Hi Chaps!

Is it possible to turn down the sound on a TTS sound loco using cv's? If so, how do I do it? I have a very sensitive hearing aid and the train room is not that big. Gives me a bad head.

Many Thanks

BILL.

Hi Chaps.

It's back. Got it yesterday. Wirers between the tender and loco had parted inside the insulation ( just as I thought). They did it under warranty even though it is two years old. GOOD OLD HORNBY!
Thanks to all who helped me sort it.
My Best Regards To you All

Hi Chaps! Update. Got an email from Hornby yesterday. The guy asked me if I'd tried resetting the CV to 8 to reset the decoder. I told him no I dont do CVs. About an hour later I got an email from Hornby Hobies that my parcel would arrive on Monday? Then I got an email this afternoon from Hornby Tec...

Hi Chaps!

Thanks a million Flashbang for all the info and to RAF96 and Bigmet for all your help. Will try to parcel it up this affy and get it away.

I'll let you know on the outcome in due course.

With My Very Best Regards

Hi Chaps!

Got a Ticket number from Hornby. WHAT NOW?

BILL.

Hi Chaps! Thanks for that FLashbang. Sent an email to Hornby repair department. Tried the functions and the sound is working so there is life in it. It may be picking up power for the sound from the tender pickups. I personaly think that there is a fracture in one of the wires between the loco and t...

Hi Chaps.

Just an update.
Hattons tell me I purchased it in November 2018 not 2019 so the warranty is well out of date. They suggest trying Hornby but I'm not going to waste my time. I'll have a bit of a fiddle around.

With Best regards
BILL.

Thanks Chaps.
I don't have the receipt any longer so that one in a no go. I have sent a brief emale to Hattons product support team and we'll see what respone I get eventualy.

Yours With Best Regards

Hi Chaps!

Just poked around. Removed the tender plug and replaced it. Now it doesn't run at all. I checked the Hornby website about returns but it only seems to apply to any product purchased from their website.

Ah well!!

Bill.

Hi Chaps! Many thanks for your input. I have had it nearly a year so I doubt if Hornby will replace it. Might try though. Just one question to ask. Is the WHITE plug to the tender an actual plug that will uncouple? Having just said that I think Roger (JR) has answered that question. I'll go up to th...

Hi Chaps! Hornby Flying Scotsman TTS Sound. Running as normal one day then the next refused to go. Gave it a push and off it went then it stoped. Pushed again and it went, and so on. Touched my screwdriver gently on the wires connected to the tender and off it went. After a closer look I have come t...

Hi Just done a Class 40 Lima (15-9-20) no prob. Two wires for trailing bogie. One soldered to the LEFT BRUSH pick up and one to the RIGHT BRUSH pickup. The one from the front bogy, soldered to the LEFT BRUSH pick up should be soldered with the one which was soldered to the LEFT BRUSH and then to the...
