I am totally stunned, many visits to Smithdown Road and the help given will always be remembered and treasured. Thank you Hattons for all the help and assistance going back to the 1960’s, I just hope everyone from Hattons manages to survive this terrible event and move on successfully. 🤞🤞

Thanks for that, I was still using the shop web link rather than the proper web shop 😡 All sorted now 👍

I must be looking in the wrong place…

Just went online to order but they are now showing ‘sold out’……..

You can if you pair 4014 and 844 sound fitted versions.

Thanks for putting up that link, I do have issues at times with my internet links 🤬

Found this earlier, hope this link works - sorry if it has already been posted. https://www.bbc.co.uk › zhmrvk7

My 1504 is due for delivery tomorrow between 12:00 and 14:00. 🤞🤞

The photo in the supplied link shows it in preserved unnamed condition with current warning flashes. Sadly no longer available to order……

37 602 and 37 606 arrived safely this morning. Everything looks and sounds unbelievable - absolutely stunning Accurascale models.

Hi Andy, I’ve found that you are able to amend CV’s on the decoder whilst in Caroline but you cannot read them back hence making a note of the existing CV’s from a reader or slave loco before doing any changes. If you get stuck you can write 4 to CV8 to reset the Lais decoder. I’m rapidly coming round to having to make an additional custom pcb board with a sound decoder/speaker to get everything working correctly and have just horn sounds without any conflict with the loco sound functions. Hope this helps 🤞

Unfortunately you cannot interrogate a decoder in Caroline as it is in a no load installation ie no motor. I used my ESU Decoder Tester to read and program the 860019 (you could also use a dcc loco as a slave). You can re-write cv’s to the decoder but make sure you know original value’s first so you can revert if needed.

That’s very interesting about the resistance values and also the complexity on the pcb. I had already tried checking the outputs on dc and dcc and had some unstable results. I’m now thinking I may have to make up a pcb to work with my planned direction LED’s indicator display on the NSE version. Thanks for letting us know your findings, it’s certainly given me food for thought!

Thanks for your reply. You are correct about southern region directional lighting. I’m only intending to use a tail lamp on the green version as I believe the screen should ideally be changed from reading an alpha numeric route indicator to red panels when direction is changed, not really practical in 4mm. With the NSE version I’m toying with the idea of bi-colour red/clear LED’s behind a black and white paper panel thus showing white being propelled and red when being towed.
