[Gordon-723023]

How does one set up an elderly 'Railroad' R2881 Black 5 'DCC READY' loco to operate with sound via a Hornby DCC 'SELECT' controller?

Plug in a sound decoder and mount a suitable speaker.

As your loco will have the DCC socket in the loco this guide may help with your options - http://www.halton96th.org.uk/ttsdownload.html

Sound decoders use many functions to play the sounds so your Select needs to be at the latest revision to bring these into use. Check your Select as it powers up, the screen shows a number (xx) then 30 then 03 - whats is your xx.
