mphoey Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 i know you cant say how many but can a warning countdown be put on each loco as numbers drop like the wagons from last 25 lets say or so 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no real stock warning on preorders, I suppose. 124 & 134 are not really my era but would have liked to get one of each. Maybe Marks. Haven't been on here in a couple of weeks.

DiveController Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 (edited) Felt like it, really with no real health issues, this was very unexpected. Thanks! Thanks, Mark!

DART8118 Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 Given the way that these locos were operated is there any merit in posting a note explaining if the model will come wired/programmed to operate hood forward or cab forward? And for DCC users would there be any instructions on how to set the correct CV to change? Or does it matter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DART8118 Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 This is a single cab loco, so if I choose forward on my controller will the hood lead out or the cab lead out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume you are using Digital Command Control (DCC)! I use Digitrax. My handset has two control knobs. Each knob allows me to set an address or addresses for a locomotive/s and the direction of travel. Thus, one knob may show a locomotive facing, and running, Right to Left. The other know may show the opposite. Theses settings can be adjusted if required. Using a (simple) consist command the locomotives/s can be controlled from one command knob. Thus, in the case of two single cab locomotives(121) the cab ends can face outward, the bonnets inward toward one-and -other. Realistic running is perfectly possible..

Dhu Varren Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 (edited) On DCC control, the normal orientation of diesel locomotives is that the radiator end leads when going forward. This would mean that with a single cab loco the cab would be at the rear when travelling 'forward' on the controller, as per the Bachmann BR Class 20. However, it is possible that the MM 121 may be configured differently. Edited August 20, 2020 by Dhu Varren 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I treat my 121s as if the cab end is the front end, its the first bit on CV29 that controls direction. Few seconds to configure on most DCC controllers on the main or test track. When I press FWD on my cab my 121s start off cab first direction 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would explain the situation of the Class 20. But in saying that on old US switcher designs the cab is at No2 end, so who knows. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I merely stated that with DCC the default 'forward' for diesel locomotives is with the radiator end leading. This seems to be the norm for British and Irish models, but it may not be so in the US.

Broithe Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 I believe that the No 1 end is the front, and the No 2 end is the back. That's certainly the case with children, anyway. But, I've never found it easy to control the sound level. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJ Dangerous Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 Just to note, when sorting the 121's on the IRM site from Newest to Oldest, it doesn't seem to sort them in the correct order. Works perfectly for the A Class. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiveController Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 (edited) Yes, I noticed that and I wonder if they have different numbers of each model. 504 of each may have been produced but not all of those are destined for IRM obviously. It doesn't sort for most popular either insofar as sod out should be top of the list Edited August 29, 2020 by DiveController 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warbonnet Posted September 4, 2020 Author Share Posted September 4, 2020 Hi everyone, We got word today that the first 3 121s; B121, B135 and the RPSI special edition B134 are landing in Dublin next week.

We still have some stock of these three locos allocated to us, so get them before they go! https://irishrailwaymodels.com/collections/murphy-models-class-121-locomotive Cheers!
