It will be fine as the V5 has logic level at the 21 pin socket for Aux 3 & 4 and full power at the pads at the other end of the decoder
-
Santa very kindly brought me a Dapol 68008 Avenger, unfortunately I had got one myself just before Christmas. Were there any other DRS Class 68's in this updated form so I can rename/number this second one. Thanks in advance
-
I believe so. I can only speak for the ECML pullman bit others existed at that time such as the Bournemouth Belle, I don't know if they had the later crest or we steel sided
-
That later crest Pullmans steel sided were for use with the Metro Cammell MK1 pullmans introduced in 1961. There were no Mk1 Pullman brakes built. Some K type Kitchens and Parlours were also retained as spares,these also had the later creast
-
Thanks Commoner that's great
-
Massive thanks to Flood Does anyone have a 1977 78 timetable for the ECML? Mike
-
Thanks Flood thats famtastic Mike
-
Brilliant, thanks very much
-
Thanks Flood that's great, Just to be a pain there is a separate Pullman page further on in the timetables, is it possible to get those aswell Ta Mike

Hi All I am researching East Coast Pullman Services in the 1970’s and need some details from the following timetables 6 May 1974 until 4 May 1975 5 May 1975 until 2 May 1976 3 May 1976 until 1 May 1977 2 May 1977 to 7 May 1978 The information I need are the times and stops for the Tees Tyne Pullman (Up to 2nd May 76) and the Hull and Yorkshire Pullmans for all dates please If anyone has copies could you post a scan/picture of the Pullman Page, normally around page 255 of the ECML timetables Thanks Mike

That looks really good. I have done one of mine but as you say a tricky job. One more little job you can do to improve things is to paint the visible parts of the pickups black so they don't show through the bogie frames (not the bit that touches the wheels though
-
If you are not going for sound use a Lokpilot 4, the halos will work with all the other lighting functions
-
Sorry posted in error
-
Minehead was fine with a Loksound 4 and I also tried it with a Lokpilot Pilot 4 without issue. Make sure all the switches are as per the instructions.
-
If I like a model when it is announced I pre-ordered it and the start putting some money away each month, as the release dates are often drawn out I have plenty put aside when the item is released....cash flow problem solved.
-
I am using a Lokpilot 4. It gives all the functions including the halo lights
-
Para 4 of the owners guide says that SW3 needs to be in P1. the only way to get to that switch I with the body off
-
Mine was the same meaning if you want a coupling at both ends, as I do with one of mine, there are not enough "skirts"/valances
-
Thanks Roy
-
Thanks Ben I will look at the instructions again but I don't think it says when the prototype 68's use them
-
Can someone tell me when are the halo lights on the Class 68 actually used please?
-
No it is a 6 function decoder. All working now
-
It was me. A case of RTFI and get the switches in the right place and the function mapping correct!
-
Mine has arrived and all I can say is what a fantastic model. Yes the name plates are a little off and despite me fitting a Lokpilot 4, a listed decoder in the instructions, I can't get all the functions working correctly (that's probably me). Good job Dapol
-
I am expecting 2 of these, one dc and one with sound. The first one is at the post office waiting for me to collect this evening. For the first time I am dreading picking it up and seeing if it has all these problems. All that money and very little enjoyment......let's hope for the best.
