Hopefully a flood of MK1s in 00 similar to what they did recently in N Having trouble finding anything ( new ) thats not a buffet coach in pretty much any livery. Another green 47 would be nice as would another green 20 with discs.

They dont. Theres no red tail lights and the white front blind on each end is controlled by the F keys. Or at least thats how mine is

Via a retailler or model rail direct?

Yeah i pulled them off to and put them back on to check. Ran it for many hours today so ive sadly had to ask for a return.

I thought of split gear, but would it still grind at low speed?

Hi Got a new class 24 today ( DPD actually delivered on a sunday! ) Ive ran it for a couple of hours and at higher speeds its a bit grindy in both directions. At lower speeds its pretty quiet. Its not overly smooth at lower speeds and sometimes it stalls for no apparent reason. Is anyone elses 24 the same? I'll give it another good run tomorrow and if no improvement i might ask rails for an exchange.

Talking of DPD, I ordered some wagons from ROS on friday and they were delivered yesterday ( saturday ), then on saturday morning I ordered a coach and a loco and they delivered today - on a sunday. Couldnt bilieve it!!

Shes arrived!! Tested on a few lengths of flexi and shes great. Got a few Mk1 coaches and some wagons to run with it. Now to get some track laod!

TT 2024 announcements, hope the 08 is green https://www.gaugemasterretail.com/news/article/view/id/1633/?fbclid=IwAR2ZsgvGr_RdjX9rAsu-Q1W-ilun0E9OEnM7kru4lGj6V6uByfQ3wA4y8LM

Couldnt wait till payday so put my order in this evening. Cant wait!

Wow, my retailler said not to expect much, thought he was kidding lol. Very dissapointed at the lack of new sound profiles for the TXS system.

Wow, i think thats the best sound weve had so far on an N scale diesel. I thought the 31 was good but this beast it in my eyes ( ears ). Sounds like the same soundfile used in the new 00 scale 47s. Thank you, one will be ordered come payday :)

Just a heads up, the TXS decoders are now reduced to £45 in the hattons sale https://www.hattons.co.uk/stocklist/siteresults?search/q/hm7000/sources/New/stockstatus/InStock

TMC doing a green class 24 with sound for £170 https://www.themodelcentre.com/32-443sf-Bachmann-oo-gauge-class-24-1-d5094-disc-headcode-br-green-late-crest

That loos great, whats the sound like? Been looking on youtube but nothing so far.

Sams trains handled one at warley, pretty sure he said it was a diecast body.

Indeed the one in my class 73 takes almost 30 seconds to discharge after power off the layout

Could lance not ask hattons to take it back and send it to accurascale for attention? Then assuming he gets a fresh loco back he could then either keep it or sell it on? EDIT : Noticed in the video comments that accurascale are replacing the decoder - top job to the accuradcale guys. Also a lot of people blaming hattons. In this case tho i can see where they are coming from. The model wasnt as recieved so they couldnt refund.

Have they ever done Flying Scotsman with British Railways on the tender?

Thats the diffrerence, i opted for the refund. I was told "Returns have a huge cost implication for us, which inevitably are passed on to the customers" Thats the exact wording from the email. Despite the fact that i returned the item at my own cost. For context - out of 5 orders, 2 were returned. one the faulty 37 and the other a farish 31 which was ordered in error. For that they banned my account basically implying i was costing them too much money. After an official complaint to the director they did unban my account but i wont be using them again.

Thanks ive dropped the volume to 150 and its done the job. Wasnt going to get another but a visit to trident trains this morning and hed got a sound fitted 37001 that a customer hadnt collected. Needless to say the green class 20 with FYE that i had originally gone in to buy has to wait to next week now lol

Was there ever a solution to the failed startup routine?

Haha hope thats not model railways direct. I got banned for daring to return a faulty class 37......

Ive ordered the green British Railways one with sound. Having a nice loco for shunting with a stay alive prefitted will be brill. Please do an 08......
