faulty decoders

Postby tradman on Sat Aug 09, 2008 7:00 pm

since xmas have bought over 30 decoders, mainly hornby, bachmann and ZTC. I have had three bachmann and theree ztc fail, no hornby so far. I returned all the faulty decoders back to bachmann and ztc, after the last failure which was in mid june. I had the ztc replaced within 3 weeks, I had all but given up on the bachmann because I had cut off the plug, when this morning three new ones arrived.

Well done to all.

yes, I did but misread regarding business visa, thought nothig of it as I just took the same documentation I took last time, but apparently there are changes and restrictions due to Olympics.

I will have all documention by Monday afternoon so will reapply Tuesday morning, although I am not going until the 16th. if I finish by the 20th I will be coming back via Hong Kong ( 2 days) else direct to UK on 24th.
