  1. Short video of some local railway action including a working with some PCA’s as produced by the lads at Accurascale.
  2. No problem with the speaker in the one MM 121 I have purchased so far. I have had a couple of faulty speakers in the past from various other manufacturers so it’s not a unique problem. At the end of the day the more features and extras that a model has the more chance of a problem. What I would say is the 121 is a nicely designed bit of kit.
  3. Just a little note to say that if anyone wants a chip remapped with functions on the F button they desire or a complete reblow please private message me and I will give you details of service provided. All of my sounds can be seen in action on the Ballyercall thread under Irish Layouts.
  4. Thanks for the update. Some financial relief although you did say in another thread that you might have another announcement soon, “so take the money!”
  5. The 121 model just released is really nice. But I think this photo just shows how good the 141/181 stands up against its 12 year younger cousin!
  6. Is the A class delivery going to be after Christmas just I am trying to negotiate a present?
  7. Sorry but I haven’t a clue what CV’s effect what as I have used a Lokprogrammer for years. Does anyone think there would be a market for a decoder programming service?
  8. In normal usage I would just use F3 but I just wanted to show the coast option. I set acceleration at 160 and deceleration at 120. Just mapped the functions using the Lokprogrammer
  9. A video of the various lighting features and sounds of a V5 chip as programmed by myself.
  10. 20 minutes with a Lokprogrammer soon sorted the lights outs. All independent.
  11. Here’s my sound file demonstration and light functions
  12. 134 maybe the star of the show but it can’t depart without 146 piloting. No turntable available.
  13. Thanks to everyone for such a great looking model.
  14. I’m a late eighties early nineties modeller so I can get away with the signals!
  15. I suppose the signalling is the greatest problem but if you use your imagination that Ballyercall is just over the border in Northern Ireland UK standard signalling is ok with both sets of stock!
  16. Every now and then I change the stock on my layout completely over to British rolling stock to enjoy my little collection of models. Hope someone enjoys.
  17. The handrails shouldn’t be damaged if the model is handled correctly. Lifting the model by the fuel tank is the proper way to handle. If we want finely detailed models we have to handle appropriately.
  18. 33 seconds into this video you get the classic Class 80 horn sound! My home station for almost 40 years
  19. Just recently completed a GSV using these brass overlays. https://www.mousa.biz/fourmm/coach/sides/CIE/cie_sides4.html#cie-mk-1-steam-heat-boiler-van The end result can be seen in this video
  20. Ok here goes. Firstly one word of caution is that this worked ok for me on my layout with a minimum radius of 24inches. Cut off coupling mount from the locomotive’s bogie. Then take the valance in the detail pack and cut a small slot. Then glue a NEM coupler pocket to the back of the valance in line with the slot. Once the glue is dried fit the Kadee NEM style coupler. Then fit to loco. I haven’t glued this to the loco and so far haven’t had any issues. Hope the photos make this all clear. Total time 30 minutes both ends.
