    Apologies this is a tad late Chris but these are the settings I use on my decoders just settings I picked up off RM Web CV1 ADDRESS ,CV2 START VOLTAGE EITHER 1 OR 2. CV3 FOR PASS 30 0R 60-70 FOR FREIGHT ie STEAM . CV 4 DE- ACCELERATION 15 . CV5 TOP VOLTAGE 150 .CV6 MID-SPEED 75 .CV8 Factory reset. haven't actually reset anything so dont know if this cv works ! There are probably variables on these and it isn't a definitive list just my settings I use hope it helps .

    Had my first profi track point break yesterday so got onto gauge master to order a new one ,and it seems Roco who have taken over Fleischmann have discontinued the range ,as the casting moulds are u/s .So beware those who use profi track in 00/ho once the stocks are gone thats it .

    Has anyone else had the problem of their loco " hunting" ie surging at moderate speeds it almost seems as if there is a bind somewhere but at low speed it seems okay and at very high only occurs at mid speed range .

    On the subject of BR cuisine you forgot to mention the bright yellow fruit cake that was encapsulated in Industrial strength plastic packaging ! Just the job for spotting at Cardiff General! along with tea that was brown water with sugar !

    just to unmuddy the waters a bit all my stock ETS/ ACE/ Basset Lowke runs ok on plain SM32 Track it s when you try to run it over the over points its gets a bit problematic, thats why I slide the check rail out and the stock runs thru the point okay , pity Peco don't do points with adjustable check rails as Maldon do just my experience of smerty2 for 0 gauge

    Just a view from the cheap seats ,i use Peco sm32 Track for my 0 gauge tinplate ( 2 Rail) as well as fine scale stuff, but have had to remove the check rail on the points as my modern Basset Lowke wagons won't run thru as the check rail gap is to small .I have tried ETS 2 rail track but again its a no go for my modern BL wagons so best check before you buy. As an aside there is a manufacturer ,Model Railway parts ,who makes replacement wheel sets for Darstaed /Ace stock to enable them to use fine scale track.

    I have often attended call outs to wagon couplings breaking ( send the bits off to Derby for testing ) but never a loco ! And I have never had to change a Loco coupling either. Lost count of Loco buffers I have changed !!
