Hi. Just wondering how your new build is going?
Fantastic video, many thanks
I was really bummed out, I picked up a full set of the NMT on eBay with these extra coaches made by the same person I believe, but the day of posting them the seller dropped two of the coaches onto the kitchen floor & they were badly damaged so I had to have a refund & it escaped my grasp :(
Thanks for a great video, it now means I can convert my Eurostar and not have to leave it in its box.
when will this command station be in stock?
13:57 what value resistor did you use?
Hi Geoff, I received my Class 28 today, lovely loco, but like you and so many others it just refuses to run smoothly, everything is intermittent, sound works then cuts out, lights work then go out, motor starts to run then stops, absolute nightmare of a loco, I bought mine over a year since your post so obviously nothing has changed at Rapido, they have had a year to fix the problems but have failed to do so unless mine is old stock. I've just switched over to N gauge and I'm wondering if I've made a mistake, this is the second loco in less than a week that I shall have to send back, I bought a very expensive Graham Farish 2-car DMU with sound at over £300 and that arrived with the front axle on one of the bogies broken off, I've never had any problems with 00 or 009 locos until now, I'm hoping I don't regret swapping to N but I am starting to get a bit concerned about the lack of quality control on the first 2 locos I've bought!
hi , It don't look good for the hobby. they are trying to pack so many features and detail into the loco that they forget the basic's ie it needs to run and work . the problem is not just n gauge but oo as well. Rapido where very quick to fix mine but its still not the best runner regards Geoff
@@flinthillsmodelrailway Hi Geoff, just got my new Graham Farish DMU back, front axle refitted but now loco refuses to run, sound works well but absolutely no movement from loco and directional lights on one car do not work, this loco cost over £360, its crazy, these things are not fit for purpose, where is the quality control. I think I might cut my losses and give up on N gauge, 2 locos in two weeks and nothing works, ridiculous. I built a 009 layout and all my dcc sound locos worked fine straight from the box and they run on basically N gauge track, I think you are right the manufacturers of N and 00 seem to be packing in so many extra functions that they have lost sight of the fact that these locos also need to run. Cheers Dave
Two questions please. 1- is it neccesary to perform that Switch from DR5000 to YD7001 ?? 2/- will it be still recognized by ITRAIN ??
hi No its not necessary to do the conversion and it still will be recognised by ITrain . The advantage i have found in updating to YD7001 is much Better Communications between Itrain and supported software, Geoff
@@flinthillsmodelrailway Hi All, I just upgraded today...you don't need passcodes anymore and everything seems smoother...I am also a user of itrain. I needed to change my com port (obviously) but also found that the YD upgrade did not keep my S88 set up. I needed to re-create the S88 in the configuration page of the YD...only took a few seconds but something important to note if you use S88....Best wishes
hi geoff great how to fit the decoders in the class 800 and this has come in very handy as i have a gwr set on order and i will be dcc chipping mine. great video again mate hope to see you soon at a exhibition. hope you and the family are all well. peter
hi Mate , all good here thanks , Been very very busy , glad the 800 video was good , I'll be at the key model world on saturday
Hi Geoff. You're right about your tools sounding as though we're at the dentist! I made the mistake of buying several locos from the Masterpiece range of Graham Farish models, leaving me (as you have had to do) to convert them if I want to run them on DCC. Thankfully, my Class 47 is a later(?) model and is DCC ready. Needless to say, I won't buy any more analogue models. That's a nice little test circuit board you have there; may we have details, please? There is considerable opinion on running DCC locos in DC mode and I am very wary of this; would you please either reply or make (a short?) video on this issue as others may have the same concern.
Hi Geoff. Thanks for the heads-up on fitting sound to this model. I too will probably go with sound on the driving car only. I made a note of how you did this for the GWR 800 IET - though I have yet to try this modification. Fingers crossed on both models!
Hi Geoff. I presume you checked that the radiator was level before setting up the laser? A very neat job of making the baseboards - well done. Nice back garden, by the way.
At last a freindly point motor
The hardest part for me was getting the boggies back in and the pickups touching the frame, took me about 1/2 an hour. Thanks for a great video worked a treat.
lovely job, thank you
Hi Geoff, my two azumas already have directional lighting on DC, do I need to install the head and tail light decoder for dcc?
Hi. I would say yes to make them DCC working which will allow you to turn them on and off via the decoder
Geoff just come across your class 28 comments. Any further update? I too have had issues. Mine is the one identified in your earlier video which is that the contacts are adrift on the front bogie causing intermittent running particularly over points. This seems a poor design to me. It has already been back Rapido once. They presumably twisted these down and sent it back as it worked for a short spell of time before having the same problem start again. I am currently running it with two wooden shims jammed in to force the contact foil down but this isnt a permanent solution. Rapido are now not responding to me. I am thinking of resolving the issue by lightly soldering the foil to the contact but this is a bit drastic.
Hello, where can i buy the Class 800 dcc sound file?
