Understand that feeling however its all very new anyway to me so just another element of running models to embrace.🤔

RallyMatt, Yes you did and fingers crossed this will be the fix.

Chris, Thanks and it did help. The packs now also come with instructions.

I have purchased the 15V 4A power supply and will do as advised with bus and droppers. Also got the dcc clips to get me running and testing setup and configuration for now. What is nice is the clips come with instructions too.

Rallymatt, It does appear to be its software. I went through the link device process but its SKU is default SD999. Thankfully, 96RAF spotted this and led me to the profile required is SD038 in this thread under HM7000 forum area: "William Whitelaw issue with Next18 HM7000"

Thankyou 96RAF. Will try now tomorrow.

Yes, no fix or answer there.

I have a A4 Mallard so could swap with that which could work but a risk if something is blowing the chip.

No fix yet I'm afraid.

96RAF, I think so.

Hi, Purchased a TT120 A4 (William Whitelaw in a non HM7000 set). Purchased a HM7000 Next18 chip, and fitted. However, sound comes on but when it starts to go, it cuts out (like its a short or something as connection also gets lost to app). Worked fine on dc before and when I restore loco back with a blanking chip. Any ideas or issues encountered with this chip / loco combo please thst might help me? Cheers

Rallymatt, Thanks. It confused me a little has there was no expected void and it looks different to the speaker that comes with the decoder. Two levers depress down to make a connection on the motherboard and you can see tracks to an S1 and S2 pins on themotherboard. Proved it when I ran the loco up and there was sound.

Bought a Next18 decoder for William Whitelaw but I now have issues of loco cutting out.

Next18 decoder for WW but have issues Dcc clips 15v 4A power supply Conrod spanner Half and quarter straight track LH points

Hi all. So I purchased a William Whitelaw dc set. As my other two locos are hm7000 enabled i bought a next18 chip for it. Fitted chip and it moves slightly then cuts off and loses like bluetooth or power connectivity. Comes back on after a min or so, try to moves again and cuts out. It worked fine before and after removing chip and putting blanking chip in. Has this issue been witnessed before. Also the tender does have a sugarcube speaker fitted and host board has a 2023 date on it.

Thanks. I have purchased tbe 15V 4A pwr supply too.

Reconfiguring layout to improve shunting area.

Nice words and thoughts. I was one of the first to have The Easterner set and buildings etc. I sent it all back on feelings that I had made a huge mistake (loco was not running in reverse, etc). However with more information, content makers (Peachy et al) and HM7000 I returned and so glad I did. Looking forward to improving skill and gaining experience and what is ahead on the tracks.

Merry Christmas and who is running a TT loco tomorrow?

Thoughts?

So after great advice abd suggestions I have removed the dc power straight and will leave all dcc for now and for ease. Re-arranged the shunting yard and I think with another point to get a spur up in the left hand area will fill that gap area a bit. Thoughts you kind people?

Thankyou very much and I dont mind at all any help or suggestions to help me and others. I have a William Whitelaw without a dcc decoder so far out of three locos in TT120. For simplicity (as I do complex in OO) in TT I will just get a decoder for the A4 but did want Class 08s dcc too. Thanks all for the replies and suggestions. Most welcome.

Thankyou P-Henny. I thought I might be alright. If the points have clips can you see any issues as I now envisaging shorts as only just discovered I need clips.

Thanks Peachy. I do subscribe and know your channel well so will check that out. Thanks for the info.

I have a dcc feeder track section at rear and a dc feeder track closer in. Is there any reason why I cant run run one or the other? E.g. i have two locos with sound and one dc. Can i run them seperately with no issues if only one or the other straight is connected at a time?
