Hi, There is a real problem with this model when it is running at low speeds. I sent mine back to 'Rails' and they replaced it. New model was slightly better, but not right, I have now written to Hornby and they want me to send it back and they will check it out. They must know of the problem, they are a lot of complaints on the forums. If everyone who buys a model like this and is not happy with it, Complains!! more we might just get something done.
Great layout enjoy yourself

@bighoward1001 I have fitted this with 2 x 8 pin Hornby decoders

May I ask, what decoders were you using?
I'd like to know for reference.
