I'm failing miserably at configuring a Hornby Surface Mounted Point Motor via a Hornby Point Decoder and a Hornby Elite Controller.
Can I firstly check that I am trying to set this up correctly. I've got a length of track setup as the Programming Track and the Elite Unit is conected to the track via the "Prog" connectors on the Elite Unit. The Point Decoder is then connected to the track via another (DCC) track connecter. The point motor is then connected into Port 1 on the Point Decoder (Red = + / Black = C / Green = -). The motor eventually appears to programme OK after a few attempts - you can see and hear the solonoid operate. However when you change over to the live track and try to operate the point motor, nothing happens.
Can anyone tell me if this sounds like I've got a faulty component or is this something to do with the motor not getting enough power from the track?
Thanks in anticipation.
