I think it can be true of any profession stories are embellished and exaggerated as they are retold over time. I was told a story many years ago about an engine which wouldn't come out of a tunnel so its paint wouldn't get ruined so it was bricked in- now that was definitely true!

You know I can’t remember who said it but I heard recently you can’t believe everything you see on TV. Don’t believe it myself all seems totally legit to me!

Was thinking the same earlier today so ordered one from derails earlier today, not sure if they have anymore left.

Did enjoy he show and felt the Lion segment whitewashed over the titfield incident as it was never mentioned or implied they wanted to do the titfield thunderbolt loco. I wouldn’t have expected anything else though to be honest, they are not going to say they cocked up on TV.

Just pre- ordered 50149, had regretted letting my Hornby/ rail express version go but not bothered anymore! Now if we could have 50015 in dutch please..... -
Apologies for the swearing but it seems quite appropriate

To be fair I have had no issue but then I just bung them in and run it I don’t routinely change cv’s etc so for finer control they may not be great.

But you can get a plux 22 decoder for £18 if you are not that fussy on brand https://www.digitrains.co.uk/870016-kungfu-plux22.html

I bought my GT3 via rails of Sheffield so I have no feedback email but I would think if any comments good or bad are truthful and fair they shouldn’t have any complaints. It will be interesting to see if they repeat the exercise though.

I would imagine there will be some polybulks announced given the recent run for rails of Sheffield. Could be for the collectors club maybe. Other than that no clue but does anyone else use the announcements to count down the year ie only 4 announcements until Christmas!

Have managed to chip my 31, bit of a dogs dinner but it works! Use of choc block as got sick of trying to push all those wires into the small screw terminal. Chip is the Laisdcc large decoder £45 from digitrains, not bothered with the fan though.

Have been in and spoke with Roger, he has a few ideas of where to go with this but also doesn’t expect anything to happen for a few years yet such is the legal process etc. Mark

According to Blackpool gazette (and Roger has provided a statement) tower models are going to have to move to accommodate the new campus for Blackpool and the fylde college. This is being funded by the new levelling up money. Obviously this only broke yesterday. Good luck to Roger and all involved.

I can’t feel my legs anymore!

Did post this in the Dcc fitting forum too but does anyone know of a guide on how to fit a decoder to this model, took the body off and don’t know where to start! Thanks in advance mark
-
So I got myself a cheap class 31 and thought I would try to fit the Laisdcc large scale decoder for o gauge. Opened up the body and was presented with this lot! Can anyone point me in the direction of a guide have tried Googling with no success. Thanks in advance. I have dcc fitted and hard wired OO locos before but this is another level cheers mark

Yes I thought it was a novel approach too, wonder how it will work out for them!

Ah gutted thought the update may have been to announce they are here! Ah well they get here when they get here not going to lose any sleep over it. Thanks for the update though at least you keep us in the loop. -
Watched the first episode with the wife and we both enjoyed it even provoking comments and interest from the missus who usually doesn’t take an interest. I did note a Bachmann super voyager box and an Oxford rails box (thought it may be a mk3 box) at various points in the programme.
-
you can order via a number of model shops which mitigates the risk a bit

Is there a launch video this year like last year?
-
According to twitter editorial issues at the yesterday channel -to be rescheduled.
