I ran it this morning and it was slowing down and speeding up. i opened the moulding which has motor in and it was smokey. Like you said, it is faulty. what should I do? Get repaired or send back? I only just got it!
I have been running it for 5 minutes today and i have smelt the part that covers the motor and its giving off a motory strong smell just a little. Is it okay because its new?
I just got it for christmas, a nice, smooth runner. I put the moulded gray blocks on thee master and slave units but they seem loose when touched.,Is this right or do they need a few light slams every now and then?
@intercity112255 they should be tight when fitted right but they can be a pain to fit in the holes tho.other than that its a fantastic unit although i never use mine, (not sure why tho).
Totally unique item for the layout. Detail terrific, lots to break !! Only dissapointment is the buffers are fixed and non spring, buts thats a minor...
Funny how you said you use a Dynamis, I ran mine in on DC then reset the loco number and with the Dynamis but I have three EZ controllers on my layout and it wouldn't perform, completely dead. Bachmann said it should so it went back to Hattons, presume its faulty. According to Bachmann it definately doesn't run with some Hornby DCC sytstems.
@mljones21 i use the bachmann dynamis.and yes it run straight from the box after i fitted the chip.but i have heard a few other people wasnt so lucky!
have you got one and have you had any issues with it?
@steveallen808909 thanks steveallen or davros whatever your name is.its a great loco and i recommend it.i will be post an update soon aswell as some major changes have happened on the tmd side of the layout.
im not sure ill get one its a possibility but i expected it to be a bit better really because all mine would be doing is sitting in a siding lets hope bachmann do an un moterised version so you can pull it behind a loco
@bobtoo07 yep my want list is huge.but ive had my eye on this since they announced it and its that good that i bumped it right to the top of the list.get it you wont be dissapointed.
@1968concorde cheers mate.im trying real hard to make it look as real as possible.if i could get it to look like willesden junction id be more than happy!!!
Very very nice mate!!! Is it DCC fitted? Im going to have to wait a few weeks for this because as per the things i want most come out when i cant afford them!!! It happend with the Pretendolino as i was on holiday. Plus i start a new job tomorrow so thats an extra week before next pay day. Look forward to more footage from you in the meantime mate :)
@ApacheBravo cheers mate.sorry i dont know your name.and it came dcc ready so i had to fit a 21 pin decoder in it.and its the most simple one ive ever fitted.good luck with the new job and save your money quick as this loco is worth every penny.
@bloodmarine77 Im Jack by the way and its ok because I dont know yours either lol I plan on getting it in a weeks time after my next pay day, I cant wait!!! Hopefully the DCC fitted version will be released too. Ah you finally managed to get a 21 pin decoder, glad they are back in stock. Thanks, im two days in and the new job is going great, couldnt be better :)
@ApacheBravo hi jack im terry.i dont think the dcc fitted version will be out for a while.as for the 21 pin decoders they are not availabe until next year now but i have found somewhere that has around 30 of them and i got myself a couple.if you need any let me know and i will tell you where you can get them.
@bloodmarine77 Thats not good then, no DCC fitted model and no 21 pin chips!!! I guess I will just have to enjoy watching yours then lol Unless they sell online I wont be able to get them as im sure were at opposite ends of the country :)
@EverardJunction its brilliant mate.shame its out of your era tho.but i agree less is sometimes more.its ok to heavilt weather some of the older locos but theres some locos that you just dont want to ruin so i will be taking my time on this one with just abit of dirt here and there.
Superb looking model, bachmann have done a great job. Just needs some heavy weathering, (they're filthy!), and to be broken down and causing havoc in the middle of peak service, and it's just like the real thing :p
@azymitch bachmann have done a good job of it.i will be giving it a light weathering but i wont be making it very grimey like my other locos as i think it will be a shame to ruin all the great details on it!
@midlandspotters very good on all radious curves.and i would say yes its worth it.it retails at around £150 in most places but i got it for £100.but its well worth having as it adds some more character to a layout and is differant to all other locos,
ive got to say bachmann are miles ahead in terms of new additions and quality as well as price.i think the mpv would look good on your layout aswell mate!
Very nice model. Cool layout and trains. Thumbs up! :)
