Thanks to the links posted here I've read into this issue further, and I'm convinced that curved lane changers will not work with ARC Pro because of a fundamental design decision that is different than how the previous digital powerbase was designed. We never modded our curved lane changers because we've only ever used digital with the C7042. And yes, I agree that a big issue here is that Hornby promoted the new ARC Pro powerbase as something that can be easily slotted into an existing digital track layout, without providing the caveat that some conditions will not work. I'm willing to accept these limitations but then I'm not a hobbiest like many on this and other boards

Hi everyone, I just purchased the ARC Pro basestation to connect to my existing digital track. I have three old-style curved lane changers, and whenever I add any of these to the track, the ARC Pro shorts out (flashing red status light). All three of my curved lane changers cause this problem, so I don't believe it's a problem specific to those pieces. When I connect the older digital powerbase, it's fine. Does anyone know if these curved lane changers are incompatible with ARC Pro? Does anyone have working track with the ARC Pro which includes these curved lane changers? Thanks for your help
