Ouroborus

I've been fitting tts chips over the last few nights. The 67 chips come with square speakers, the 37 with big round speakers (too big to fit into a Bachmann body) and the 47 with a bare speaker and no enclosure. One 47 chip won't take a new address, another behaves erratically with the motor lurching into life on its own. Back to hattons....

But that’s the same argument as those buying s house near a railway line, complaining they hear trains.

 

I really don't follow that in this context

as others have said, yes they will, though be warned the 37 and 47 use round speakers which are a little on the large side

My records indicate I allowed £100 for this in my spend profile back in 2015. Since then pay in China has been raise, the £st has gone down at least 20% etc etc.

 

 

Pedantic mode ON, but I felt the need to correct this

11/1/2015 £ : $ 1.51

11/1/2018 £ : $ 1.35 = 10%

Whilst devaluation certainly plays a part for the hike, many of the other factors are matters we simply do not know, whether they are commercially sensitive details such as wages or big B's business strategy. Maybe they've decided toy trains are no longer to be seen as toys??

Mine didn't

Hi,

Has anyone fitted a decoder to the Janus, I have tried Lenz, Hattons 8 pin direct and TCS without finding a fit.

Does anyone have a recommendation for a suitable decoder.

Thanks in advance,

Bachmann 6pin with adapter

This was the chip from mine.  I ran it on DC, but after being caught out the first time, pulled it out before i put it on DCC

If that cap has been fitted by Oxford, the only thing I'm thinking at the moment is somebody hasn't quite done the maths and followed up with some prolonged testing. There has certainly been quite a few variations to the "internal specs" of the Janus since its introduction. If it is a storage capacitor it would be good to know what its rated at.

 

With some people still using older controllers that can out put well over 12 volts  I could see it causing problems.

 

Would be nice to hear Oxfords perspective on this.

 

 

 

 

Mine went puff after transferring from a dc rolling road using gaugemaster to a dcc lenz main track.  It instantly went pop- never got the chance to move it

Just got my little Janus (Happy Christmas to me)

Popped it on the track and POP! The PCB blew. Anybody else have this problem?

 

 

Yes, had the same issue with the same loco.  Ran it on a DC rolling road for some time and all was good.  Put it on the main track (still without a decoder in) and a puff of smoke and dead to the world.  Exchanged by Rails with no problem
