Hi all, I'm not sure if anyone else has noticed or if it was within the recent Z21 app update, but Roco seems to have taken a disliking to people using the Z21 app with other base stations such as the Digikeijs DR5000. I went to connect to a friend's controller this evening which is usually without issue but I was greeted with a warning (see attached pics) and the app now has an option to unlock it for use with other systems at a cost of £17.49. Without the purchase it limits the use with the Digikeijs system and has caused constant app crashes on my mobile device. TBH, I don't blame Rocofor doing this, it's their app at the end of the day. Unfortunately this could be costly for the club layout as this is the system and app they use and not all members will want to pay to unlock the app and neither will the club for the 5+ devices owned for layout operation. Having checked other members devices, not all of them have this issue yet as their app hasn't been updated.

Hi Paul, Thanks for getting back to me on YouTube. Portsmouth Railex will be held on 22nd and 23rd Feb 2025 at Horndean Technical College. If you could let me know If you are available please? If not, could we pencil you in for 2026? Your Süd Harz layout is fantastic and we would love to have it at our show. Cheers Dan

It doesn't appear to be a small burr, however I shall try prodding something sharp through it and see if it will pierce through. The inner end looks like it has been fully moulded if you know what I mean?

Hi all, I have just purchased two Hornby class 67 locos in Colas livery (one to be re-numberd/named. I have found an issue with one of the NEM sockets on BOTH locos and wondered if this is a common problem with the 67s or with the Colas liveries ones? One NEM socket is fine, the hole goes all the way through and allows the coupling to push in and clip at the other end of the socket. The opposite end, the hole does not pass all the way through so the coupling does not push in all the way nor does it clip on to anything (the "fish tails" of the coupling should pass through and clip at the other end of the NEM socket hole). I have informed my local model shoo where I purchased them from and hopefully Hirnby will be able to supply replacement sockets. Just wondered if anyone else had noticed this problem. Dan
