And now Hattons have taken things to the other extreme with some of their ridiculous used equipment prices. .................................................................................................................. They probably did their research on flee bay. The king of keeping items on offer for years on end at inflated prices. They seem to have a lot of repeat items. There must be about 20 secondhand Hornby Q1s on the site. I cannot believe everyone is getting rid of old versions (for new ones) just to have a DCC chip holder in the tender and possibly the wrong smokebox door. ................................................................................................................................................... Never have & never will buy from them.

Nor me .

The White Knight post runing in trails on the S,C,R,

There is one on Youtube i have seen Northeastern Tony with TTS fitted.

The NRM could just be having a revamp of that area .

Gresley A3 The White Knight is the newest addition to the Severn Crescent Railway. The White Knight becomes the 7th A1/A3 collection on the S.C.R. . Once running in trails are over The White Knight will be running regally with the rest of the Gresley 4-6-2 family.

Thank you for the information NickC.

................................................................................... Thank you for the information.

I was thinking of getting Hornby`s DCC e-Link + Railmaster Software sytsem . Would I be able to download Rail master software to my Android phone & table to run from . Am I right in thinking this would make my Hornby Elite redundant. I must admit I like the idea of being able to run from phone & tablet. I have seen the Roco Z21 system running and being used with Smart phones and tablets.

................................................................................................ Going to have a go at that my A1 Bachmann Tornado. I have even speaker cable in black already.

.............................................................................. Just read your step-by-step post and I think I might have a go at that. So might take the plunge for a RailRoad P2 might even with my A1 Bachmann Tornado as well.

.................................................................................................................. Thank you The Blue Streak for your information about the books ,will take a look. Yeah I am mainly 4-6-2 Gresley & Peppercorn collector , I have stepped on a dark-side a bit with 3 Stanier Duchees Class loco`s

............................................................. Thank you for information HOTTODDY.

Looks good to me what ever eara your modeling .

................................................................................ Cheers RAFHAA96.

I have thought about that also ,have looked online for pre-owned TTS P2s.

But I find at the minute Hornby do not produce the TTS decoder for this version. Dose anyone know if Hornby plan to produce any TTS Decoders for sale to its retailers to sell. The plan was to have it renamed & new paint job. I wonder if the Gresley A1/A4 decoder will do? The railroad model has chip holder in the loco and tender wires nor pickups. The TTS version has pickups on tender plus the 4 wires between loco and tender with the plug. If they did do the TTS chip, they will not do the remaining stuff to bring it up to the TTS standard. This is easy to workaround though. Remove the speaker and fit the chip in the loco, fit speaker in the tender and run a pair of wires between them. See the TTS steam thread where I post details about converting a Bachmann A1. ............................................................................................................... Sorry I did mean to say I have the TTS, COCK O THE NORTH and was actually thinking after posting that might be the case with RailRoad P2. As I have the TTS A1 Flying Scotsman also the railroad version that is the same decoder in loco no wires to tender nor speaker housing either . TTS COCK O THE NORTH P2

I think a Dragon should step in and buy Hornby up AKA Peter Jones . He as done wonders for Jessops.
