Multi train running on a single track using DCC control

[ay76]

@ashnobby Not unless you want to be able to turn them on or off. Other wise they work just fine on DCC with out a decoder.

[infernodood3]

how did you get the lights in the pullman coaches?

[ay76]

@infernodood3 Comes as standard as supplied from the factory.

[AUTubeN22]

wow nice layout, stretches quite far back looks very efective! did you build the bridge yourself too?

[ay76]

@AUTubeN22 Thank you.

[littleninjai]

thay look so cheap so plastic. not sure i like hornby. is that ur roof cavity?

[ay76]

@littleninjai Take a close up look at the likes of Hornby's new class 08, 09, 31, 56, 60, 43 etc. Also check out the likes of their pullman coaches & pullman observation coach.That's before we even get on to the likes of some very stunning steam models they do!! Look cheap & plastic..... NAH!!! Far from it.

nice layout it looks very impressive im 15 and am really struggling to work my way into the hobby properly its in the same stage as yours and has been for about 2 years

[ay76]

@TRAINHEAD247 This layout never got finished, due to me not being happy with the track plan. Ended up taking down & starting again. Stick with it, i'm sure you'll end up moving your layout on to the stage. With so many great layouts on YT, there's plenty of inspiration to spur your layout on. In my case it's finding time to work on it. Cheers.

does anybody have the red oo gauge 105 train from hornby?

[peggey707]

awsome!

[ay76]

This was my last layout which I never got round to finishing, Cheers.

[Prodownhill]

Im just starting, can any train be fited with a Dcc or is it certin once.

[ay76]

Most should be able to be fitted.Go for DCC ready ones (at 1st) as they'll be easier to convert.Cheers.

[connorj2k8]

love those pullman coaches

[ay76]

They do look nice.Rear one is the newer Hornby aluminium sided type.The rest are Bachmann.Cheers.

[zombiesonacid]

Does the DCC sound chip produce the sound from within the loco, or is the sound coming from the controller? Sorry.

[ay76]

No worries mate.The loco engine sound comes from with in the loco (where fitted with a sound decoder).The ones you see running here don't have a sound decoder(chip) fitted.They only have a normal decoder (chip) fitted. Would like to fit a sound decoder in some more if time & money will allow.Cheers.

[gentarion]

the power of dcc!

[ay76]

It's great, I only wish I'd made the change over to DCC sooner.You can do so much more with it too.Cheers

[Scabbersmksit]

i got passenger cars like that.

[ay76]

The Pullman coaches??Look nice even better when it's darker as the working table lights look great.Cheers

[ay76]

The same as the Pullman coaches??Cheers

[swatunit21]

WOW The ELITE I Could Only Afford The Normal One And Off EBay

Do You Run The Accessories On DCC?

[ay76]

Hi Swatunit21,I will be doing on my next layout, but this is just my test track layout & I'll be building a new layout soon.Have a look in the model railway mags for DCC suppliers.I got mine for just over £100 & they upgraded the firmware before sending it out to my too. It's a great controller.Cheers

[swatunit21]

To Save Money Use DC For Accessories, You Will Save ALOT

I Use My £45 eBay DCC Standard For Trains And A Black With Red Nob DC Controller For Around 20 Accessories!

[ay76]

Yes that's a good idea that is.Cheers

[itfcsam]

yeh that happens lots on mi railway already

lol

[itfcsam]

very clever lol

[ay76]

Yes DCC is great, you can do so much more with it.Just have to be extra careful when running more than one on the same line.Don't want any crashes.LOL

[ForeverSilver]

On my old train sets, all we had was analog controllers, which sucked because all the trains went the same way ;_;

[ay76]

The out side line on this layout is still under analogue control,It's the inside line that's under DCC as you can see.Thank you for watching.Cheers.

[Prelude610]

Nice. One suggestion. Turn off the auto-exposure so that the brightness doesn't change when a (dark) train goes by.

[ay76]

Thank you.I like the fact that you can now watch videos in the same pic quality nearly as the original.More video's to come, & a new layout will be started this year as well.Regards.

[ay76]

Thank you.I've only just gone/going over to dcc so thought I'd share it with you all.cheers

[Nightm00ds]

wow - that looks great 5*
