That's great Andy thanks very much... I dunno how you hit on the idea of playing with those particular CV settings, but I'm glad ya did! And no bung eh... HURRAH! 👍
You did ask and thought well, let’s have a look then. Surely it’ll be okay but, as I said not from the horses mouth, just in my opinion but, yeah, seems okay 👍
Thanks Andy, I will have ago at your recommendations. Keep up the great work. 👍
Yes, just bring the one I mention down to 60, all there how to do it, if unsure 👍
Well done thats brilliant well researchesmd great to know its not a problem with the generator or loco think ill get me one now thats fixed stunning model
@@andrewmeah3082 You’re welcome and a beautiful turnout, pardon the pun 😂
Great advice. I had the same problem as you and this fixed it for me too.
@@steved5356 Oh brilliant. That is great to here Steve👍👍👍
I like to see someone opening this model and inspect how it works.
I’m sure somebody will but, I won’t be, unless there’s an issue. Have opened up the tender on other reviews when sound decoders and speakers need fitting but, as this is all self contained didn’t need to. I don’t take the locomotive base plates off usually though, just the tenders, again, unless there’s an issue. 🙏
Many thanks Love your Videos
@@simonsimpsonuk Simon, that means so much and we’re all so fortunate to share our own unique gifts together, in our own unique ways. If people ask me, ‘How do see this hobby, serious or fun?’ my reply is always, it’s seriously fun 🌞
Thanks for this, good to know. Noticed after initial running-in chimney had "bridged" and cleared it with a tissue.
As for the bung, first removal saw it spring out of my grip and vanish somewhere on the floor (found it eventually), so hoping I get used to it 😊. Might have been nice if they included a spare bung in the bag of bits but haven't seen one.
Yes indeed but, alas no spare bungs 😂 hope the fix sorts it for ya 👍
Thanks
Wow, all this is so very much appreciated. Big hugs, love and best wishes, Andy 🙏
Good video thx will alter mine tomorrow
@@stephenbromley2302 👍 sorted mine Stephen
Interesting video , how many circuits of your layout will it do in one top up of water ? Cheers.......Peter
Hi Peter, It works out about 5mins of good steam generation for every 1ml added. Hope this helps 👍 Andy
Hi Andy, are you able to provide a list of Hornby CV's for the Scotsman with the steam generator's my brother and I have had a similar problem and your thoughtful and helpful video for us all is to be commended. It is a shame that there does not appear to be any other mention of this fix on the internet or Hornby's own web site, kudos to you👏👏. Your video suggests Hornby recommended the CV changes you presented did they define what CV211 and CV212 control?
@@davespratt9533 Hi Dave, Hornby indeed recommended these when I explained the issues of bridging, bubbling up, flooding, call it what you will, highlighted in my review video before this one and, in part, on here as well. What I wrote down, as instructed, I’ve just passed on and as I tried it on my own model, in real time, whilst filming and which has been successful by altering just one, down by 5 as shown. There was something mentioned about chuff rate and in increments of 5 on each, to see what happens or failing that, a complete reset but, I was taking down specifics, not exact details. The full CV list is titled within the app on screen when you refresh it, as shown. That’s as much as I know and hope this helps👍
@@modeloco Thanks Andy, my brother and I appreciate the time you have taken to reply. Thanks for the pointer on the CV list and explanation. Keep up the great videos and work. ⭐⭐
Hi Andy I have a similar situation on my P2 will this work with the CVs on this model ? Cheers Carl
Hi Carl, Thanks for getting in touch. My P2 is fine and sorry to hear. The fix is only for Flying Scotsman so, get in touch with Hornby. I did read one guy cured his P2 by going on to using filtered water. Have you tried that? Regards, Andy.
@@modeloco cheers Andy I’ll try that 👍
Took cv 211 down to 60 still got that film appear tried 58 then 57 changed 212 to 45 so reset and installed the sound profile will have to play around again when I have more time
@@stephenbromley2302 Sorry to hear that Stephen. If not it’ll be a return for tweaking but, you can always call Hornby for any additional advice beforehand 🤞
Does steam come out of the smoke stack?
Hope you’ve seen my videos before this and full reviews on the Scotsman and P2 but, yes on all the Hornby steam Generator models the smoke comes out of the chimney/exhaust. Hope this helps 👍
@@modeloco so it is not a correct model then?
@@TC-qd1zw What’s your issue?
@@modeloco I do not like things which are not true or correct. You can believe anything you want, but please do not mislead people. The truth is the only way. So I will not bother you blog ever again.
If I’m misleading myself or others then you really need to say why. I really don’t mind if I’ve unintentionally said something wrong. I need to know what your issue is?
