I see I can get one from DCC Train automation in the UK .
Is YaMoRC going to be?Available in Australia.
The other question I like to ask when the DR5000 is upgraded with the YD9401.to a YD7001.
can you still be able to program the DR4018.
?Thank you to Lain with his ?comment to another member in Itrain to downgrade the DR5000 back to version 1.5.5.
That I have done, with no issue now.

Andrew,
When I bought my DR5000 last year I stayed on the waitlist for a YD9041 at Iron Planet Hobbies in the USA for several months before it became available.
Since then I thought I could use a second control station, one for the layout and one for my study for development purposes. But I was faced with the same problem you are facing right now. All the DR5000's were gone and I didn't find any YD9401's for sale.
Karst recently announced a really limited supply of upgraded YD7001's and suggested we contact our dealers for availability. I decided I was being too greedy wanting a second unit when supply was so short so I didn't chase it up.

However, I would like to do an honorable mention of Iron Planet Hobbies. In particular I'd like to mention the speed of delivery of stock to Melbourne Australia. 3-4 days is remarkable. The downside? "UPS Saver" costs around $50 for delivery. But I figured if I was spending $500 or so the cost was justified.
I know it doesn't help you find a local dealer, but I have only had good experiences with Joni over there so I don't really feel the need for a local distributor. This is not a sponsored or paid plug, it was just worth mentioning. I've spend a lot of money buying Blunami decoders of late and been wholly satisfied.

Thank you , much appreciated , Lain.
Andrew.

I did look at Iron Planet no stock ,
The other the Australian Exchange Rate is very weak $1.00 Aus = .51 pence UK for the USA $ .65
The cost of Post and plus import duties , ?the product and the??Exchange Rate?as well . it soon adds up.
at the moment I shall will wait .till stocks become available.

I bought one yesterday from the Netherlands. Still stock available there;?
Regretfully postage is more than the cost of the YD9401, but you can’t hold the poor Australian dollar against the Europeans or Americans. Albanese economics at work here…… :-(

Looking forward to update My 5000 and go forward again. Now to get my Lenz controllers changed out :-)

Been a long time since you could. Most countries including US, interest rates are higher and that impacts exchange rates.
Unfortunately buying stuff from US isn't cheap and postage just adds. I recently purchased several DR4018 from the States, ouch!.

Hi all,

I have requested to become a YaMoRc dealer, I run a small DCC business in Australia, Buckambool Model Trains, predominantly dealing in decoders from ZIMO and ESU, plenty of installation work also. I sold a fair few Digikeijs DR5000 units through Marty at Ridgepointe Rail, and have one myself, as well as at our N scale club here in Sydney. Keen to continue that supply if I can! I've just sent off another email to Karst and the team, would appreciate if you guys could get in touch with me! Seems to be a few of us here in Australia wanting/struggling to get in YaMoRc equipment!

Cheers,

Jarryd

Thank you rzwartus for the heads up on the small stock in the Netherlands. I ordered one on Sunday for my 2nd DR5000 and it arrived today in the UK.
