Hi, I am wondering if the amount left per item will appear again on the website, I think since the .co.uk website came online that this disappeared.

Hmmm... interesting to know, I was actually starting to think of looking at getting a new DCC system in 2021 at some point. I was actually looking at NCE at my local model railway store yesterday as they had them and Digitrax.

I would also like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and stay safe

Well besides having issues with my sound on my MM0121, these are pics of the lights I have from it, I am not sure if they are correct that is bothering me. Please feel free to advise

I did read the MM website and it does state that you should go to the dealer where you got the locos from and I did that, he got back to me very quickly and is working with me on this. I so appreciate that he got back to me so fast so hopefully I shall know more in the next couple of days

This is the other end dude and I did get it wrong, it is the left one that has the issue from the other end. I am willing to fix the stuff myself if I am allowed to, it would be easier than sending it back to Ireland. Not doing nothing until advised further

I have gotten 3 of my order for 121's a couple of days ago and one of them MM0121 has no sound coming from it, swapped decoders and still nothing from it. Also a strange color on one of the LEDs from MM0125, the LED on the pic for the right hand side. I just emailed my vendor so see what I can do being in the US on this one. I just hope that the rest of them from what I have ordered are ok.

I only saw this today for replacement for Lima and Hornby motors, https://www.strathpefferjunction.com/product-category/ringfield-motor-conversion-kits/lima-replacement-motor-kits/ wonder if it would be any good to anyone that has a Lima 201

I would agree with everyone advising lubrication. I am unboxing my locomotives out of storage at the moment on test track and I am putting a little lubrication on the gears to ease things. I have a couple of locomotives since the 90s that I running in again. It is making a huge difference to each locomotive. It would do no harm to open up and make sure everything is ok with the model

I am wondering, I have collected a lot of model locomotives over the years starting off with Murphy Models baby GMs and well to be honest, I want to get them going so as you can imagine, I have them in storage since for most of them, when I purchased them new. I am wondering do I need to lubricate them besides running them in as I need to as they finally get to hit the tracks? I would be asking for both Diesel and Steam Locomotives.

I would be in the market also for RPSI but I would need a few weeks....

While online looking around, I came across a couple of 181s: https://www.adverts.ie/toy-cars-trains-boats-planes/model-train/21947870 https://www.adverts.ie/toy-cars-trains-boats-planes/model-trains/21746232 Cravens: https://www.adverts.ie/toy-cars-trains-boats-planes/4-x-murphy-models-craven-coaches/21841228 https://www.adverts.ie/toy-cars-trains-boats-planes/model-train/21789259 Lima Executives: https://www.adverts.ie/toy-cars-trains-boats-planes/2-x-lima-executive-coaches/21915402

Is there a chance that the link posted by Fran above can get fixed? I am getting to finally having a layout going and as I have an order in, I am thinking of at some point putting kadees on my stock

Hi Fran, How many packs for each will be produced? Thanks in advance, Mark

Wonder how far away is this one from the Murphy Models one - https://www.ebay.com/itm/HO-SCALE-ATHEARN-DIESEL-LOCOMOTIVE-CAN-MOTOR-UPGRADE-KIT/363118877214?hash=item548b925a1e:g:7kcAAOSwk8te5pAk

@Warbonnet I am grateful for the breather as I am trying to catch up with the 121's, I am sorry to hear of the issues with the A class locomotives, it is fantastic that issues are getting corrected at this stage. I have to ask, with the changes in taxes over there, if you get a pre-order now, while the tax is lower, can I correctly assume that since orders taken and paid for before the changes in tax in February (I think when it changes back), will the cost of the loco stay as is it now before they bump it back up?

Any sign of the DCC decoders coming with them?

@DiveController I hope that you are doing ok dude, I am sorry to hear that you had a health issue lately. Take care man

I know that this company local to me ships international - https://www.trainsetsonly.com/ they have no store only a warehouse I think, but they are listed as a dealer for ESU products and it maybe because of Covid-19 that stocks are low, at the moment so it maybe worth keeping an eye on them to see if they get more over the next few months. They did have more items on the website than they have right now

Finally after waiting since my order was dispatched on June 17th timeframe, they finally arrived today. I actually thought I was not getting them.

@Noel Actually since I posted, I did reach out to Wheeltappers and I was advised on the DCC decoders, I will be wanting to get them for my locomotives and I will look at slowly getting them but I am trying to get them here in the US, the issue is that the North American market have a different DCC decoder that is available in Europe and hence I have to get anything in the US re-blown and I can get the files from them. I was trying to see what the difference is as I was provided the part numbers for the European ones but of course, I cannot locate them here in the US. I am still wondering, what is the difference between the US and the European ones and I will need to work with Wheeltappers once I get some. I am not sure the way things are going if this will be this year when I start this or next year. I was actually looking again last night on sound decoders as I cannot just go to my local store as they advised they do not carry them but i have to meet the owner to confirm as they are listed as a store you can buy them on the ESU website. Later all Mark

Cool if they developed a DCC sound decoder for this, support it would require a exact replica to be made of the real one to record the sounds from.. Well they did make a couple of locos in the UK like Tornado so who knows what the future will bring...

@DiveController thanks dude, I was looking at the Peco gauges and I am going to get them, I may have to get them on Amazon but we shall see, must get some track and get a plan together. From what you and Murrayrec have advised, I may stick with going 67mm between the rails.

@DiveController may have a point but this year is the year where I am finally trying to get a layout together. Got my room finished where it is going so I am hoping to get to the store this weekend and get me some plywood. Still one can hope that a Big Boy will arrive...
