I've found my post, and it looks like you have posted your list. and you did add a clause about the Colas one. Thanks
 
2 ews versions 66135 66068
2 freighliner versions. 66610 66529
2 GBRF versions 66701 66705 iirc
1 black version
1 Schenker version
1 direct rail services
1 Malcolm logistics
Other 5. are German (Hgk, hhp, etc etc ,I have only found/seen hgk ones)

He will come out in the next wash at 90° and a fast spin. Who wouldn't? :D

Incidentally, I'm sure it isn't only Britain and Germany that run 66s, shouldn't there be some other liveries from other countries?
 
Canadian??

I have a very sad looking Malcolm Logistics model here..

It was left out in the rain.. Very heavily rust-stained wheels. Still smells a little 'damp' in the box, and I think it might have germinated! At least on a small scale (appropriately)..
:eek::sweating::speechless::rolleyes::rolleyes:

They're all over the place in Europe in various guises. I guess Aristo didn't want to risk doing too many variants for such a small market, and also strictly speaking there should be differences in the lighting clusters and other details.
 
Hi all. I have just acquired a Freightliner liveried version, in as new, boxed condition. Powered it up this evening, runs fine and the smoke unit works as it should. The chap I got it off wasn't sure but thought it was sound fitted...I have looked and can't see an additional soundchip board, I presume something like an ESU XL would be fitted? This was an impulse purchase and I don't think it's for me...7mm is big enough! Looking for £430 plus postage, I'm in Northumberland if anyone wanted to collect.

Regards,

Lee.

Apologies, I only caught on to this thread yesterday and didn't even realise there was a separate for sale section. Thanks for the warm welcome.

theres also a newbies thread , please introduce yourself in there
 
Here`s the list from my research, I will add pics later

A23200 Black unpainted version
A23201 EWS livery 66135 (66/0)
A23202 Freightliner 66610( (66/6)
A23203 HGK German
A23204 Malcolm Logistics 66405 (66/4)
A23205 GBRf Plain livery 66701 (66/7)
A23206 ERS ... Netherlands
A23207 DLC .....Belgium
A23208 RAIL4CHEM Covers most of Europe
A23209 RAILION pre Schenker Dutch and German
A23210 Heavy Haul Power ..German
A23211 Freightliner 66529 (66/5)
A23212 GBRf flag livery 66705 (66/7)
A23213 EWS 66068 (66/0)
A23214 Direct Rail Services (Compass Livery) 66407 (66/4)
A23215 DB Schenker 66152 (66/0)

Only Non UK Issue I have seen is the HGK one not forgetting the DB Schenker one which covers both , numbers in brackets are the build codes

I think the lighting for each loco is different as its on a separately programmed chip specifically done to the loco and livery iirc
 
Yes but the PIC chip didn't react well once I'd fitted a decoder (lights flickering and coming on in wrong direction etc.). I've bypassed the chip and I drive all the lights from the decoder via a custom resistor board. I had to reverse the polarity of the LED head/tail lights to better suit the common positive of the decoder. I wrote this all up somewhere ages ago and posted it on here (or more likely the previous GSM forum).

I did see a post somewhere about that, but from the factory its all pre programmed was what I meant, I would be interested to read that actually, if you come accross it
 
Looks like I sent a copy of my notes to PhilP back in 2013, so I must have the doc somewhere. I'll dig it out when I get home.
 
Found my notes recovered from old forum posts, attached here. Reading through them, I'd probably use higher value resistors than those shown.

Thanks . If I ever go down the dcc route I want to be fully up to speed so to speak lol

Easiest way is to remove track and motors from original board.. Feed 22V from decoder via DPDT relay to original track connections. This toggled for forward and reverse drives original lighting. Can common function outputs if you need more current. Can set so you turn off lights with DCC function. Smoke can either be left, and another relay to turn off/on, but is full smoke all the time, or you nee to isolate smoke power and feed motor volts to smoke. Can be via relay for control.
 
Thank
