from memory the p2 came with a set of flangless wheels for the rear of the loco ,is yours flanged ? if your track is not dead flat the loco rear set will be catching in the points and on the curves,take out the small wheels under the cab to see if the movement improves

the select will not reset a decoder,weegee try cleaning your track and press gently on the loco whilst programming , how many times does the led flash ? double check that the decoder is in it's socket correctly the select does not "register a decoder" ,it goes to 03 by default

hi decom the difference between the two power clips is the dcc does not have a capacitor in it. using analogue loco's on dcc is to be avoided ,the motors can burn out quickly. the 8250 is an analogue controller

this may help with some http://www.hornbyguide.com/class_details.asp?classid=140

Half of my DCC point clips dont fit correctly :( I dont know if i got a bad batch or something... They seem slightly too big and they arc inwards? Its really weird. They still work though, so i guess its not a massive problem. They seem slightly too big and they arc inwards? yes they should ,if it comes loose then a ) the branch will not work b) they dissapear ,sometimes on to a loco and can cause a short circuit

@Lexicaltje looking good may i point out in your second picture ,the dcc point clip is not correctly fitted , may save a little work later . have fun

1 power supply = 50 outlets jp 5772 2 expansion hubs jp 5702 5 light hubs jp 5701 4 connection cable packs jp 5760 plug in lights to suit your taste ,you will have 16 connections for building lights

hi the ds3 needs two address , address (1) will control the red /green and address (2) will control the amber so clip in the signal to the track , short out the the metal contacts on the side pick your address ( the select accesories start at 60 ) say 60 then press the direction arrows on your select ,the signal should be programmed , then call up the address and press the direction buttons and the red green should change the second address should be 61 to control the amber the traintech point controllers work in a similar fashion wire to the track press the teach button choose your address press direction arrows .job done what you pay for imo is the simplicity of the programming method , done and dusted in minutes .

Can you please advise What is loco detection ?
