derekdoestrains Posted July 22 Share Posted July 22 59 minutes ago, McC said: Not technically true, as posted earlier the components on the loksound changed during the period and tolerances changed as a result. The original speakers work perfectly well as configured with the ‘matching’ loksounds but the new version works better with the 8ohm. I’m sure that wasn’t what the early loksound 5 manuals said… 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

All of which have been designed and specified by ESU themselves. 👍👍 2 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

G-BOAF Posted July 28 Share Posted July 28 Anyone else having rough riding over pointework? One bogie on 779 is especially rattly over insulfrog, and I have a suspicion that the weight is concentrated on the centre driving wheel with the front and rear not really doing much (i.e. re-manifestation of Bachmann Banana bogie that affected the previous iteration of 37s and 47s). On straight track the bogie can definately be rocked up an down pivoting on the centre axle Before I contact AS, is this a common problem or something that should be sortable with a replacement bogie? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Set the loco on a piece of glass / mirror and see if they are true or not first. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's a Flickr link to it at Mountsorrel in service. https://flic.kr/p/2pHiLUh Jo Edited August 1 by Steadfast 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
