I have recently purchased a Hornby class 50 DCC sound version with the Hornby Ellite . The prolem i have is that it runs at very slow speed on full power , can any one help,also it says that non DCC locos can run with the Ellite but all that these loco do is buzz.

also it says that non DCC locos can run with the Ellite but all that these loco do is buzz

and while they are buzzing they are getting hot, and its quite likely that after a while they will start to smoke and shortly after that they won't work anymore.

However, if you selected address '0' and turned up the throttle the non-DCC loco should run, and when running its OK, the above scenario only applies to standing still buzzing.

If the class 50 is very slow you may not have enough voltage on the track or the maximum speed CV may be set low, check your instructions for this CV and set it to the maximum. The 4 Amp transformer supplied with the Elite should give enough voltage, do you have a meter to check the track voltage with?
