Ciao to all of you.
I'd like to know if anybody is keeping a record of the Hornby sets produced, and if he/she knows which one is DCC ready and has the highest coach quality.

That because I'm interested to buy a few of them, but I'd like to have only the DCC ready ones and a general quality as close as possible to the pullman of the last generation for example.
Thanks for your help.

The Hornby Great Western Pullman is the only Hornby DCC set that has coaches so far. I believe with the expensive Pullman coaches as well.

Is that a digital set?

Slight confusion here maybe.

Lets call it "DCC decoder ready" or "DCC decoder installed".

Happy modelling

I would suggest using Bachmann's "DCC Ready" and "DCC OnBoard".

The Pullman coaches in the DCC set are the old design ones,-not the super-detail versions....

Only to clarify that I intend DCC ready, not DCC on board.
I have just seen on ebay a Silver Jubilee set reported as DCC ready; is it possible?
Thanks.
