Taking this a step further, if you were to put a diode on the red wire and a diode on the black wire, effectively half a bridge rectifier, and connect the blue to the output, would this give full wave power? This can then connect to the positive side of the led. Then is it possible to use the white and yellow on the negative side of the led to control them via the decoder?

There should be two wires attached to the 'female' part. Have both come away and you have only noticed one? As a result the one you have reattached could be on the wrong bit of brass. This would cause a short when the tender gets attached.

D1015 is 98416. 98415 is 50015. Not all preserved diesels have 98xxx numbers, primes examples being 40013 and 40145.

Alternatively it could be done as a very limited run in its original livery....

The up to date list is on the Hornby HM7000 forum.

Launch license approved, 2 hour window commencing 13:00 (GMT) tomorrow.

Having bought an 8 pin TXS to try, I fitted it to a Hornby 37 yesterday using the supplied speaker. The app is extremely intuitive and takes you through each step. Firmware updates took a couple of minutes and sound download was about 15 minutes. Then it was time to test. No problems found. The sound, whilst not top notch, is acceptable. I expect a speaker upgrade will help but that is something for the future. Overall, I was impressed at the ease of the process and the results. As a result, I am now considering fitting another couple of locos. As feedback for those involved in testing, I am running the app on a Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G without any problems.

Had a similar problem with a Hornby J50. The Rails 8D was too big and ended up with a Dcc concepts 8 pin nano direct, DCD-ZN360.6. This is quite a bit smaller than the Rails one.

I think it is CVs 49 to 54. Each one refers to an output. These are the same ones that DCC Concepts decoders use. Looking at the defaults, 0 = lights on in forward direction 16 = lights on in reverse direction 32 = lights on in both directions

Try setting CV66 to 1.

To go with the Mk5a second run...

Try changing CV66 to 1. That is for the coreless motor mapping.

Nothing definite yet, TPE have stated they want to get rid of them at the December TT change. This has yet to be agreed by Rail North Partnership.

In the light of yesterday's statement from TPE, is there any possibility of a second run of the TPE Mk5a sets?
