Hi Chris I always use my DRS twenties paired nose to nose. Both my locos have Legomanbiffo V5 Plux 22 decoders. on the instructions you can download from DC Kits website there is some interesting information at the bottom of the sheet below the function table. Change CV159 and CV29 as suggested for lead and trailing loco and when locos are consisted the lead loco starts first followed by trailing loco. Also, horn only sounds on the loco that is leading. regards John

Hi Chris I run my two sound 20s nose to nose in tandem no problem. I use the ESU ECoS decoder, what are you using? John

That is a shame - not that I want to see the back of the HST sets as still most comfortable for travel! -

The next Accurascale steam loco in OO ???
JohnC replied to Covkid's topic in Accurascale / Irish Railway Models
I still think that there are some really good locos that have yet to see a super detailed example manufactured or, indeed, never manufactured. Hawksworth County D49 B16 -
Any news on the FNA-D wagons? wondered when we might expect them to be delivered? Or will they be after all Caroline orders sorted?
-
I am having a real problem getting all the light functions to work on my Caroline so have emailed Revolution. All lights function on DC but cannot get the sole bar or tunnel lights to work on DCC. I have installed a 6 function AE decoder and then an 8 function Dapol Imperium and no joy on either. I am swinging toward a possible problem with PCB in the coach.
-
Hi Butler Henderson Cannot seem to get the solebar or tunnel lights working and I am using a 6 function AE decoder (DCC Concepts). All the 4 dip switches underneath the coach are in the on position and instructions don’t say any should be changed. Is that the same configuration you have on your model? Regards John

Cavalex Models All new RTR HAA and variants in 4mm scale
JohnC replied to Grimleygrid's topic in Cavalex
Hi Chris i have now changed over all my HAA couplings and my BBA/BLA couplings to Hunt Elite pivoted couplings and they run great. I had the added problem of a helix at each end of the layout so had to change from the poor tension locks. John -

Good morning all I currently have 3 class 37s from Accurascale, one of which was factory fitted sound and for the other two I purchased sound decoders and Accurathrash speakers from Accurascale. on running the locomotives I notice the volume on both the self fitted sound decoders and speakers are not as loud as the factory fitted one. I have checked CV 63 and both match the level set on factory fitted as 192. Has anyone else noticed this difference and if so, have you managed to sort out the difference? John -
Exactly the same situation with the new class 47 - it would not have required rocket science to come up with an answer!

Hi McC Not sure if the question has been brought up before, forgive me if it has. I get the idea that the V5 sound decoders installed in your class 37 locos have been specifically produced for yourselves by ESU (Even my ESU ECoS cannot recognise decoder as a V5 Loksound!) Are all the CVs the same as a normal V5 Loksound decoder or do they differ on your ESU V5? Regards John -
Personally, I do not think Dapol get the accolades they deserve for these locos. When they first came out, there was not another rtr loco to match them. They are superbly detailed and have excellent haulage capacity.

Removing Bachmann Class 37 numbers
JohnC replied to Ben Alder's topic in Modifying & Detailing RTR stock
Hi I use liquid Brasso or T Cut on a cotton bud and gently rub away. Leaves a perfect shiny area to apply replacement decal and then seal with a flash over of satin varnish with air brush and you cannot tell loco has been re-numbered. John -
How realistic are your models? Photo challenge.
