging properly so that the connection could be completed. It looked as if the pins in TC2 were slightly out of alignment and when connecting to the bogie the socket mounting was lifting making it harder to complete the connection. After several failed attempts including one where everything seemed to have slotted in only to be presented with weird noises coming from the speakers i decided to step away and have a think. My solution was to disconnect the bogie from TC1 which I knew was seated correctly and connect this to TC2 where the pins seemed to be misaligned slightly. Once this had been done I then reconnected TC2 to TC1 and everything went home fine. Tested the connection and lights came on and sound worked perfectly. Thankfully there were no issues connecting TC2 to PC2 and since then the unit has been running perfectly around my slowly under construction layout. One word of advice though if you try this approach read the section in the manual on disconnecting the various units to make sure you do not damage any of the connections!
