    Thanks for your advice, I’ll make some enquiries about Legomanbiffo.

    I have recently purchased (secondhand) an O gauge deltic and would like to fit sound to it. Has anybody got any recommendations for me? I could fit it myself if it is straightforward or, alternatively get it fitted professionally if it’s a bit tricky. Many thanks in advance for any help members can provide.

    DCC or NOT

    paftrain replied to hoovered's topic in Hornby

    I have City of Wells and the DCC socket is in the loco (I.e. not in the tender as most current models have) which makes it a bit of a squeeze for fitting a DCC chip. I managed to fit a Hornby tts chip but used a cube speaker as there wasn’t room for the standard Hornby speaker. It also sounds better!

    Me too!

    It would be great if Bachmann were to sell the sound decoders separately so those of us who have already purchased the Midland Pullman can upgrade our models.

    I thought he was supposed to be a salesman!

    Yes, I snipped it out and everything died - both on dc and DCC. It is obviously part of the supply. I therefore bridged it with a short wire and got it working again!

    Please explain how you switch off the feedback on a Bachmann 36-557 decoder. I’ve taken out the capacitor and it still runs like a kangaroo.

    I know this won’t help you, but I am interested to find out if you resolve your problem as I have purchased the Hornby 66 TTS chip to fit in my Bachmann/NRM model.

    until

    For some unknown reason it has appeared on the wrong day! It should read 7th April NOT 9th. Could mods please correct this?

    My D601 arrived this morning. Lovely model - thanks Kernow. Now to fit a chip - but which end is the front?

    Assuming Keith Revel is able to access RMWeb, perhaps he would like to comment to reassure prospective customers of how he intends to conduct his business. I for one would be grateful as I am holding back providing a deposit until I know more.

    Thanks everybody for your advice - it looks like the interference suppressors are my problem, although as I have already said, earlier Bachmann decoders (and dare I say it, Hornby TTS decoders) don’t appear to be effected by them. As I don’t want to dismantle the Atlantic’s tender again for fear of damaging it ( I’ve already damaged the handrails as I’ve had it apart several times already) I’ll experiment with another loco when I’ve got the time. Thanks again.

    Each to their own, I suppose - all I want is smooth running and to be able to control the speed. All my previous Bachmann decoders achieved this and were perfect, not inferior for my needs. I don’t want or need fancy speed curves or lights in a simple steam engine.
  19. paftrain
    No, but I have now fitted an earlier Bachman decoder and it runs as smooth as silk! My question still remains though as I can’t believe Bachman have introduced an inferior product to supercede one that is satisfactory. Are there some CVs to tweak to resolve this, as I still want to be able to use them?
  20. paftrain
    Yes.

    I just have to resurrect this topic as I have today fitted a ‘new’ Bachmann 36-557 decoder to a Bachmann SR Atlantic purchased last week and it jerks all over the place. It is unfortunate because I bought a few of these decoders months ago with a view to fitting them to new locos as I bought them. Having read all the posts I can find on this decoder, others users appear to have the same problem but I can’t find anybody coming up with a solution. Help please!

    Thanks for that. Problem: 'Save changes' box doesn't appear! The 'save these changes' does appear, but when clicked nothing happens! This is getting to be hard work understanding all the 'funnies' now on this site. It should be, and was, a pleasure to visit but I'm afraid that has all now been lost.
  23. paftrain
    Thanks Martin, unfortunately the save changes box isn't there!
  24. paftrain
    I agree - it is annoying to keep seeing numerous replies to a topic you aren't following. This is something that did not occur previously.

    I bought one while on holiday in the USA last November and all I can say is - fantastic!
