A closer look at the Auscision NR class: DCC fitting and lighting features
35 wagons! Not bad I must say
Great footage, please could you make the other making trains videos?
Finally, if you don't correctly align the manetic poles of the couplers, they will repel. You have to be sure to place them in the correct orientation on adjacent coaches.
Also, I have fitted the magnetic couplers, which were in the package and, again, no problems. Then again, I am working with only the set of these coaches together.
If you connect the DVT unit, the noise will go away. You do have to have a decoder installed. Then everything is fine. I have a full set of these and, happily for me, have not had any problems yet. Thanks for a very useful review!!
The DVT is only in the Irish variants. In England these were not push-pull sets, and have no cab car.
Does change in gradient make the uncoupling worse or is it curve and gradient or just curve? Nice solution.
Anything that would make the gangways closer geometrically will cause issues with coaches which are overly close coupled. A constant gradient won't make any difference, but the vertical curve at the bottom of a gradient is one of the places where problems arise -- as one coach is on a steeper gradient than the next, the tops of the gangways are closer together than the bottoms. Superelevation is also a consideration, as the top of the gangways are following a slightly narrower radius (and will be closer together) than the bottoms of the gangways.
Beautiful scenery!
Great video on these coaches I have some nse mk2s ran them on dc no noise, now I’ve converted to dcc I have that awful buzzing sound. Did accurascale offer any solution to fix the noise? I fear I will have to send mine back. One has been back already blown lighting board took them 4 months to fix it!
They didn't offer a solution, no. I did identify that it was specific to ABC in my case. Are you also using ABC? If so, then you might also find it ABC specific. If not, then perhaps there's something that can be done on the DCC command station side?
I’m using a roco z21 system I’m new to dcc so I’m not entirely sure luckily I can only hear it when I’m close up
Need more close up view on things
Don't suppose you have a layout plan showing where you have the breaks in track ie the actual block layout?
A wonderful video, thank you! It was lovely to meet you at the show. Wasn't it an absolutely fabulous weekend of railway goodness!! 🚂🚃🚃
This video shows some of the best layouts in the country!! Well seen and well done!!
Not often modelled but pre motorways, trains where the key transport link but only fully used on week ends. Holidays in summer, sports events year round, shopping at Christmas. Hence there where storage sidings empty at weekends, full during the week, and vandalism was rare.
Not UK but Europe the king of trains is the VOSE and is in the 2020's a 18 carriage train, 12 sleeper, 3 dinner cars, bar car, and 2 staff sleeper/storage cars. Basic 3 train sets, each 4 sleeper + dinner + 2 crew car/baggage as was the original service combo. The UK train is 9 carriages
Very good layouts, thanks for sharing.
My husband had planned to go with chums to Warley last year but the trip fell through. He was very disappointed so I decided to surprise him (and me, taking one for the team) with a trip to the Warley show (and boy, was he surprised!). I was so pleased I did, especially after hearing it was the last one - and, most importantly, he loved his weekend. 🚂🚃🚃
The mk2 coaches could do with a few fare dodging passengers 🙂
Really enjoyed this video.
Thank you, i learned a lot of stuff, very well explained, thanks for sharing.
Totally agree with you mate. For me, and my view is equally as valid as anyone else's view, is Accurascale is like an exclusive, expensive, gentleman's club - something I'm absolutely not interested in 👍
Красивый кот британец наверное
Don't use super-glue direct from the bottle, you have no control, pop some on a piece of card and use something, paper-clip, length of rod etc., to apply it. Much safer.
A CATastrophe!
Your cat is gorgeous. Thank goodness my dog does not get on my layout like your cat LOL
I have 4 natural disasters myself 😊
That was too closely spaced for freedom of movement. After all, if it was deliberate then the coaches would be on the floor!
I have come in in the morning to find stuff on the floor (and dangling like strings of sausages off the side of the layout, too) but never with the culprit still present and in view...
Cat-astrophe! "Just looking Dad..." (sorry, not sorry! 🐾😉). Gorgeous cat!
11/10 perfect video. Those pantograph masts looks extra chewable.
That ... was a concern. The moment I put a signal on my childhood layout it got immediately chewed into a pretzel. However, these have been up a few months now and have escaped any damage (either accidental or deliberate), so I should be able to get away with them.
wherever you are they want to be in the thick of it.
Fantastic. You managed to summarize almost everything I know about coaching formations in a single easy to understand video, and added a couple of hints I didn't. I look forward to the next episode in the series.
