Firebox flicker not working on P2 Prince of Wales


Recommended Posts

Hi, the firebox flicker on my P2  Prince of Wales, worked then it didn't work, then it did somehow, but now I can't get it to work at all. If memory serves me correctly F22 on DCC mode activates it, or the second Aux lighting function in Bluetooth, but I have tried all the Aux functions with no success. I have reset the decoder with F8, and reinstalled the functions, but to no avail. Does anyone have any thoughts of what I should try? Btw all other sound functions work as does the steam generator and I can control the loco without problems.

No it is not permanent as far as I can see. It can be controlled by DCC or Bluetooth, and can be turned off with F22 (I think or F21), and the Aux setting in Bluetooth.

My apologies, I have just spoken to Hornby, and you are correct that the flickering firebox is uncontrolled and picks up straight from the track. So there is obviously a fault and I am sending it back for repair!

Thanks for that, I have 2003 and 2005, and thought that 2007 was different, because of the steam generator. I am on holiday, so not possible to check the. Sorry to hear you had to send it back. Let’s hope for a swift return.
