so what souncd chip is best for this loco? any leads for thisAussie to get/look at ?? Thanks.

G'day Bob. Now my Pc is reinstated after "it issues" I dar eto post in 2020 and say hi. Cannot remember if you have made a NSW 73 class.... Regards, David Head

Hello Robert, thought I should check in after, well more than a few months As usual love your modelling, approach and friendship to others. Nice to see the layuot rebuilt and in use again. Back sooner than later I hope, Regards, David Head

Just ordered from Hornby direct the Green one ( shows my ignorance of codes etc.) straight away after seeing a youtube video of Sam'sTrains announce it. Now the wait....... ps have one already, one was to be sacrificed for a ON30 pecket as running at Puffing Billy. http://dth.railpage.org.au/pbr_emerald/projects/peckettlog.htm http://locomotive.wikia.com/wiki/PBR_No._1711_%22Sir_John_Grice%22 ( need 2 as the loco is great as is so needed a proper one as well - wish I could afford a lot more ) Regards, David Head

Robert, already have the datasheets 7mm plan. But for now I have to think about it, as you clearly show one can build with little cost, just time. Regards, David Head

Hi Robert, found your thread. and have browsed all 14 pages so far. Have been impressed with your work and all the loco projects. O scale is interesting, I do not limit myself to 4 scale gauges, even if HO Aussie is the main scale. Within a few year I hope On30 will be the 2nd option for me. And as per my avatar, if there was a 7mm 73 class I could build/ afford I might be hooked. John Reid is a fellow club member, i think his article has been in 7th heaven. And his 7mm loco albury layout is inspired, for me. But what you have done from scratch , modified, kit based etc is amazing - not a lot of people these days do the modelling. Regards, David Head

I returned the loco, got a refund, immediately ordered another, being a non-fussy Aussie no idea how different it is tot he original one I ordered. This 'new' one works, moves, and makes noise. I am happy. Thankyou Oxford Rail and Hattons ! Regards, David Head Melbourne Australia

Yes the loco was reboxed and posted back to Hattons. And it looks nice to this Aussie ! will report the eventual outcome when that occurs. Regards, David Head

I got my Oxford Dean Goods here in Melbourne, Australia several weeks ago - to me it looks great ! But that is because I are not familiar in any way with it and take it as I see it. But the loco shorts my DCC system - it's a sound equipped version. It Is a DCC loco, it does make noise, but when not shorting, that is all it does. No loco movement at all. I have NCE Powerpro 5 Amp system, and all locos on the layout still work. But this loco shorts on, off, on etc. If I select say the whistle it will whistle, short, whistle short etc whether I have the functin on or off until I remove the loco off the track. I tried to reset the decoder with no effect. I wonder from those who have the loco, be it DC or DCC are there anything on the loco that might sort it out ? Regards, David Head

Got my Peckett, no 11 today. My it is small ! Anyone reccomend a DCC decoder ? Regards, David Head Melbourne, Australia.

With all the UK Peckett's to do, I assume there were a lots of export locos sent all over the world. So Liveries, colours could keep us poor for ages. Regards, David Head

$155.32 AUD, so not sure of pounds etc. that's inc postae to Australia. David

did a online order, so fingers crossed...... again Nerron, thanks.

Email sent..... thanks.

Asked Hattons re the loco, and were told there may be an anoucement 4thJan from Hornby. As a Aussie it looks i have missed out, and cannot afford to ring every shop in the UK. Seems it has been a popular model, and what a shock to everyone. Hope others can attest to future production...... I want at least 1, any colour Regards, David Head
