Have just received my Kernow GWR Steam RailCar - Its Beautiful Does anyone know if Hornby or anyone else made a suitable coach I can add to it like in preservation I thought GWR converted the steam railcars to Push Pull units later in life and would like to add one as it would look so good v best Mark

Have converted my Old Classic track to Digital with track converters and Sport Digital control base unit have converted a Mini Anniversary 3 pack to digital, wow so fast compared to older Classic cars. Can speed be adjusted as very fast for grandchildren to control! Q: Can i still use the C252 Booster Cables as quite a large layout and suspect power is dropping on far side Any advice would be appriciated Many thanks Mark

Hi P-Henny and 96RAF Thank you both so much for clarifcation of connection of the R8247 very much appriciated I noted some place???!! Some decoders have a R8216 label, but are actually R8247 If stamped 50/07 on body they are actually R8247!! Maybe you could confirm The one's I have obtained from various souces all have the 50/07 marking Hope this is OK The Select I have when powered up displays 20, followed by 30 then 03 ready to go, box states 'Now fitted with Updated Firmware Version 6' I also have second Select which has a faulty LED display (not all digits cal be read) which i understand cannot be repaired. Is it possible to use the Select in another way or should i just discard it as knackered Thanks again for reply's found them very useful indeed

I am constructiong a layout with multiple points / turnouts operated by recessed / under mounted R8014 motors, connected to R8247 Point decoders (4 per unit) Planned to use an R8213 Select DCC Controller purely for this task, not for loco control Does anyone have a wiring diagram as need to connect 3+ R8247 decoders to the R8213 DCC Select Controller Any pointers (excuse pun) would be very much appriciated Thanks Mark C PS have also posted under Hornby DCC Mod note - your post moved to DCC section where it belongs and the duplicate post deleted.
