Just uploading my video on YT of the Blue Yellow HST. I initially couldn't link device (it defaulted straight to reset device) and when I tried the reset hacks, nothing worked. In the end I had to remove body and remove decoder and refit it. Upon refitting the body, a black wire along the side could get snagged so I included the precaution near the end of video as a still image. Loco sounds great by the way! 🤩
Yes - it was doing back in November but I thought it was my app / phone. Its doing the same on NCE Powercab now so its loco and not app or dcc control or track, etc.
So I have confirmed today my Blink Bonney is shorting the layout out on HM7000 app and via DCC and my NCE Powercab setup. I really am trying to be positive but:
Mallard still with Hornby
William Whitelaw had its Next 18 decoder replaced
Blink Bonney similar issue.
All three locos I bought have had issues or problems - is it me? Am I too rough or doing something wrong because surely I cannot be this unlucky??
Re: Blink Bonney - let Hornby know. Suspect it will have to be returned, etc.
Good ideas again. I am after something as been using the plastic cases they come in. However, there exsists a risk of over handling locos when using these so need something easier and softer.
Thanks Dodge.
Did I see somewhere on the forum some card boxes somewhere designed for TT??
Enjoyed the chat format and your intros into the pastime. Already looking forward to the next one now the intros have been done and Ted has been introduced!
I had a wonderful gift in the form of a prize from @Peachy of a TMC weathered Cecilia Pullman Coach. How awesome is that as a named winner out of a hat! Uploaded content on YT about it! Thanks again Chris!!
Dont know. Sent it off after trying a few derailing fixes but still doing it so sent it to Hornby. If it comes back repaired I might break it up so will let you know. They quoted 28 days but it might be quicker.
Dodge - if you are willing to wait the outcome of my Mallard repair, etc, I might be breaking that up to help? Can you wait for up to a month for a Hornby decision on mine? If it come back repaired, I might be able to help, etc?
I ordered HST Executive on Friday anticipating that with all the positive reviews, stock will go quick.
Double points announced Friday afternoon so lost out on that deal (doh & boo).🥳
Thanks for confirming this both of you. I couldnt see anything electrically but again, low experience levels so thought I better ask before cooking a loco, etc.
Cheers again.
