@jmsschooner It is now. Came as DCC ready, so a case of fitting the decoder. Cheers.

@ay76 What's DCC? Is it when the loco makes sound as it runs?

[ay76]

@TheRyanCarMan Stands for Digital Command Control. Visit Hornby's website (DCC section) for more details, or google DCC. Basics of DCC is that the track has constent power, & each loco is fitted with a chip (decoder). The controller (command unit) sends digital signals to the loco, which in turn instructs the loco what speed to drive at, what functions such as lights & sound to work. The loco's you see with sound are fitted with a sound decoder.

@ay76 So basically you could have two trains on the same track going at different speeds?

[ay76]

@TheRyanCarMan Well as many as the controller (or sometimes known as the command unit) can power, or depends on how much power the trains are drawing power wise. I've had about 8 going on the same track at the same time, at different speeds etc.

How many trains do you have???? its something i havw always wanted to know?

[ay76]

The only thing i've yet to fit is the buffer beam detail parts (pipes) & the cylinder exhaust pipes (not sure what the correct term for them is) Cheers.
