Same as most of your posts 😆

Hornby DCC diesels are wired very oddly....common negative rather than the DCC standard of common positive. This is why lighting boards attached to the cab interiors cannot be swapped between Non sound and DCC sound fitted Hornby locos. Jason's (Stickswipe) class 56 lighting boards are excellent and well worth fitting....the headlamp is a more realistic colour as opposed to the incorrect Hornby cool white colour.

Because this is a discussion about Hornby.....

I think it's time you renewed your spell checker. Chunks of your musings are becoming increasingly incomprehensible.

World has gone mad.

You posted this in the wrong part of the forum.

2 folk have asked if, A) are you using the correct cable between powercab and faceplate. B) Have you got the correct cable plugged into the correct socket on the faceplate. As a courtesy to folk offering advice, maybes confirm? The Powercab is a very simple unit to set up and operate, if the basics are correct, and your 5 locos have their DCC chips installed properly the NCE is faulty.

The constant advert pop ups everywhere are now at the point where simply browsing and reading the forum is a pain. It's a real shame, I understand the need for advertising and don't mind it, but not when it's constantly shoved in your face.

True, but look back and see how many times Hornby have been ahead of the game in releasing new potentially market leading products only to make a bit of an ar#e of it and lose out....Zero one, super detailed diesels anyone?

Pretty much everything from Skytrex were only rough approximations of prototypes.

Indeed 😆

Pretty much echoes their approach to manufacturing models now.

A 101 dmu would have universal appeal.

I wonder if they are going to film the boardroom reaction to the Cavalex class 60 announcement for series 3 😆

That has to be the worst model 'shop' name in history.

Why? They have lost the market now.

Well, over the last week or so I have tried clearing all cookies, Internet history etc, and all to no avail. Most of the main (and enjoyed) subject topics are inaccessible. Those pop up Digitrains ads on every new page are a real pain. Appreciate I haven't subscribed and adverts are a given, but they just seem a bit over the top. On the other hand, I guess a positive is the huge reduction in forum surfing time, it's just a bit of a shame having been here since day one 😦 I would happily sign up for membership, but I'm reluctant to as others who have still seem to be reporting issues.

So why has the popularity of O gauge exploded the last couple of years?
