Rallymatt Posted June 6 Share Posted June 6 Greg, a few people reported slow running, Try and CV8 reset, that should line everything up and remember to refresh CV list and power cycle. The other thing that is well worth doing is a motor calibration after running in. Details are on the HM DCC pages, very easy and all locos benefit from the fine tuning of the control system to the specific motor. Make sure you have a good length of track available as loco will fire off at full chat when the process is initiated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, not working for me in (up to date) Chrome on Windows 10. Video codec I presume as I get audio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GMD Posted June 6 Share Posted June 6 Many thanks for that RM - I will try it and hopefully it will resolve the issue. It almost feels as if the shunting mode is turned on right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stephen-1260829 Posted June 7 Share Posted June 7 (edited) Rails of Sheffield have informed my that my Class 50 is being post out to me. Looking forward to its arrival. I will have to run it in, on the track loop that comes with the Easterner set. The layout build wasgoing to be in the garage but we are having it converted, so the layout build is on hold for a few months. Edited June 7 by Stephen-1260829 added section on the layout build 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a fan but yeah I watched most of it as it came up following something else. I can't agree with his daft thoughts over the price "it's smaller it should be cheaper!". It's a well engineered and hefty mechanism on new tooling. Just try buying a Marklin Z loco and see how much it costs ya! Strange his sample was obviously jerky at slow speed even after running in. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rallymatt Posted June 7 Share Posted June 7 It’s daft things like saying a small scale loco should be cheaper is where people lose credibility. The Märklin Z range is a great example. Even T gauge that is good but not finely detailed at all is not cheap 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CV149 not 148 make sure all sound lighting etc off, setting 149 to 0 will arm auto calibration, power cycle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMD Posted June 7 Share Posted June 7 Thanks I re-set the vmid from 72 to 150 and that seems to have sorted it for now!! 1 minute ago, Rallymatt said: CV149 not 148 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
96RAF Posted June 7 Share Posted June 7 My mistake it should be CV149. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rallymatt Posted June 7 Share Posted June 7 V mid is set low to replicate the speed curve of the real loco. A rough approximation is that at half throttle the loco is at 25% of its potential maximum speed. Acceleration isn’t linear. You can play about with all these settings to suit the running characteristics or how you find it easier to control. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ntpntpntp Posted June 7 Share Posted June 7 It's quite often recommended NOT to fiddle with the speed CVs or the speed table with DCC sound fitted loco, as you could upset how the sound correlates to the speed: ie. steam chuff rate, diesel throttle notches etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might have to look for a good re-numbering service for my Leviathan. Hood or Ark Royal perhaps. I don't plan on getting as many class 50s as you though @Irishmail 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The latest catalogue gives the Class 37s as: BR, Class 37, Co-Co - Era 6 EWS, Class 37, Co-Co - Era 9 So presumably not green...? I think it is odd that they've gone for Era 6 when the Class 08, HST and Class 50 are all Era 7, but I guess an Era 6 Class 37 should just be a quick renumbering job to upgrade it to Era 7. At least the Class 31s is given as Era 7 (as well Era 6 and Era 9 EWS). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
