I have been building up a DCC layout based upon Digitrax Super Chief Control and have converted a range of modern locomotive to DCC.
Over the weekend I was given a new Horby R2464 GWR 2-8-0 locomotive. On checking the latest Hornby catologue it states specifically that this locomotive is not suitable for use with DCC. (This appears to be the only locomotive in the range specified as being unsuitable for DCC).
The locomotive has a smoke generator and glowing fire box when in motion and has a Ringfield tender drive.
Has any one any experience of converting this loco to DCC, is the problem due to the smoke generator and or the glowing fire box.
Is it possible to isolate either of these items and then convert to DCC.
Any help would be appreciated
