  1. No axe to grind here, but I contacted them on behalf of my club around the middle of last year, other than one short reply asking for my clubs location I heard no more from them.

     

    We decided not to bother and built a standard fiddle yard instead and put the near grand savings to better use.

     

    Perhaps he thought we were too much of a rough bunch down here to risk trading with us.

  2. I have most of the symptoms but tests all came back negative PSA was 0.6, and digital check reported prostate was small and benign, so just have to put up with low flow, slow starts etc etc.

     

    Remember when we were kids and used to pee up a wall, I now couldn't pee up a wall if stood on a ladder ;)

     

    Also can't go swimming now as my water tight seal had been broken by the digital test :)

  3. Can you post a photo

     

    Has it been converted to DCC as it's supposed to be a split chassis model so you shouldn't see the motor terminal, if it has been converted the red and black wires go to each side of the chassis normally under the heads of the two bolts that hold the chassis together then the orange and gray wires go the the motor contacts which are exposed by milling the chassis.

     

    A photo will help

  4. Hi all

     

    Anyone bought one of the new Dapol N-Gauge Class 121, the one with the Next18 decoder

     

    If yes can you confirm that the headcode LED's work in both directions.

     

    I had 4 of their 6 pin class 121/122 and with all of them the headcode LED's only worked in one direction have they fixed the problem in the new one or is it still the same.

     

    Thanks

  5. I find it easier to put the spring on a pin and with the help of a 10x optivisor I now have quite a high success rate replacing missing springs.

     

    I also put the spare springs that come with each set of couplers on a pin and stick. The pin in a bit of foam board as I have found if left in the bag they can get tangled together and are almost impossible to get apart. I use the pins with the plastic blob on the end.

  6. Hi all

     

    Although for a new model this is quite a disappointment, limited DCC comparable, no lights etc there is One upside to this disappointing "New" Model,it is both very heavy and very powerful, mine has now found itself a new job as it pushes and pulls with ease my CMX track cleaner.

     

    So silver lining etc.

  7. Knitpick, the Free DVD was supposed top be attached to the magazine.

     

    Mine worked fine in my DVD/BR player but did have the odd bits of silence, I got the impression they they were there because of bad editing as there did not appear to be anything of relevance missing from the commentary.

  8. Hi

     

    All my sounds are from Youchoos including my Brtannia and almost all are excellent sound sets, the only disappointment from around 30 was the class 66 which I thought to be a very quiet sound, so went elsewhere for that and had the decoder reblown for something else.

     

    Never had the luxury of doing a side by side comparison with other suppliers sounds so can't comment, just remember not all differences are down to the sound set used, sometimes the speaker used and it's placement can make a bigger difference.

  9. Sods law strikes again, one of mine after running for months without a hiccup tonight decided to try itself, no motor control and a loud buzzing from the speaker, and when I got the decoder out to test it was getting very hot.

     

    So back to the supplier for a paid for replacement, even though it failed under warranty, I have no way to prove it was not my installation that killed it, even though it had been running for months without issue.

     

    Grrrrrrrr

  10. Hi

     

    Only got two trains formed with two power cars, a Midland Pullmann and a couple of 68's on Nuclear Flask duty, both have Zimo Sound Decoders at front and standard Zimo decoders are rear, I found it quite easy to speed match them, the only issue being the sound decoders have a delay on starting to allow for the motor sound to rev up, and that was not easy to replicate and was told by the sound producer it's easier to disable the function on the sound decoder than to replicate it on the non sound decoder, although to be honest its that big an issue and with the back one starting first is not too noticeable or giving any real issue.
