Received my 37043 today 😍 wow. Paid for in August 2022 if that helps anyone still waiting. Only had 30 minutes of playing before had to leave for work but it keeps derailing on points. I've got a Bachmann 37 and Heljan 26 and both run relatively trouble free but 37043 is not happy. Anyone else experienced the same? As I say I need more time to investigate. I gauged the wheels and if anything they are a bit wide so possibly one solution to look at. Only other observation is missing wheel slip makes me sad or maybe just more keen to order a 37/4 when they hopefully produce 80's versions.

Fixed thankyou for the suggestions. I reinstalled it in a different slot on my controller so effectively reset the decoder I guess. Same as a CV8 reset by sound of it. Anyway she's been out of service for about 6 months but is back on the main line thanks guys 🙏

Help please. First im not sure if this is a DCC problem or not? I have Heljan 26010 which is a few years old but has seen little use. It's recently stopped moving. My railway is DCC and the Loco has a Lenz decoder. I assumed perhaps it's a faulty motor or something but there's something else strange about the Loco. The light function turns on and off through my controller but the light doesn't change direction if I choose forward or reverse. I plan to send it Olivias trains for assessment and repair but wondered if anyone has had similar or any suggestions before I post her away? Thankyou 🙏

Waiting for my 37043's patiently but got a couple of questions for the 37/0 owners. Is there a wheelslip sound on this model? I've seen videos of the the 4's having a slippy time but not 37/0s. Also regarding the stay alive. Does the power stay until its used up by moving or is it time determined. By that I mean if I drive the Loco into a bay platform with track power issues. Will the Loco only stay live for say 10 seconds or if its stationary and I try to move a minute later has the stored power gone? I'm assuming the latter 🤔

Sorry if it's been covered previously and I've been out of the game for a while. Got 2 x 37043 on order but would like to renumber and rename one of them. Any recommendations on transfer suppliers these days? Obviously as correct to scale as possible is important. Thanks in advance
