Yeah your auto cab light thing is very odd, that implies that the driver turns his cab light on every time he stops his loco, which he doesn't. Hell with my modellers hat on rather than company one, I personally would be happy with no cab light at all as it's not that often turned on and then only at night.
-
That's useful, so do you think that the light working automatically, without the driver pressing a function, is the way to go?
-
It's not prototypical though is it? As the driver has to manually turn the master switch off for it to go out. It's not a case of if the loco stops it goes out.
-
No that would be done in software on the decoder if we implement that.
-
The lighting has to be on additional Aux connections or else you cannot work them independently.
-
We are looking in how to best represent this. It's not a case of the light going off every time the loco stops but only when the master switch is put in neutral. In effect on the model it would just be a function button that turns the headlight on and off. The loco has day, night, yard and stabling modes on functions anyway so do we have it go out automatically whenever you stop or just have a manual headlight function button labelled master switch? Thoughts?

The lighting setout is complex and not set up out of the box. We recommend a Lokpilot with the custom.file installed from the ESU website in order to work all functions. Which gaugemaster decoder are you using?
-
They have a chap who does it for them in house. Not sure what his name is.
-
The file is available free of charge on the ESU website if you are able to blow your own decoders or you can order a pre blown decoder from our retailers or Road and Rails.
-
Love that.
-
There will be another run next year after the class 60 run completes.
-
It should have a handbrake wheel on each side. The contact point for the wheel to the end of the thin wire on the model is very small and they do come off quite easily. Something that we will address on the next batch.
-
We are planning a new batch next year, the factory is pretty backed up with our stuff for the rest of this year.
-
No problem, this thread is here to discuss all things grid. 👍
-
If by 'grid you mean the large horn grill then yes 056 onwards. If you mean the bang plate grid then that was 001 to 090.
-
The flange squeal shouldn't be on by default. It's activated by F7 so you should be able to see if it's on. Are you sure it's the squeal and not the bogie rattle sound as that is on be default?
-
You won't overload the motor. It's designed to crawl like the real loco when loading/unloading MGRs.
-
You ought to also remove the NEM pocket if detailing the end as well, as there is a very obvious hole without the grid fitted.
-
It was to protect equipment fitted directly behind the bufferbeam.
-
Ah apologies. It seems that I misread the question. Locos from 091 onwards (our series 4 cabs with the second man's vent) were not fitted with the bang grids. 090 the last series 3 was fitted with them.
-
They all had the grid under the bufferbeam.
-
Weathering the roof grilles has really brought out the fans.
