Welcome to our new page for Hornby DCC

Items from the new Hornby DCC Range are just beginning to arrive and at the moment we have the

Western Pullman Digital Train Sets and the new R8215, 4 function, decoders in stock

.

The digital sets include the Select digital controller

  • Multiple train control on all parts of a model railway layout with minimal wiring
  • Independent control or double heading control
  • Coaches with lights stay lit even when the train is stationary
  • Realistic train movement with each model being able to be given levels of 1-99 acceleration/deceleration settings
  • LED display shows at a glance which locomotive is under control.
  • Locomotive decoders are simple to code and program. Loco Addresses 0 -59.
  • The keyboard is straight forward to use making assigning a locomotive simplicity itself.
  • Point operation means fewer wires than with a conventional control and no switches!
  • Accessory addresses 60 - 99
  • Facility on the Select for a larger 4amp power pack. More power means more tains running at one time!
  • Supports 14, 28 and 128 Speed steps
  • Xpress Net socket for layout development
  • The 'Select' may also be used as a Walkabout companion to the 'Elite'

 
 

The Hornby R8215 , 4 function, loco decoder.

Load compensation (Back EMF): Locomotive will run at a consistent speed either on the “flat” or on gradients.
Adjustable acceleration and deceleration.
Selectable for operation with 14, 28 or 128 speed steps: The greater the number of speed steps the smoother the acceleration.All Hornby decoders are factory set at 128 steps.
Four On/Off function outputs: Two of the function outputs are dedicated for the direction of lights – front and rear.
Analogue operation: Locomotives fitted with a Hornby decoder can be operated on an analogue system but without the benefits of digital control.
Overload cutout: The Hornby decoder is rated at a 500mA continuous current and 1 Amp for a short period. Should this be exceeded then the decoder will overload and cut out.This action protects not only damage to the decoder but also the locomotive.
Dimensions: 17mm x 10mm x 3.5mm

Address range 0 - 255