I thought, when I bought my 5 car set, i wouldn't worry about the full 14 car train. However, I did, Hattons had the cars on special and i preordered the NDM and when that arrived completed my APT. I had to swap one of the new APT couplers with the old APT. The upshot is it ran well so you are right a full APT needs 2 NDMs. Good video. Cheers
Love the close couple on those. I fitted the magnetic ones to mine.
7:22 you can get a stop collar that attaches to the drill bit to set the depth of the hole
I must complement the design of the layout ‘Rolvenden’. It looks like the sort of heritage railway that I might well visit on my next trip away.
Great layouts 👍🏼Particularly liked Rolvenden, that is only about 45 minutes from me 😀
great film of some brilliant layouts thank you
Some fare dodging passengers would be good too 😊
Great exhibition video - well done!
Halland is my layout, wish I had known would of had a good chat with you
Apparently you had a chat with my wife though, as she mentioned talking to you about Halland :)
@DongitsModelRailway I talk to everyone me, my wife also talked to lots as well
@DongitsModelRailway I'm at Keighley club open day tomorrow with my other layout Byway MPD
Looks like fun👍🏻
Will they work with magnetic couplings from Westhill Wagon Works?

@3:40 think you got it. Own advice : "Let sleeping dogs lie" anyway thumbs
Never seen these couplings before -does anyone use them?
Several members at my local model railway club use these couplers within rakes of coaches. I have lots of coaches already fitted with them. They are also recommended by Keen Systems as the alternative coupler for their close coupling system. The buckeye Keen supply with their kits does not actually uncouple on the layout at all -- If you want that feature this is the coupler they recommend.
I'm going to pipe up at a slight error regarding classes and their titles in the given periods, as well as some additional information others might find useful or interesting. Second class was abolished by the Midland Railway in 1875, with their Third class stock being scrapped and Second and Third being effectively merged to the effect of Second class treatment, with Third class fare prices under the Third class title. The reasons for retaining Third as a title rather than abolishing it outright and reducing the Second class fares is because, under parliamentary law, railways had to provide a minimum service at a reasonable cost (termed "parli trains" in railway lore) under the Railway Regulation Act 1844, hence why at the turn of the century you had First and Third, but no Second. Other railways followed suit, despite their annoyance, since they risked losing traffic to the better yet cheaper competing service the Midland provided. Since the MR's neighbours were doing it, other railway neighbours had to do so as well to keep up with the former as a result. Rinse and repeat, with the last of "Second class" being abolished just after the turn of the century. I'm not familiar with boat trains and their quirks, but it would make sense that Second was retained exclusively on boat trains for the purpose of maintaining the classist divide for the sake of through fares to Europe, though in railway terms I would imagine Third and Second were treated with similarly fitted out coaching stock for the sake of simplicity and maintaining a good public image. I should also note that "Third" was renamed to "Second" in 1956 (according to everyone's favourite source of knowledge Wikipedia, and since I don't know better I'm sticking to that).
Yes, back in the early days there were indeed three distinct classes even for internal travel. I probably should have mentioned I was talking about Grouping railways and later in this -- there's so much going on pre-grouping I couldn't possibly cover it all in such a short video. In the Grouping era and beyond, the only reference I can find to second class is in relation to boat trains where it was required for through ticketing. BR built 15 Mk1 "Boat Second" coaches. They were open saloons with 42 seats in a 2+1 layout, similar to First Opens. They were reclassified as First Opens later on.
Very nice work 👍🏻
Intresting video, but i must admit i just run whatever i want. Most of mine are MK1, but in general, as long as the coaches look the same, then im not really fussed. I juat enjoy running the trains and watch them go round the layout.
The issue is the roco coupler - use the supplied options!
Hi, very interesting. I'm badly in need of some mk2s in late 70s early 80s condition but don't really know what that would be. I've looked at these but bypassed them due to cost. However I was very interested in the whining noise, does your block detector use AC? Sounds like the charging circuit is not properly protected against stray AC or RF??
Late 1970s - Early 1980s condition would be Blue/Grey with 'Inter-City' branding. As to which variant of Mk2 you need, that depends where you are modelling. Different versions of Mk2 went to different places. The block detector does not inject anything into the track at all, they are just coils around the block wire making a transformer, and it detects the presence of anything which draws current from the DCC signal. It's definitely the presence of ABC which is causing the noise.
@@DongitsModelRailway Hi, thanks for the reply. I'm here in the south of the UK, routes of interest are Portsmouth, Brighton and Reading. Got you on the detectors. But that makes this a complete mystery then as if as described they should be completely passive???
That's because it's not the block detectors doing it -- it's the ABC modules. They change the amplitude of the DCC in one direction only. That's a relatively widely used and fully published standard though.
They'd go nicely with my derailing Accurascale Deltic!
There,s No highlight, very poor range
