mmie353 Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 @WarbonnetIRM have no issues in getting any sound decoders? I was speaking to the store that I order my ESU sound chips on Friday and he advised they cannot get anything from ESU at the moment, they are trying apparently to get more in for months now. He has no ETA as to when he will get more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So we have secured supply for the A (in stock) as well as our forthcoming UK outline locos (55, 92, 37, etc) but they are not currently manufacturing the non sound chips at all.

Billycan Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 That's a bit of a bummer and looks like we'll have to feel some pain. But ouch! What's the best estimate for when the non sound chips will be available? Perhaps there's an alternative? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are cosmetic screw couplings that are basically NEM draw bars but then your stock is permenantly coupled so no possibility of shunting 1 hour ago, BosKonay said: ESU are using what supply they do have for OEM Sound chips (ie: high value customers).

We know the As are taking a couple of weeks more to travel from China than we had initially hoped (and yes, they are arriving much later than we had stated when first announced due to well documented reasons!) but with the state of the manufacturing world right now we are in a much better position with these than several other manufacturers, such as model railway producers, many of which have had to put releases back over 12 months due to supply chain issues. At least now we are into A Class week, and they land with us on Friday! Cheers! Fran Absolutely! I suppose its also a matter of scaling, with the A-class taking up a single 40ft container compared to the likes of Hornby who probably end up with multiple containers full at different stages so would be a much larger scale logistical effort. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure for all we know, Australia might not be back to normal before next summer. Until Australia declare themselves happy with their progress in the fight against Coronavirus, while hoping that there's no EU fallout from the AUKUS debacle, nobody can give you a firm date. When they're here, they're here, be it a year or two years or whatever. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it might be the Cadena 3, she’s an ex MOD point class sealift vessel(beachy head), not sure if she still has gun mounts and anti piracy gear but she might need to them repel boarders coming up the Liffey!
