zeroOneman Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 I was lucky enought to receive a brand new Arnold Brighton Belle in the post yesterday. I must say I am extremely impressed - the detail is awesome, the weight of the driving car is immense & the pulling power is excellent.I did have a bit of a battle to get the driving car apart to get my dcc decoder in, but managed the process with no mishaps.I've fitted a Zimo MX 616N.I'd be interested to hear from others that have this loco & hear what decoders you are using & any particular cv values that have worked well for you - I have no issues with how I've configured mine, but am always looking to learn & improve things.I'm now waiting for the additional three carriages, at which time I might make a short video.

Yelrow Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 Hi, i have the previous blue one, 5 car set. Have they changed the couplings, as on mine, you have to join it all up, and then, offer it to the track Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeroOneman Posted September 9, 2020 Author Share Posted September 9, 2020 i found you can join the couplings whilst on the track, but I'm guessing it's the same, with basically three pins int the centre that push into the coupling on the next carriage...

ColinB Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 I have the old one with the "iffy" connectors, I use the Zimo decoder but I have never touched any of the cv values. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't recall Hornby-Arnold ever changing the couplings on their N gauge Brighton Belle. It's been the same since release day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any flat surface will do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
