modelman Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 Hello; I'm looking at buying a series of traintronics signals for my layout. What I'm intending to have is one T111 signal red/green signal with a right feather to start with. I have read all the information regarding installation but I have no idea as to how I go about connecting one up to a DCC bus powered by a Hornby DCC Elite Controller. Does anybody know how I got about installing them for use with Hornby DCC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishmanoz Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 Should just be a matter of connecting DCC wires to track and programming it as a single port accessory decoder. Also follow its instructions for operation. Now I'm guessing here but that is the way all NMRA compliant decoders should work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just didn't know it would be that simple with programming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idlemarvel Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 It can be done but because the lights are LEDs and the polarity is the opposite to that produced by the Hornby accessory controller (and most others) you have to use a latched relay to operate the colour signal. I wrote up why and how to do it here: https://www.hornby.com/forums/hornby-forums/hornby-digital/676/?page=2#post6857 It might be easier to get a TT decoder or buy DCC fitted signals as Roj says.
