Clicking on the Marks Model Bits link, quoted above, directs me to an unavailable site. It seems to add in some extra invisible characters, but typing marksmodelbits.com into my browser does work. The gallery shows some very convincing "steam" coming from the model boats. If that can be replicated in 1:76 scale I will be very happy.

If all goes to plan, and Lottery Funding is granted, it will be going to a new NRM outstation adjacent to the Great Central Railway at Leicester North. That will be more accessible for you from Peterborough.

I don't see that being a problem, providing that the certificate is clear as to which version it has been issued for.

I don't know why you think I haven't tried that! The lights do not work, whichever way round the decoder is fitted.

That is certainly what you would expect but, as I said previously, the red and orange wires of the decoder plug, are at the pin marked "1". This suggests to me that the DCC socket may be wired wrongly. If it's not that, it may be the decoder loom. I paid Hattons to fit their own decoder just so that the loco would have a test run before they sent it. Running in reverse and non-operation of lights appears not to have been noticed. I am not "having a go at Hattons" as I am sure that they will sort the problem out.

Has anyone else had experience of reverse running, after fitting a decoder? The decoder appeared to have been fitted correctly (i.e. red and orange end at the pin marked "1"), but it ran chimney first when set to reverse, and coal bunker first when set to forward. The lights don't work either. I have checked CV29 and the decoder is set for normal running (CV29=6). I have contacted Hattons about this and other matters, but so far I have not received a reply from the "Product Specialist" to whom it has been referred,
