Some great info from @Signal Post / @Noel and from @Fowler4f.

Can the functions on the IRM Crossley sound decoder be re-mapped, or is each function locked to a specific address? Sorry if this has already been answered and I've missed it.

As with @Jonathan_RK, I'd love to know if a decoder can be reset to default without losing the sound file?

You can reset as often as you like. it will reset the chip to as you got it.

Thanks @BosKonay, email signed up and fingers crossed ... its a particularly attractive livery, I'd say they'll fly out the door!

Apart from the network rail yellow, they've been the biggest sellers, volume wise, so far.

Now that the Large Logo 37s have landed, any word on how long you think before you've completed sending out pre-orders and stock to shops? Hoping to pounce on one of these if there's surplus stock ...

Best way to do that is to add your email to the website and keep an eye out - we always hold back an amount of units to cover any possible issues, warranty, etc, which are released in small batches a number of days and weeks after the stock lands. All orders will be away (including shops) by Monday next.

Full marks to the IRM team for no doubt undertaking a lot of work to bring these undoubtedly elusive sounds to us!  Three of my 4 A class are original Crossley-engined locomotives, but so far, I have only bought one of the new decoders.  From my very limited experience of installing these, I’m guessing the fragile nature of the pins makes it inadvisable to regularly swap decoders between locomotives?

 

They are very sturdy really, and if one breaks, send it back for a replacement

Interesting.

I take it that the reason for double-heading on such a short train is incase of a loco failure?

Exactly that. Can’t afford the risk of nuclear material sitting still and creating a security issue. 

They can try but they don’t get in. 

Not sure the agenda, other than bots, since every single member joining is manually moderated, so it's pretty pointless

You can order on the IRM website?

Mix and match - generally anything in the same or era-similar liveries ran together, or can

Do as I do and imagine Accurascale to be a money-laundering operation that subsidises our ever-expanding addictions...

Got it in one  

We’re finally out the far side of pandemic and war induced delays and shortages (he says while glancing at the road ahead in hope!)

From when until when did each of the five liveries operate?

Each product listing includes the exact dates. hth!

Don’t worry Sean. You’ll soon be sorry you asked

If you look at the rewards widget on the website it outlines the levels and rewards 

It may even have an irish connection 

It means Dapol dropped the price to trade so traders ran specials. Guess they are moving slower than expected. 

We have had it happen

Quick question, @Warbonnet or @BosKonay I was just thinking, is there any update on the sound decoder for the A Class Crossley sound decoder? Figured I would poke the question. 

We are working on a solution, hopefully not too much longer to wait!

Thanks guys, the next question to ask is I wonder it the bogies will become a separate items at some stage

"Eventually" but the priority is to release lots of stunning models running on them first.

@Warbonnet Fran are they all suburban versions or are there any mainline (intercity) versions planned?

Yep, from the announcement, we will launch mainline and ambulance versions anon...

Ya I understand all that but I don't have and never had a bank account, credit card or debit card, I use the stuff we had years ago called money , it's still legal tender in my house

if you have paypal you have a bank account

Otherwise Fran will happily take cash at the october show if we’ve any left

I sure did, just wondering if anyone else is in the same boat.

PS, just got the latest reply, they are sorry, they cannot process the order with PayPal, it's frustrating.

You can pay with Paypal but the preorder system needs a card to secure your order (like booking a hotel)

We take all debit and credit cards so your regular bank account debit card will do. We don’t actually charge it just perform a preauth. 

When the time comes we’ll send you a payment link and you can use all supported methods. 

Mathis method allows us to keep things automated so costs low and allows us the option to take orders with no money down and not need a deposit.
