Hi,thanks Kevin, that's what I thought,will track down a mate who has dcc,if the sound was a bit louder,that will do,again thanks to all😊😊

Hi again,this might be one for Kevin, will the aristocraft revolution change my cv in loco to increase volume etc,or do I need digital, or something else,thanks,peter.

Hi,thanks for the reply,I forgot about rcs,tony,will do some research,is the new aristocraft revolution reliable, as I only run 1or2 trains at once.cheers

Hi chaps,Kevin, thanks for the info,I thought the speed difference would be as you said,the aristocraft I use is the older version the base can be set for pulse or nomal DC,which suits me,which brings me to the question which is the best remote track power system,as this set is getting old,the new aristocraft  set in ozzie is 500.00 here,bit steep,plus the part needed for DC, not pulse,thanks all,cheers from ozzie

Hi,thanks Kevin for the reply,as I use track power,through aristocraft train engineer,do you know if there is a difference in speed  between the sound one,none sound,I was thinking with a bunker full of electronics,the speed would be the same,thanks again,peter.

Hi,I have a 2nd Gen with factory sound,is the only difference the sound board,do they both have factory speakers ,this Loco can pull more than the early model,thanks peter

Hi chaps I agree that the bachmann cars are better in the finer detail, hope more are made to add to my roster.

Hi there,a fellow Aussie,I'm in Melbourne ,I have to connies ,the drive gear,axle from bachmann works a treat,and once done it will do many a lap around your layout,I think they are available from parts dept,I got two about a month ago,fitted it,runs great,cheers Peter in ozzie

very nice locos,shipping 2014,does that mean maybe by xmas,we can have a pressi under the tree ::)cheers from peter in ozzie!!!!!

 :Dthat is a great article ,looks like a job for the cold days in Melbourne,aus,thanks,will get to work,!!!,while I'm here are there any tips for the k27plugs so that they are not hard to pull apart,thanks,Peter..

Well looks like some models,do have some niggles,I saw years ago on a site that some tender trucks had cracked,I have two connives that have done many hours around my tracks,only one has cracked a gear,replaced it a new axle,brass gear from bachmann,this is annoying,but it is mechanical ,and things go wrong,I have eight spectrum locos,five Annie's ,no problems,hope all goes well,Peter in aussie

Hi again,just an update on the gears,the connie gear is different to the anniversary one,better get new ones,at they are available for connive,cheers from aussie

Thanks for the reply bill,from what I can see the gear numbers have the first numbers I compared an anniversary to the connie,as I have an Annie gear here,will pull it off the motor frame and compare to connive,the number of the gear is:g813x-oayo1,thanks again bill,cheers from Aussie!

Hi all,this might be one for loco bill,or any with this question,are the main gear from worm of the motor the same on the 460 as the one in the connive,from what I can see on the parts list the have the same pert number,but the gear in the 460 is all in with motor in the parts list,I don't want to confuse anyone,any help is good,thanks peter

hi to all,i think i posted that these are back,but no response,say no more
