Just reset decoder to 4 on CV 8 and now it just shoots off at full speed with no control at all. Only way to stop it is to switch off the power. Not even able to program any more. Does this mean it's shot. Never heard of this problem happen before.

Just reset my Dapol imperium decoder writing 4 to CV 8. It now runs at full speed without any control and the only way to stop it is to switch off the power. Can't even get to reprogram it say error on controller. 

Any thoughts?

That's done it then I've only got 20 functions on my controller. Wanted them for 2 Bachmann class 20s. Looks like shelling out for Locksound.

Just wondering, do the TTS decoders support cab lights?

Thanks to all for comments. I have now got these grills from an rmweb member who had one set spare. Blue ones as well!! Just shows you get results on this forum!

Thanks but I saw the kit from P.H designs and they looked daunting! If I can't get anything then I might try the Lima ones if you say they will fit. Do they come out without any problems? Seen your flicker page, they look fab!

Be very careful! I've took them off before with no problems but this time it caught me out because the body tilted off the chassis before I could grab hold of the middle. Make sure you keep the body level when lifting it off! Good luck.

Thanks to all for your help. I think I might go for the green one Peter's spares have got and paint it blue. Any ideas which is the best paint for this?

Thanks I'll check them out.

Yes that's what I am going to do I think. It's seems it's a common problem as everyone hasn't got any blue ones which are the best sellers. They don't even know when they will get new stocks. That's Hornby for you.

Yep I did think about that, it might be my only option.

Thanks for replying.

Does anyone know if the louvers from a Lima 50 body will fit in the Hornby model. I've stupidly broke one of mine fetching the body off and can't get replacement anywhere. All the usual suppliers have none in stock for the blue models. I could get a lima body but not sure if I could get them off without breaking them.Not bothered about them not moving. Any help would be appreciated.
