Rallymatt Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 (edited) Looking at pic, I would imagine fitting a PB would require a little more disassembly. Taking the motor cover off; section with the fan mounted on as it is probably too close fitting to allow the PB fly lead to sit on top and the body go back on. Appears to only be 4 screws that are easily accessible, so not too difficult. The Guards area does look to have some space but if it’s a bit tight for a PB, there is a way to make the PB more ‘size adaptable’ for tighter spaces, I’ll pop a post up over weekend 😁 Edited March 2 by Rallymatt Spilling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will take the power car apart and take a side on pic. You maybe right though.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMD Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 @Dodge1965 and @RallymattThanks for the info - if they are indeed now designing the new releases with the full HM7000 experience in mind (BT, Sound and PB) I think that's a really good sign of integrated thinking. We can then hopefully assume on this being replicated in future releases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Allen Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 The Mk3 coaches have arrived. Looks like the decoder in the dummy car has died, no lights or sound and not connected in app... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rallymatt Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 Coaches look great Tim. Just check the decoder I fully seated into the socket and the pick ups on the Dummy Power Car are contacting ok. Actual decoder failures are quite rare, but they can happen. 😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMD Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 Wow - @Tim Allen - that looks awesome. Love the close coupling. And thanks for showing a comparative length photo. Have a feeling I may have left some of my scenery clearances a little tight for that length. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cable is plenty long enough to reach connection. Edited March 2 by Dodge1965 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This'll be the 3rd failure for the decoders. 1st one burnt out (literally melted), Blink Bonny just stopped on a straight and now this one today. It was working perfectly with the reds and engine sounds but then I noticed lights were off. I'll contact customer services (again). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might be worth checking power supplies etc to prevent any further damages. So many failures seems more than a coincidence and yet all the HM DCC decoders currently were from same batch.

Rallymatt Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 @Dodge1965, thanks for the pic showing space for a PB if wanted and looks so much better with people. Which range are they from? I must do some crew in my locos 😁 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
