Evening all. I'm having some issues with my TTS Mallard (R3395TTS) which I had yesterday. Sometimes when I bring it to a stop I am unable to get it started again for a while, and any sounds which are currently running stay on and won't switch off, and any new sounds I try and play won't start. Is this an issue with my loco and I should send it back to the shop I had it from, or am I doing something wrong? I'm using a Hornby Select with firmware 1.5 if that helps. I don't think it's an issue with the controller because it the Somerset Belle it came with is running with no issues at all. Thanks for any advice, I'm pretty new to the hobby as a whole and only got the digital stuff yesterday

Thanks for all the info everyone. Managed to get a rake of the older teak ones for £20 online. Maybe one day I'll replace them with some of the super detail ones but for now I just wanted to get something on my track for it to pull that's not some red BR coaches from my Night Mail Express set I had in the early 90s

Great, been looking at the teak finish ones on ebay, will go ahead and buy some. Thanks a lot

Afternoon all. My wife and daughter have just bought me the Somerset Belle DCC set marking my first venture into the world of digital railways, so to go with it I bought myself the TTS Mallard so I had a 2nd train to run until I can get my old locos converted. I'm struggling to find out what coaches are the correct ones though, am I right I thinking that the Gresley Teak Coaches are correct for her in the classic LNER garter blue livery?

Brilliant, that was exactly the issue. Thank you

Afternoon all. I had the Night Mail Express set when I was a kid (early 90s) although for most of that time it's been in its box in a cupboard, but now my daughter has started showing an interest in Thomas on TV I decided to get it out and set it up on my dining room table however I can't get it running. The other trains I have run without a problem so I know there's no issue with the track or power supply, but when I try and run the mail train (I believe it's a Coronation Class - City of Nottingham) the motor spins but there is no movement. I've opened it up and had a look and if I move a wheel myself then all the gears and other wheels will turn, but for some reason the motor isn't turning them. Just wondering if anyone has any advice on fixing this issue. It's a tender driven ringfield motor if that helps
