A great model it makes you feel as if you had it yourself and if you saw it in real life yourself. I wish you a lot of fun with it.

Looks great and sound is spot on but feel like the smoke option still needs some work. Hats off to Dapol for taking the plunge and adding it in as a standard option for mainstream RTR models though.

Some issues with the drive train and noisey motors with the 59s

This is good to see, thanks. Does the smoke appear at a certain revs or were you manually controlling it by function number? ATB, Andy.

@Railfreight37 Жыл бұрын

The smoke only occurs for a short while on acceleration. - still testing but no smoke on notch 1 . 2 and above it seems to work. There is no manual override . It would be nice if it did it on start up. I sure there's a way to alter it. It can be turned off completely by a dip switch inside the loco

The smoke is in no way controlled hey the decoder. It senses the onset of current to the motor and gives 20-25 seconds of smoke. The loco then needs to stop and restart in order to trigger another ‘burst’ of smoke. There are no user parameters for this. Hope this helps! Cheers!

@@keiththesoundguy2890 Afraid that creates as many questions as answers. The smoke unit must get it's power from somewhere. Does the smoke unit have circuitry built in? Is the control on the pcb and not the decoder? Thanks for the input though, the plot thickens!!!

@@keiththesoundguy2890 thanks for the info ! do you know if the smoke units could be fed directly from the chip to control it - like the esu-( the esu somke generator has a control baord ) or like zimo o gauge version . it would be great if there was a way to make it work on start up and on acceleration - i know LMB sound was unable to have the chip control it on the esu loksound

Just seems the bottom of the chasis just seems to be very plastic looking Could do with a weathering up with track dirt to take the horrible plastic look off it and a black front and rear valance

@Railfreight37 Жыл бұрын

yes definitely needs weathering.

I got mine and weathered it up 59206 in DB schenker livery
