To Chrissaf, At the age of 67 and not had a train set for 56 years you've totally lost me in your confusing paragraphs! with firmware, versions, upgrade etc.Your assuming I understand about everything thats been produced in DCC. I understood on advice that DCC was easy? As the last controller I had was 56 years ago, it went forward and reverse and I have not run a train since. It seems that simply having a new DCC controller and engine is not enough. You've confused me for asking what I thought was a straitforward question. I can understand why people argue about staying with analogue. Totally lost the plot, regards Graham

To Chrissaf I have a DCC Controller (R8213)

Thank you all Bulliedboy, the loco's i have are Hornby R3941 BR CLASS 9F 92212 & Bachmann 31-614 V3 Tank Engine 2-6-2 67646 But do I need to buy the 2 decoders? or will the engine run with just the sound decoder in it? Hope that helps Cheers Spudiman

I'm starting my train set again after 56 years, so I'm learning again. I've been given 2 "DCC Ready" engines. I have DCC track and controller. My question is "I understand that I have to fit a decoder. But do I have to buy an additional decoder for sound OR can you buy them together (combined)? Thanks for any help. Graham
