Thanks for your help. I will look into a possible repair of my APB once we are out of lockdown and things get back to normal. Fortunately I still have a C8217 that I can swap in. Can you confirm that I also need to change my straight digital crossovers when using a standard, analogue powerbase?

Sorry, I was not clear what I meant about the working lane. I can run an analogue car in lane 1 either clockwise or anti-clockwise by switching the direction (GEAR) mode, so working fine. I get nothing for lane 2. I have 2 solid lanes around the circuit - no single lanes and no non-digital crossovers. The only crossovers I have are straight digital crossovers. The digital side of my APB works fine for all settings. I have not done any mods to the track or the powerbase. ---- I have just tested the APB with only one piece of straight track each side in analogue mode and I am still having the same problem. I have two working transformers and run the tests initially with each one on their own in both sockets switching between lane 1 and 2 each time, then both transformers together. Lane 1 works fine every time but lane 2 will just not work!

The lane that is unresponsive does not work in either direction whereas an analogue car can go both left and right in the first lane. All of my unchipped cars seem to work okay in lane 1. I have only recently set up my Scalextric again with the APB after a long time but do not remember having any problems previously.

Hi, I use the C7042 APB on my digital scalextric track which works fine in digital mode. However, when I change to analogue mode to race two of my older cars only the one lane nearest the powerbase unit (lane 1) works. Both APB transformers work and are plugged into the powerbase and the two hand controllers are plugged into the first two sockets on the left hand side. I have three straight digital crossovers in the circuit and no curved digital crossovers. Could it be something to do with hand controller ID pairing? Any advice on how to correct this issue so both lanes work would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
