HM6000 - Power Connection

[mercky]

Hi I live in Australia and recently purchased HM6000 through Amazon and delivered from the UK, also purchased a power pack from Amazon 15v 1A, on Hornby site it said the DC connection was 2.1mm so this is what I purchased from Amazon, but the DC connection doesn’t fit what have I done wrong, don’t want to cut wires and reconnect to a DC plug that fits, hope someone can advise me..

I cannot see any ref to a 2.1 mm plug supply on the Hornby site. Can you post a link direct to the page please. This is the Australian version of the 1.0A standard power supply unit.

The power supply you need is the same one supplied with Hornby digital kit i.e. Select and eLink.

This previous post discusses power supplies and tells of the correct sized 6.3mm plug. Presuming you meant 5.5 x 2.1 mm plugs - these tend to be 12v not 15v.

See my previous post ref discussion and sizing.

The only known alternative PSU is a Toshiba laptop PSU which is the equivalent of the Hornby P9300 4-amp supply brick, which is an acceptable upgrade for the P91xx series 1-amp wall wart units. Oz variant of that also available - see here https://octaviancs.com/railmaster/ampage.php?id=ampage
