Hi all
I converted my small layout to DCC a couple of months ago by buying a hornby mixed goods digital set which seemed like the cheapest and easiest way to see if DCC was the way forward for me on the new layout i'm planning. All worked well so i went ahead and bought hornby accessory decoders too and i now have all the point motors DCC controlled as well.
Great -- I'm loving this DCC thing and have definately decide it's the way of the future for me.
Anyway, to get to the point my wife bought me a Bachmann class 20 with DCC sound for my birthday and i have a problem with it, when i use the loco on my layout with the hornby select i can't get functions 5 to 8 to play ball, they just don't do anything.
The model was demonstrated in the shop with a prodigy controller so i know the decoder is good and all the functions were working. Has anybody else come across this problem or indeed found a fix for it. Is it worth me hassling Hornby or Bachmann about it or should i just not bother, i'm thinking about buying a Lenz or digitrax system to replace the select when i go to the dortmund exhibition in april anyway.
All repsonses gratefully recieved.
Thanks
