Chrissaf Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 Ravens.Remember this is a Hornby forum with a rule on active promotion of competitors product. So you will have to make your own decision based upon research. This link may give you a clue to a starting point.http://www.lenzusa.com/1newsite1/Silver+.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

96RAF Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 If you are thinking of using ADCC (read about it on the Lenz site) for a form of automatic train control, then there is a significnt difference between Lenz ADCC capable (gold and silver) and Hornby ADCC capable (Sapphire) in that Lenz uses distance and Hornby uses time (as it does in RM) for control, meaning the Lenz method is much more accurate for stopping at dignals or in stations than the recommended Hornby method - crash slowly into the buffers.

Chrissaf Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 Ravens,Image capture from the Hornby shop for the Hornby P9300 15 volts 4 amp power supply product./media/tinymce_upload/00c00dd35d72b3efb291b6a4dd8f6193.jpg.As you can see it lists that it is compatible with all three of Hornby's DCC Railway controllers, plus a couple of Scalextric items as well..Note: The P9300 power supply is also supplied with the Hornby R8239 Booster. Hattons of Liverpool have the R8239 on special offer at present £25 (reduced from £99.99). Thus this is a cheap way to buy an official P9300 power supply that has a Hornby list price of £41.99. The Booster box part of the product would then be discarded..It is not applicable to the R8247 Accessory Decoder (AD) as the R8247 does not have a DC power supply input on it. The R8247 gets its power from the DCC track output of the controller. The controller of course may have either the 1 amp or the 4 amp power supply attached to it as per the image above.

KNAP Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 Not sure if you are interested in a set, but Hattons were offeringWestern Express- elink /railmaster , DCC sound Hall, 3 coaches and track for £125. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

37lover Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 KNAP,Are you sure it was offered for that price? I've been watching the ehattons Hornby sale and not noticed any price increases.John,They say "all in stock" so surely currency changes shouldn't have any effect?

Yelrow Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 37 Lover. hi, It was at £125, , several members on my other forums bought one. They also advised the increased price. My brexit comment, was tongue in cheek, although the increase is quite big, so it could be new stock. I think hattons are being used to sell off surplus stock, so it may be, hornby released a new batch. john Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigskybirds Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 When I purchased my first Western Express, Hattons told me they had a stock level of 10,000 sets in a separate wharehouse. It is not unusual for dealers to increase their prices just before Xmas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yelrow Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 BSB, gonna have to clear a lot of stock then. john Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigskybirds Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 @Yelrow For many years Hattons have always stocked items no longer in production, you will probably remember them still selling off the old Hornby Dublo stuff in the 70's and 80's. I expect we will see the price come down in the New Year sale. Althouh they must sell alot of these sets on a daily basis since they send a van to collect the stock.
