![]() ![]() I recall that I had to play around with the BEMF settings on them to get the E4s to work properly.īy the way has anybody else noted that something Jack the Fitter needs to attend to is the whistle. The E4s run nicely with the Bachmann (actually Zimo) decoders, but we'll have to wait and see how well the CT Elektronik decoders work in the ABs. I was hoping the Bachmann 36-568 decoder could be persuaded to fit into the AB, possibly with slightly shortened pins, but in view of yours and others' findings, I have just spent a pleasant half hour swapping two 6-pin CT Elektronik DCX75 decoders out of my two Bachmann E4 0-6-2T locomotives, replacing them with the Bachmann decoders I had intended to fit in the ABs when they arrived (not here yet, for me!). Looks like I am placing another order for the gaugemaster chip! Well I can confirm we have another chip that doesn't fit! Well for some reason late on a Friday night I changed my mind and went to put a Bachman 6 pin chip in the loco. ![]() in fact I am over the moon by the little loco. Well I can confirm that Katie has made her way from the uk to Australia. A sudden loss of altitude of approximately four feet which was about two feet less than her (and Kevin's) earlier flight but this time without the benefit of Hattons copious airbags.Īmazingly Katie suffered no ill effects whatsoever, although it could explain why she is a full scale nine inches shorter than what a prototype 16 inch Barclay is. It was the sound of the very end of Katie's second flying lesson of the day. That was the second dull thud I'd heard that day. The result of me forgetting to fit a buffer stop. If you can stick watching the vid to the very end you will hear a dull thud. Well all went well until the very end of the recording. Now it's fair to say that I'm not a fan of unboxing vids In fact I hate the bl**dy things but for some inextricable reason, maybe something akin to a moth having a death with to singe itself in a flame? I just had to have a go. Now I'm something of a forgetful type so a few hours later whilst sitting in a hospital waiting room, I remembered the events of the morning, thought to myself, I must retrieve that parcel from my (recently emptied) bin and then maybe have a go at recording one of those unboxing videos. A few seconds later despite the bin being some fifteen yards distant, around a right angle bend, with me being upstairs and having my lug holes filled with the suds of Imperial Leather, the sound of a dull thud confirmed the postie had successfully completed his task. "Drop the parcel in my (recently emptied) blue top bin" I requested. Shouting through my open bathroom window, postie communication was established and confirmation of no signature required to complete delivery. Cain would have us believe, my postie only ever knocks once. Yes it was the postie but unlike James M. There I was working up a good lather, and musing over how I'd read about folk having difficulty unpacking their Barks, struggling to fit decoders and that maybe those unboxing videos weren't such a bad idea after all, when there comes a knocking on the door. I was waiting for my AB's to turn up Friday last and decided to heed Jenny K's advice given earlier up the thread so rather that doing my usual business I forewent my early sit on the throne and made do with a quick jump in the shower.
