    Bus Wire

    Whatever you want to do but remember that you may want to have isolated sections of track and that can't be done if they are connected directly to the bus
  2. Your Lima loco needs to have a DCC decoder fitted before it will run under DCC control.
  3. If you have the latest firmware then pressing and holding the STOP button for 3 seconds or more will cut track power, rather than just sending the " All Stop" command. Personally, I think 3 seconds is much too long in a run away situation.
  4. There was a report some days ago about requesting personal data that 96Raf passed to Hornby to investigate. Maybe this problem is something to do with that. See
  5. Good old ether, knocks us out, starts machines. 😁
  6. Often takes about 7 days.
  7. Updating is the first thing to try.
  8. Just looked again and can see 35 pages of history. Wonder if the devs are playing
  9. Like Fishy, I can only see the first page of posting history.
  10. I don't have a Z21 but I believe it has a built in address change function that doesn't require you to write to individual CVs. I suggest you try using that.
  11. Digitrax use LOCONET not XPRESSNET. They are not the same and are not interchangeable.
  12. That part should be connected between the middle wheel and the back wheel like the other side of the loco. It looks broken. I could be wrong on both parts though.
  13. The bit that is stu k in the body is the speedo drive and it should be like that.
  14. XPRESSNET and LOCONET are totally different protocols and cannot be used interchangeably.
  15. Do not run any locos on DCC if they don't have a decoder fitted. They can overheat and burn out the motor, particularly if they are left stationary.
  16. Are the locos that are causing burn outs fitted with ringfield motors? Many of these need the left hand brush to be isolated from the the main body of the motor.
  17. Hornby apparently believe it will be a useful marketing tool. 🤣
  18. Darker text would definitely help, maybe a larger size too?
  19. Yes I know it's the same platform. Just so badly implemented here.
  20. Does it have a decoder fitted? Assuming you are using DCC. DCC ready locos need a decoder to be installed.
