RMweb Gold 97406 Posted December 24, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 24, 2022 The DCC sound version sounds epic. Really pleased with it. I can see the Accurathrash speaker from the non-sound one being tried out in one of my Class 40s. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Ncarter2 Posted December 24, 2022 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 24, 2022 Ravel was a nice unexpected arrival this morning. Really nice touch with the box, and the limited edition certificate. I was interested in 015 as well, but don’t recall in working on the network post being made into its current guise, so held off. Looking forward to Kernows now. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My family is amazed that the two are the same scale. I took this last week in Monk Bar Models. Hard to believe that Rocket is a larger scale! 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Br60066 Posted December 24, 2022 Share Posted December 24, 2022 Has anyone gotten anywhere with DCC fitting a DC model and getting all the functions to work? I know we need an MTC decoder and was hoping a Dapol Imperium 1 I have would do the trick. Any CV wizards willing to share their secrets? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You won't be able to adjust pantograph height without having servo functionality on the chip either. I presume based on what has already been said by the Accurascale guys that as long as you have outputs on AUX11 and 12 you can operate the pantographs without servo functionality on the chip, but I can't see how adjustment would be possible without it.

Think you might be right with that one! Was just trying to get something working over the festive period. Think there would be a huge market for a "DCC for dummies" course or book! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That at least would let you know what output on your decoder did what. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is what is on the card for DCC sound, in case this info isn't in the DCC ready box I don't know if activating AUX7 does anything with the pantos or not. On the LS/LP5 it would be/is (on sound models) configured as servo power so I expect AUX11/12 are still setting the position.

Today I’ve been trying to buy another on the .com site - showing as 50 in stock for most of the day which seems a bit odd - but it doesn’t allow for delivery to Ireland. So I can’t buy there. On the IRM / EU site all 92s are showing as out of stock so I can’t buy there either! I’m wondering if it’s something I’m doing incorrectly or if it’s on the Accurascale side?

Damo666 Posted December 26, 2022 Share Posted December 26, 2022 I'm very upset that I didn't receive my 92001 before Christmas. I know there is a tendency on this forum to complain about little things, but this is MAJOR! Although to be fair, I only ordered it today.

Retailers and manufacturers have been busting their guts trying to get stuff to us before Christmas. I wish they hadn’t. The time coming up to Christmas was so busy that I could have done without four new locos arriving and distracting me. It goes to show that you can’t please everyone.
