I have 2 x Bachmann locos ( a class 20 and a class 37 with loksound v4 and legobiffoman chips respectevly.

Yesterday I had a short on the layout and had to reprogram these two. Now they both operate great on CV 1 at reset value of 3 (I set CV 8 back to 8 as per instructions), everything works lights, sounds all good but I cannot get them to accept respective cvs of 174 and 37. I have tried everything I can think of to re assign addresses but they will not accept. I run on a  Bachmann Dynamis and I have tried everything. Are the chips done or has anyone any other ideas would be greatly appreciated.   Th

Disappointed that a perfectly acceptable post has been closed down three times. Rails is a big player and a Class 50 from them would be terrific. 
It maybe seen as speculation but I think everyone knows the Hornby Class 50 is now a dated model thanks to progress and a new one would be great. 
Obviously all wish lists are out at RMweb.

Andy,

Just an observation, but would it be possible to modify the poster's location information?

Currently: "LocationSwitzerland", proposed: "Location: Switzerland" with the ': ' built into the text of 'Location' ('Location: ')?

I note that some members have taken it off their own bat to, at least, put a space at the front of their location information but the majority have not!

I respect your decision!

Hi. I was posting on a thread and managed to hide it. Is it possible to reinstate it? It is called Early Stages, and is in the Layout and Track Design section. Cheers.

Hello I live in Newark perhaps  sometime we can get together. 

Next Monday is going to be very dull...

Finally decided to join RM Web as its good to see what is being produced and help to improve my own modelling Just finished a 37 as 37057 - damn I hate cant rails and before everyone shouts yes I know it should have a plated over boiler port!

The nights are drawing in......

Having changed computers all my old software was out of date and it has taken me some time to get organised with replacement programmes. So, my apologies for taking so long in expanding on my problem.

Because of my medical condition, I had to outsource the construction of a layout (8ft x 4ft) on a movable trolley with track in position and wired up ready for use using DCC. I did not think ahead successfully and now have a spare Metcalfe Single Engine Shed. One corner of the layout has a short spur and I thought I could use up the space to site this engine shed with the addition of a single length of curved rail. Unfortunately, I cannot physically make any alterations to the underneath wiring nor, with my lack of knowledge, do I wish to risk causing myself future problems!

I assume that it is not a matter of simply attaching the new rail - life is not that kind. I have considered positioning the short additional length of track (suitably  ballasted) with no physical or electrical connection to the existing spur (say a 1mm space between the rail ends). Obviously there would not be power to the short extension but I am happy to leave a "parked" locomotive or wagons poking out of the shed. Just to do something with the surplus shed and for a visual rather than working effect.

I hope that my lack of knowledge will not cause problems and that I have come up with a valid method of getting a result. Any suggestions would be gratefully received.

Can we have a vote for disabling the public message to another member feature? I'd like to see it gone so that messages intended as private don't end up 'inappropriately' public.

I've just realised that most of my family live within 260 miles from South Devon. Top banana.

Just got really annoyed by one of the moderators on the Hornby forums - why are they so rude and pedantic when over here it seems like much nicer bunch 

Starting to plan for the VE  Day 75 celebrations.  Not what we had planned on doing originally as we would have been at Peak Railway, so we are having a subdued event at home at social distance with neighbours. 

Starting with Network Rail on Monday!

Pretty sure we have an unwelcome visitor in the house and whilst I am not showing any effects from it so far it will only be a matter of time.

Front door will be out of use for a couple of weeks but business as usual in the old office for the time being.

"I have added pantyliners to your shopping list".

FFS!

Hi Andy

cheers and thanks for your hard work.
