44767 George Stephenson - OUT NOW!

[jstange]

So I bought this. Beautiful indeed.

What is however a small disappointment is the missing animation of the external movement of the valve gear when moving the reverser forward and backward. The BMG's Walshaerts Black 5s do have it (at least to some extent).

For those who bought this pack (44767): I've noticed there is a strong flickering in the cab at the top of the roof and when you look outside on the left and then look back, the loco's side is flickering heavily. The black 5s from the original pack don't do this. Do you get this too? It is unfortunately quite annoying, although luckily it's all at the back.

Is it possible to remove the nameplates? I've not read the manual, just wondering..........

Regards, John.

So I wrote to BMG about the issue and they asked me for a screenshot. I recorded a video instead and sent it to them a few days back, no reply yet.

What I would like to kindly ask those who have the add-on, do you observe this flickering too? Want to be sure it's not an issue on my side.

Again, it only impacts the 44767, the original Black 5 pack is OK for me (both the preserved and the BR/LMS cab).

Thank you very much.

Just fired up 44767 and can confirm I am seeing the same flickering on the edge of the cab roof and on both left and right side stanchions as in the youtube video.
Let me know if you have a response from BMG.

Thanks, Peter! Sure I will.

So good news from BMG - they are fixing the issue and will let all their customers know when the fixed version is ready and the product can be re-downloaded.

[xguerra]

Fixed version now available to customers.

[jstange]

Yes, confirm this, going to test it immediately.

[jstange]

So I confirm the issue's been fixed! Great support, thanks a lot, BMG!

I also withdrew the video from Youtube so that people don't think it has this issue...
