Semaphore signals and DCC


Brew Man

Recommended Posts

Just a casual enquiry really. It's a bit down the road yet. Is it possible to convert hornby semaphore signas to DCC. I see in the product descriptions thet are all listed as manual operation. Be a shame if you have to stretch over your layout to switch a signal on the other side of the board.

Personal view, but I consider Hornby Semaphores to be over-sized and to me seem nearer 0 gauge scale. Again in my view, they don't seem particularly realistic in appearance either. By the time that you customise the signal to add motors and DCC control systems it is probably easier to buy 'ready to run' products. The market leaders for motorised Semaphore signals are Dapol and the market leaders for DCC Decoders designed from the outset to support Dapol signals are Train-Tech SCx range of decoders. Each decoder controls two signals.
