This is working perfectly now and my son absolutely loves it! For some reason the Elite controller wouldn't reverse the direction of the dummy car, but 0+Direction key on the old Select controller did the trick! Now to do the same on his Class 91 DVT!

Great, many thanks!

My son got an Hitachi 800 5 car set for Christmas. (DCC ready). We added a Loksound 8 pin sound decoder to the loco. Works a treat. However, the lights on the dummy car don't work as there's no decoder yet. My question is what decoder do I need to have the lights working? This is what's in the dummy car. Do I need a Locksound one for it to work, or can any decoder work. The limited instructions say about CV29 and setting it in reverse. I can manage that, but not sure what decoder I need. I can't see the dummy car has any other functions. Any help appreciated. Will make my 8 yr old very happy! Thanks in advance!

Thanks Chrissaf :) Will do RDS

Thank you both very much for your replies. 'Fine' soldering skill might be the issue here! My soldering is pretty messy :( Good to see that it fits though. Much easier to have a go knowing that it can fit back together afterwards! Hmm, decisions...

Hello, Is it possible to add TTS sound to the mixed freight set? The DCC decoders already fitted are much smaller and don't plug in in the same way the Hornby TTS decoders do (8 pin). Very much a newbie, so any help appreciated. Picture of the diesel attached. Thanks, Mike
