SailorSam Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 Hi all, has anyone on here heard anything about the R8247 accessory decoder being discontinued. I have just had an email from a well known UK retailer saying it was listed as discontinued, and i was going to order a couple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David55 Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 Hi Sailor SamI heard last year that it was being replaced by an upgraded model. What upgrade I don't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poliss Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 It's the R8216 accessory decoder that has been discontinued. The R8247 is still listed as in stock at some shops. If the R8247 has been discontinued too I haven't seen it mentioned anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bahnhof Mersch Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 Rails of Sheffield show them as being expected within 7 days. They had them in stock a couple of weeks ago when I bought one. Good price, too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
