prtrainman Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 This may seem a dumb question but if you place lighted coaches (Hornby Mk1s & Pullmans) on a DCC-controlled layout will the coaches remain lit constantly unless they are placed in a siding where it is possible to isolate the track supply?

Modelling Martin Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 Hi, I have had both Bachmann and Hornby pullmans on my DCC layout where they are constantly lit due to the constant track feed. I would image if a siding was isolated from the track there would be no power to them and so they would not be lit up, Kind regards, Gary Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suzie Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 You will need to fit a function decoder to the coaches if you want to turn the lights on or off at will, or isolate the track. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
