The loco is 50045 (R2350)

The part that is glued is the triangle part below the socket the part the allows the socket to move to the left or the right

Hey guys I just bought this hornby class 50 and turns out someone has super glued the nem pocket that holds the coupler and so it can't move around and restricts the wheel bogies from moving around and so derails on curves. Is there a solution for this or would I just need to cut it the pocket off

How do I use these ?

When I do this I only turns F0 on no matter what number I use

I brought myself a trainset ages ago with the updated select and was just using the manual from that to see how to do things on the select I was given so yes no wonder it wasn't working

Will try this thanks

Is there a PDF of the older manual as I wasn't given a manual when I brought this select

However when I hold the function button it works and shows the function to make a double header consist

Yes am doing that however when I press a number and function it doesn't say f1 on or f1 off it just doesn't select the function at all and the number continues to flash

Oh yep and would this be a possible cause as to why it shorted out

But don't I need the ends stripped to insert it into the A and B terminals

Photos are of both ends of the green wires the buffer stop looks to be made of plastic so don’t think it could short it out but will test with a metre with the buffer and without the buffer using the green wires to see if there is a short

Oh yep when the smoke started coming out from the power outlet I was just using the green wires and the power track wasn’t on the test track however after this incident I got a bit scared and thought the green wires were the problem and so added the power track but didn’t remove the green wires and just used the power track as my connection to the track which worked fine however as mentioned I need this power track on the layout and want to use the green wires however I don’t want smoke coming from the power outlet again so I was wondering what I could do to fix this and make the test track work with just the green wires

So they don’t matter ?

Oh yep it shows 11 when it boots up so will send it into hornby thanks

Hey guys I’ve got a hornby select and it works fine except for the fact that it won’t let me control any functions eg lights and sound and I was wondering is this a controller fault or a software fault

I ended up taking the power track from the layout however I’d rather just use the green wires pictured on the right and yes the select did boot up all right with the power track also on the select where I put the track wires it says A and B does it matter which wires from the track go into A and B or do I have to put it an exact order eg the outer rail always into A and the inner rail always into B

Hiya sorry the photos got removed have cropped them and sent them again they are just waiting approval breaker in the house wasn’t tripped PSU was the Hornby one (in the photos) hopefully once the photos are approved it’ll make more sense

Hey guys I made this test track and when I put the wires on the right side into my hornby select and turned the power on smoke started coming out from the power outlet so I immediately turned it off and haven’t used it since I was using the power supply on the right when this happened and after this I tested the controller without the wires inserted and just with the power supply plugged into the controller and I discovered the power supply was fried I do have another power supply that I believe is the same and I would like to try get my test track to work so I was wondering if you guys had any idea why this happened and how I could fix it cheers Jonathan Mod Edit: Your images have been removed as they contain a phone number.

Yep this a band driven fan

Hiya guys I've recently bought a hornby class 50 and I want to dcc it so have got a decoder also. The fan on the class 50 is still connected however I've heard people say this brings the performance of the loco down as time goes on and was wondering if this was true would really like to keep the fan but would rather have a good running locomotive cheers Johnny

Oh yep makes sense thanks guys
