using the select or elite

if you convert all the points to dcc, can you put the power track in a siding and run a loco on a different part of the layout when the point is closed ?

@kylewilliams1000 You would have to make the points live, or use electrfrog type points such as those by peco etc. I'd suggest putting the power track on the main circuit, & then running a power feed from that to the siding.

hi, i have a bachmann class 66 dcc sound loco, and i changed the loco adress but for some reason i have to be on 03 to drive the train and 04 to activate the sound? it didnt seem to change it both over

@infernodood3 mmmmm...... not sure what's gone off there. Put the loco on your programing track, & get the DCC controller to read back it's address CV (if your DCC controller allows you to read CV's??). Recall up the address it shows & reprogram it to the one you want. Other wise do a decoder reset, this will take it back to all settings as you'd of 1st got it. A case of then reprograming the loco address again.

are all functions which come with digital sound locos permissible to function on the Elite?

[ay76]

@chefblanc Depends how many functions the loco your using has. The Elite currently has 13 functions (that's including function 0). Having talked with Hornby this past weekend, the number of functions is going to be increased up to 24. So they'll be a software / firmware download update coming in due course. Where after any ones coming from the factory will have the 24 functions pre-installed.

@GeeksvilleStudios Your welcome.

[kylewilliams1000]

@ay76 okay thanks :)

@modellerman Yes, as seen in this video clip (to the left of the Elite unit). Cheers.
