I have an odd one for you all here.
My N layout consists of basically two separate layouts one on each side of the room, joined by an interconnecting bridge. One is DCC (DIY!) controlled at the moment and the other is standard DC.
I am still to decide on a final DCC system, so the hornby Select is running the DCC side of the layout to allow me to get locos fitted with decoders, tested etc.
On some of my locos, I have noticed that when I run some of my DCC fitted locos on the DC layout the lights do not work - - mainly those fitted with the basic hornby decoder. The lights operate correctly under DCC control
Has anyone else come across this kind of problem before? It could be a Hornby decoder issue - I need to check all my locos to be sure if its just the hornby ones that have the problem.
I do not recall any CV's that stop lights working on a DC track ? Anyone with any thoughts on this?
PS I am seriously considering getting the Fleischmann Twin-centre - does anyone know if the cheapo hornby decoders work with this?
