Gents,

 

two quick questions, what number pin decoder does the loco take and the spec says its designed for dcc sound, does that mean it comes pre-fitted with a speaker?

DCC ready does not include speaker.

you can buy factory fitted sound versions.

An old friend who drove for RES always rated 47471 as a rocket ship despite being a little worn

better than their first attempt. Orange Gold ends looks OK

I'd say you run the risk of losing customer faith in moderating your own thread as if you take the same approach to Dapol has in the past and effectively censor negative posts and shut down legitimate debate (such as the Companies House strike off threat and subsequent issue around outstanding accounts submission). This would be bad for DJM.

Leaving debate on an established and independent Forum such as RMWeb means you don't have to devote time to moderating, you have independent (and fair) moderators looking after threads and posts and will reach a wider audience than just those who are your disciples and detractors. Not everyone will know who or what DJ Models are so are unlikely to join a manufacturer specific forum, however, through BRM, many more will know of and be likely to contribute on RMweb.

very interesting and more good wagons from the 80s/90s era

Apparently CAF have a facility nearby so its not just about picking a bit of track to transfer the coaches from road to rail.

Either way. I was discussing with a 'basher' friend recently, about the exact moment our railway went to sh*t.

 

We couldn't nail it down due to the way our railway was flogged off piecemeal, but we were in general agreement that it reached the point of no return around 1998, when those yellow/black warning signs started to appear and infest.

 

Not particularly bothered about orange cantrail stripes (except as outlined above) but OLE flashes of any type on an electric locomotive is just stupid. If you can't see the knitting and/or juice rail and thus are unable to know that you really ought to keep away from it, then perhaps you shouldn't be allowed out in the first place.

but all of those signs are not railway specific and are therefore prescribed for all industries and workplaces.

Why should British Railway locomotives be exempt from displaying safety symbols that every other workplace has to display?

I do find this whole saga comedy gold and a daily read to see the twists and turns. Just like the APT as it negotiates the WCML but will it end in Glasgow Central or Booths Rotherham?

These look superb. I'll be saving up for a set.

The first of the TPE class 802s, in unbranded grey but with black ends is now running up and down the ECML
