    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?

    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

    A video of the various lighting features and sounds of a V5 chip as programmed by myself.

    20 minutes with a Lokprogrammer soon sorted the lights outs. All independent.

    Love the class 50.

    134 maybe the star of the show but it can’t depart without 146 piloting. No turntable available.

    Thanks to everyone for such a great looking model.

    I’m a late eighties early nineties modeller so I can get away with the signals!
  12. NIRCLASS80
    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!

    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.

    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.

    Horns!

    33 seconds into this video you get the classic Class 80 horn sound! My home station for almost 40 years

    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

    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.

    3173 is a Bachmann Mk1 with brass overlays fitted and sprayed with BR maroon and transfers fitted from Railtech. Still work required to beef up the underframe. It’s more a model to represent the van rather than an accurate model with exact details. Here’s a link to the brass sides. https://www.mousa.biz/fourmm/coach/sides/CIE/cie_sides4.html#cie-mk-1-steam-heat-boiler-van Thanks for the positive comments
  19. NIRCLASS80
    Yes I have modified them. Would you like photos of how I did it?

    Hornby do make some great models. As for quality the only locomotive I can judge is their class 50. I have had them since the first ones were released in 2002/03. Eighteen of them later and have never had a problem. All of them are run regularly and they are super smooth and quiet and will pull 50 coaches if you have the room. They don’t meet the latest lighting functions you can find on recent releases but they are a good sound model. Hornby do make a range of models to suit different budgets but an example is the Class 66. I wouldn’t entertain buying one but I do know that a local modelshop that sold bucket loads recently with all the different liveries released. Everyone has a desired standard and thankfully we are all different!

    These wagons again certainly look impressive. Congratulations to all at IRM. I am trying hard to resist and will just have to purchase another A Class with the cash before I weaken !! Its great that the Irish model scene has so many options now.

    Thanks. They are not 100% pro typical but I picked them up a few years ago cheap so they will have to do!
