Hornby dcc track

[Indiana]

Hi guys,

I just got into dcc and i have the basic oval with all the extension packs except F. Now when i switched points and tried to bring the loco into the inner oval, the connection was cut off and the loco stopped moving. I tried using the link wire to ling the big outer oval and the inner oval but no improvment. What do i do? Thanks

Hi Indiana

Have you used the Hornby DCC point clips?

Here is a video showing them in use, its the first one I found on youtube.

You might benefit from reading my "Getting Started with Track Extension Packs" document with particular focus on 'Section 6' in the document, plus the drawing 'Fig 12' with regard to the link wire kit (which should only be necessary on Analogue DC layouts 'Section 5' of the document).

.

My document can be downloaded from the post with the same name located at the top of the forum 'General Section'.

Where is your DCC power connection being made to the track. Is it on the outer oval or a siding?

I am assuming there is only one single power connection, can you please confirm this.

Glad you have sorted it but for the benefit of anyone else who may suffer the same problem, what was the solution.
