Bulleidboy Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 Not a serious problem at all, by on my R2898XS Schools Class "St.Pauls" 30909 the sound continues for up to five minutes after I have turned the sound off. It does not happen on other models. This is one of the earlier Hornby "sound" models with a Loksound decoder. Is this a particular feature on this model?

Howbi Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 Have you tried re-setting the decoder Barry? Might just be a glitch due to old age; (I usually get one every week nowadaysthinking_face)......HB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulleidboy Posted January 3, 2022 Author Share Posted January 3, 2022 Hi Howard - as I said it is not a serious problem at all. I ran the loco today, and switched on the sound using my Elite, and when I turned the sound off (several attempts), it kept running. On other loco's, you hit the button and it's off. I can live with it, but was interested to know whether this was a feature of this particular loco - as you said "it could be old age!" BB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColinB Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 For some reason LokSound decoders seem to do this. I don't usually buy LokSound decoders, but on the ones I have bought second hand they definitely do it. I don't know why, it is as if it is using the data from the last DCC run, before accepting the new DCC data. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrissaf Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 All my locos are fitted with Loksound decoders [two of them Hornby XS], yes the shut down sound sequence can be longer than expected but not (in my case) taking 5 minutes. The longest shut down sequence with my locos is no more than 20 to 30 seconds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColinB Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 Have you got "stay alive" fitted, that would have an effect. I don't know if the older versions had more issues, from what you describe it sounds like a Version 3.5 version, I think that is what Hornby fitted originally to their models. If it is like my 3.5 version it uses a 100 ohm speaker, so less current used so any "stay alive" will last longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
