No Movement!

[TheOldChuffer]

I've finally managed to make a TTS decoder make noise!

Bought and fitted the new Class 43 chip to a DCC ready class 43. 

BUT!!

The sound is working fine in the powered and non powered cars however it won't move!  I rev's up and then applies the brakes but there is no movement.

I'm using a Digitrax Zephyr controller.  Has anyone else had a similar issue??

Thanks

Jon

I know it sounds strange, but humour me on this one.

Turn the loco round by 180° on the track so that it is facing the other way. Do you experience any control over it now (or different control observations). If you do, then have a read of this previous post by Hornby Admin.

I will be watching this thread with interest having just ordered the same pair of chips from a well known Merseyside mail order company. My intention is to install them in a Lima HST set. I will be interested in others' experiences of installing TTS decoders as I think I have a queue of 4 waiting installation when I get time. I will be using Hornby Elite for programming.

My many TTS decoders, steam and diesel, pre-fitted and retro kits all work fine with my Elite, Select and eLink.

Go ahead and fit them. TTS isn’t very impressive in the box.

My experience is similar, Rob......I use Loksound, TTS and Econami sound decoders and all work with the Elite and Select controllers........... 😀............HB

I have a pair of TTS that will be going into the Class 43/253 Intercity 125 HSTs that I recently posted on the Latest Aqcuisition thread, which is ringfield motored. I will do a full conversion to DCC and led lights instead of the bulbs and post progress in the next few weeks when I get home again.

Thanks for the positive views - all I need to find is the time to get busy with the soldering iron.
