BR(S) Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 Dapol have listed the liveries for the next Class 73 production run. People after corrected colour versions of the previous liveries are going to be disappointed: https://digest.Dapol.co.uk/forum/main-forum/diesel-aa/class-73-aa/3277-liveries-for-the-next-production-run-of-class-73-s Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold griffgriff Posted October 26, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 26, 2016 The NSE model sounds promising provided that they took notice of the advice they were given. Griff Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Phatbob Posted October 27, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 27, 2016 I see that they are doing 73 202 in Southern Livery. I do hope that they will be doing the loco in it's current guise as "Graham Stenning". Graham was himself an accomplished railway modeller, as well as a very good and sadly missed friend. He was often to be found at exhibitions behind one of the layouts of Roundhouse of this parish, along with myself and others (and also with us in the local real ale establishments after the show). A model loco would be a fitting tribute, to follow on from the real one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
James90012 Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 What did 73109 get up to in NSE livery? There don't seem to be that many pictures of it online, especially not in regular service? My layout is/will not be remotely near third rail but perhaps with my 73101 they can stick to railtour duties on diesel power! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A photo is pinned on the back of a number of layouts of our friends nameplates on the loco. Fingers crossed the shades will be correct as Dapol hopefully have this livery correct for Gaugemaster N scale version. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

martin_l_jones Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 I've got an interesting scenario, fitted a Bachmann 21 pin decoder to my GBRf Class 73, resoldered the wires for correct directional running, tested with my Dynamis and all ok. Run in on DC all seems ok. Set it to run on the layout and it will not respond, sets off at a crawl but is uncontrollable. I use a basic EZ controller on the layout, similar problem I had with my Windhoff MPV unit that wouldn't respond, and ended up fitting a Sapphire Decoder which resolved it. Just wondered whether anyone else had had a similar problem with their loco. http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/55835-a-problem-with-my-class-350/?hl=sapphire&do=findComment&comment=680845 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has exactly that with one of my 73's and class 22's. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
martin_l_jones Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 Thanks, I will have to check which decoder it is as the 557 is four function whereas the 554 is only two. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

martin_l_jones Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 So need some help on the running of my 73. Have now fitted a Sapphire Decoder and it responds to the Dynamis Controller. However it does not respond to the EZ controller and just crawls along at the same speed. Anybody running one successfully with a basic DCC set.

metropolitan cammell Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 To turn off DC running you need to reduce the value in cv29 by 4, if your hand set can not read cv values use this http://www.2mm.org.uk/articles/cv29%20calculator.htm cv29 calulator and enter the value in cv29.

However tested on a Dynamis and loco runs fine which is annoying. Edited December 18, 2016 by martin_l_jones Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
