Given electronics is my day job I'm quite happy to sort out an appropriate PSU for myself, I'll stick a DC/DC and a circuit breaker on the output anyway to give a nice flat 15V at up to 4A.
What type of circuit breaker would you recommend and where would you source them?

Surely we need to see what the output from a 'recommended Hornby dc source' lookslike
The 1A and 1.5A wall warts and the 3A PSU would be interesting.

Nice, but that is over £50 and 4A may be a little over the top for a shunting plank.

It's not a wall-wart, it's a transformer with a lead and UK 3-pin plug ( which will have a fuse in it. ) Hornby HM700 R7337.
I would imagine the PSU has over current and short circuit protection built in.
That sounds like the 4A PSU. In the launch video SK states that the 1A 1.2A and the 4A "transformers" can be used.

Just a cable with the correct connectors for the Hornby 15v PSU.
Sorry, still thinking/planning. If this cable connects the wall-wart to the track. What happens if there is a short.
Does the PSU have over current protection circuit?-

Not seen it expressly mentioned, how do the soundchips fit with locos which already have with factory fitted speakers?
On the 18 pin decoder pins 7 and 16 are the speaker output, it is likely that these pins will be routed to the internal speaker from the loco pcb and the speaker socket on the decoder.
-
Regarding R7324 "HM7020: 15V Power Supply Adapter", is this just a straight through cable with the correct connectors or is there some circuitry built in.

One question though, if the decoders have serial numbers HM7000_XXXX, where XXXX is a 4 digit hexadecimal number, what happens if they sell more than 65535 decoders????
There can be more than one hex value that corresponds to HM7000_.
So they may display the same but have different hardware addresses. -

I like the look of the Bush Type 2/Class 31, I'd prefer a Class 08 shunter over an Austerity and perhaps a Class 101 DMU too. It'd be the basis for a nice diesel era Minories!
And some A60/A62 stock.

A bit left field but how about some LT A60/A62 stock. They may not be widespread but where they did go there were a lot of people.
They will even play nicely with the 31. -
Always worth an hour away from the end of platform 10 to pay a visit, not forgetting a short walk up to Victors.
-
Westerns at Paddington, Peaks at St Pancreas, Deltics at the Cross
Through the foot tunnel to Stratford depot or tagging along to coach party at Finsbury Park
Walk into Old Oak Common and occasionally Willesden Junction.
Midland Electrics at Wealdstone or Stanmore, and HST Prototype from Southall footbridge
Not forgetting holidays in scotland with 27s at Dundee.
These were my spotting days
Its what I know

Interestingly looking at the advert for the 4-VEPs on the inside front cover of the September issue of Hornby magazine,
both the NSE and all over blue livery 4-VEPs have all black gangway connections and either weathered or "shopped" cable recesses.

Mrs rmnik found me "testing" mine.
Got told off and it's now been hidden for Christmas.
-
Picked mine up today
I know I shouldn't open it up till Christmas
but I can confirm that it does not have working lights.
These Pacifics are fiddly things to put on the track, its been a long time.
Very nice bit of kit though

I hope that the idea of DC PSUs won't be dropped as I thought that this would be an excellent and cost effective way for a DCC Sound O gauge shunting plank. Everything on hold at the moment as my chosen mobile is Android.