Hi Geoff! Great bit of carpentry skill there! A very neat and tidy job you've made with the baseboards! I'm very impressed at how straight the walls of your house are - mine are all over the place! Lol! All the best, Ian.
Hi Geoff excellent channel, which I recently came across and enjoyed watching all your content, FH 1 was a very impressive test layout ! Looking forward to following your progress as well, especially your DCC implementation as I also want to use as I start my build. Great content.
Hello Geoff - just found your channel via @Chris-BognorRegis and have subscribed - that installation was pretty much perfect - well done. Looks like you have loads of scope there so am looking forward to seeing how you progress. Regards Steve
Great work on the board. Looks like a solid build. I'm doing a build atm but nowhere near your progress 😂... Hats off to you 🎉
Is it possible to covert this model from DC to DCC sound ?
Looking forward to watching in . I’d only say one I wouldn’t recommend putting the outside track too near the wall , so restricting I did this and unfortunately cannot change it much to my regret anyways all the best in your build regards Fred 😊
Well, that was a great talk and walk through. Nice work on the boards and see how it is coming on. Nice design and arrangement planning!
I love a layout build progression series, you've earnt yourself a new subscriber!
Hi Geoff, that looks awesome and you seem to know your way around power tools. Great work, following as always 👏🏻👏🏻..Chris
Great work with the baseboards, I loved the way you designed them to fit together and slot in against the walls. Keep up the great work Allan
Hi I came to your stand No.22 I voted for you I was the person with the west ham body warmer with my dad and brother I hope you win the little trophy! Good model
It's great when it all comes together. Great woodworking skills as well. Looking forward to the next installment atb Andy
Good to see the baseboards going in Geoff. It is good when you can lay that 1:1 print of the track plan down and see how it is going to look, and where points actually sit on the baseboard. All looking go so far. Stephen
Hi Geoff - excellent bit of carpentry there !! Certainly going to be a much bigger layout than FH 1. Looking forward to seeing the next video. Cheers Euan
What size wood you use for the baseboard top
Nice work!
My goodness Geoff was it really three years ago you put your first video on here. Time flies. Really glad Flint Hills 1 which I think looks great has found its place on the exhibition scene. I might get to see it one day perhaps. Really enjoyed this latest update and your home layout is looking very impressive. Must admit in this video is the part I enjoy most building the staging and showing the plan of the layout. Regards Chris
Solid woodwork and great progress Geoff..
Nice work Geoff 👍 cheers al
Hi Geoff, nice work so far mate, looking forward to more. Sadly I can’t make the Basildon Model Railway Show as it’s fallen on one of my golfing Saturdays. Cheers for now, John
It's always fun to use a Lazer!😁🫵✌️
i hope you like the laser support ie a board on a rad lol . thanks for watching Geoff
@@flinthillsmodelrailway 😁🫵👍✌️
Excellent video! This should take all the mystery out of the DCC Eurostar conversion for us all. Thanks!!!
I am planning to use these on my new layout for my yard, and I am going to subscribe to your channel
I am doing HO layout in Canada
Hi. I’m starting to install these and the MP5 on the new layout that I’m building
Hi Geoff! Great to meet you at GETS on Saturday! Loving the plans for FH2, and will be following along with interest! All the best, Ian.
Thanks Ian. Yes was great to meet you in person. See the person behind the voice. Keep up the great work on your channel.
Hi Geoff, wow this is very exciting! Really looking forward to following along with the build! All the best Geoff
Hi Geoff. Thanks for reply. Love the work you are doing in both OO and N gauge
Thank you so much for your videos. You explain everything so well and make it all so easy to follow. I cant wait to see the develpment of Flint Hills 2. Keep up the amazing work !! 😀😀
That’s very kind of you. I hope the content keeps you interested. Geoff
Hi Geoff, looks very interesting, following all the way.. All the best, Chris
Great video. Thanks for taking the time to go into detail.
Glad it was helpful! Geoff
Hi, Interesting plans and a nice walkthrough of it all. Can't fault the LoDi system, I have just started to use it as I was torn between Yamorc and LoDi. Would of been cheaper going yamorc as I still have loads of Digikeijs items but oh well. Looking forward to seeing the layout progress. Cheers
hi Michael , yes the Lodi system looks great and I see James at DCC train automation is putting some great content out . i'll keep an eye out to see how you progress with that as well - Geoff
Hi Geoff, could it have been a dry joint rather than a duff component? A good tip for checking joints is to take a photo and then expand the photo to maximum. Surprising what this shows up. Brian Essex Thameside in N
Very good point. I’ve had the problem before and tested a previous chip at work on a scope and could see it was open circuit. I just never did a video until I came across the same problem again.
Hi Geoff great video and good to see you in action at Shenfield. Will see you at Basildon or before. Brian Essex Thameside in N
Are you going to GETS on Saturday? If so you Saturday
Liking the new track plan Geoff. Looking forward to watching the paper plan come to fruition. Hopefully see you Saturday ! Cheers Euan
thanks Euan - see you Saturday
