RE: loft layout - mr bachmann - 03-04-2023
some rock castings , and the start of 'rocking' the quarry ...
thats me , dont think about it or plan ahead , then re-do it
RE: loft layout - mr bachmann - 03-04-2023
meanwhile decided to run the Big Boy but no go , all whistles , lights and bells , but no movement , then fault found flat/dead battery ... good old Athearn .
seen along side British Railways standard class 9F 2-10-0 (Hornby model) BR's big haulers - loved by engine men good steamers , smooth riders and fast - to stop
engine crews touching near 100 plus , BR put a 60 mph limit on the whole class (due to valve gear problem's)

Big Boy ... fitted new battery to the remote , better responce to the sound and lights but no movement to the drivers ,
last time run was on DCC , It is Athearn loco with hand set to enable Annolouge running , so any one reading please you can help ?
I'll get the test track and DCC controller and try a decoder re-set .

Did you consist this with another locomotive? If so, the motor would only respond to the consist address... (Simplest thing I could think of at the moment). Reset will fix that, but you'll be starting over with the settings.

Thanks for the reply , the loco was run alone but can’t remember if the address was changed
Will get the DCC out and re set the de-coder .
With Bachmann fitted dual decoders I notice the DC will only work if loco address is No 3 .
Meanwhile back to the layout , more rock face and tunnel entrance has been added to the quarry , photos to follow …
