Lyd 85B Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Previous posting appears to have been deleted. Can anyone tell me whether the Warley 14XX, R3578, is DC only, DCC ready, or DCC compatible, please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howbi Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 It is not DCC ready but is compatible with DCC.......i.e. you can hard wire a decoder.......HB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrissaf Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Yes I noticed that the your original question just vanished for some inexplicable reason. To the best of my knowledge none of the Mods removed it, as there was no reason for the Mods to remove your original, it was perfectly within forum guidelines. So I really do not think that any of the Mods was responsible for it going walkabout. I did however (purely for forum housekeeping reasons) remove the rest of the posts that followed after it (including my own reply) as there didn't seem much point leaving them orphaned there. They looked out of place without your original question to relate them to..The replies that were originally added, basically concurred with the one that HB has posted above.

Fishmanoz Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Pretty much all locos are DCC compatible, it is just that some are more difficult to convert than others. This one won’t be difficult. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
96RAF Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 I had posted a ref to the most likely service sheet (forgotten which one now) and said it would be a hard wiring task or need a socket installing, so no reason for me to delete it all.Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lyd 85B Posted January 2, 2018 Author Share Posted January 2, 2018 Thanks for the replies. I have no problem with installing DCC, and have done so with all my locos, including those with split chassis, but was puzzled as to why there is no mention of what was needed to convert the 14XX, either in the box or via the various magazines, when it was announced with such a fanfare.

Lyd 85B Posted January 4, 2018 Author Share Posted January 4, 2018 Just to add a final postscript to my OP, Hornby Customer Care have confirmed that this loco comes DC only, so it's a conversion job if you're into DCC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
