Super D Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 Have been donated a 2 rail A4 Hornby Dublo in excellent condition. It runs very well on DC and has a very good weight - far more than the modern stuff. How would you chip it please? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin Brasher Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 I am sorry that I am unable to help you with fitting a chip. I would point out that 'Silver King' was the 3-rail version. The 2-rail version was 'Golden Fleece'. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
34theletterbetweenB&D Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 The necessary mod ahead of decoder fitting is to isolate the motor brush that is connected directly to the rail via the wheel. axle and chassis block. I knew we had discussed this before. http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/9534-Hornby-dublo-dcc/ That done my choice would be a Lenz Standard for good control of this robust but basic motor. If that doesn't produce sufficiently refined control, then move on to a Zimo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
