Bee, can only agree with clear comms on here and that on occasion quoting posts helps. My point is mainly about the unnecessary instance of quoting posts immediately above, like this one. And then there are straightforward topics where it is clear if reply is to a post considerably above.

Interesting but unkosher. We are not talking about mains hum here, 50 or 60Hz, we are talking about RF (radio frequency) AM (amplitude modulated) hash, possibly produced by a poor switchmode supply, but more likely by the motor. When TVs were AM, that could be a problem. Now, with FM/digital TVs, not an issue in general.

Agree with RAF you don’t need DCC types but then, in this day and age, you don’t actually need RF suppression either. You could simply connect by soldering a bus wire from the controllers to the rails in each loop.

Just to update Australian supply, my local hobby store has a total of 40 TT:120 items in its catalogue with no new items in something like 12 months. They include the original 2 sets and 6 locos, 5 steam and 1 x 08. Then if Rails can ship 4 Mk3s to me for a total of £18 postage (Hornby charge would have been 4 x £50), why would I go elsewhere.

Would be interesting to know just how prevalent this problem is given it has now been reported in multiple threads along with how to fix for those willing to do a little disassembly.

Another satisfied customer using the standard fix that has been working across multiple threads. And just on deleting and reloading the app - known to be unnecessary. All it achieves is lots of work reloading locos. No big deal when you have only two locos, a pain for nothing if you have 20.

Knob-turn on press has been well-documented. With the zero, before returning, try repeated presses to see if it improves.

All valid. And Rob, post roll-up is exactly why I said handled more elegantly. PS. Note no need to quote Rob’s post to direct a reply to him. In fact, no need to @96RAF to do so.

Paul’s last post was on 5 Feb on the New Platform topic in this forum prior to its release. Although Rob summarised the features to be included as the Mods were already playing with (trialing) it.

On the previous forum, a lot of advice was given to not unnecessarily quote replies, rather use the text box at the bottom of the page and the green reply button. What’s changed? It now seems de rigeur to quote posts in replies, even when the reply is immediately below the post. Although I will admit that it is handled far more elegantly now. Irrespective, I shall continue to not.

Forum history also suggests that a number of running problems are solved by going to 4 Amp, even when apparently not overloading the 1 Amp.

While as RAF says there is a bug being worked on for this, it is most unusual that unlink/remove loco from shed/re-link doesn’t work.

Mine have a little further to travel.

That would have been a very expensive single HM7000 decoder at £90 odd. It is of course 2 discounted decoders. Given we are talking HM7000 decoders, and in addition to Dodge’s photo above, take a look in the HM | DCC forum where there is extensive discussion of the digital HST including its lights.

Surprised to see this Baz as I have 4 on pre-order from them and no notification - do they not let you know when they are filling a pre-order? Anyway, checking my card, they billed me for £131 last Saturday. That amount has me wondering as the 4-coach price is is £136 before postage and they are all on the same order. Will find out soon though.

There is not a lack of power from the Elite. Remember, HM | DCC, which is a step change in DCC capability, is only just over 12 months from initial release and, while generally functional with/without work around, is still subject to further development to reach full capability.

Thanks LT.

Do you still have the problem or now fixed (unclear from your reply)?

I have an original iPad Pro, now some years old, but the latest OS for it is iPadOS 16.7.7. Seems to me there is no 17 for iPad? Or do I have that wrong?

One thing to note here: TT:120 points are “streamline” points with a radius of R6 (compare with OO points which have a radius of R2). However, by adding the 1/4 R1 on the end of them, you are reducing the effective radius to less than R6. Consequently, you may have a little more difficulty traversing this composite than the point on its own.

Cut a straight into 2 half straights? Can’t see why not.

Just to say that Tech Support trying to avoid responsibility is not consistent with the experience of many other forum users, all the way to no quibble replacement of HM7000 decoders.

Have you emailed George via HM Support?

Yes, you can run the power car with a decoder and the dummy car without. The lights will not be directional in the dummy car. Assuming you are using a DC supply and the app, the only way to change them will be to physically turn the dummy car on the rails.
