CLP and CLF class units arrive at Glenorchy to Murtoa.

Auscision Models deliver their CLP and CLF variants.

Well after 1293 days from placing my order for two CLP and two CLF class models they arrived via Australia Post on February 4, 2025. That is three years, six months and two weeks [13 days]. The order form stated the following year, 2022, from when the order was placed on July 22, 2021. There was a tooling model photo on the order form. This is nowhere near the longest pre-order by a model company.

Looking at the model, I am unsure exactly what is going on here with the piping on the left-hand side of the cab, see the red circle below.

Prototype images so it slightly different.

I guess I can glue these up, or something similar, but it does droop and sit outside the line of the locomotive.

The below image shows CLP 17 with the pipe sitting 'out'.

The CLF models have the same issue.

Anyhow, I made a video of some changes I did to the ESU LokSound V5.0 DCC sound decoder that is fitted to these models. The models I pre-ordered were CLP-1-S, CLP-2-S, CLF-1-S and CLF-2-S.

The video is on you tube and can be found at this link:

I might do a separate post with some screen shots of the JMRI pages showing the settings. Let me think about it.
