At the end of the day all any modeller wants is a system which work's ok, the same as all the other dcc systems, the main problem with Hornby dcc is that it has been made to a price and it show's.
When the select was launched, last year I e mailed Gaugemaster asking about the problems with the Hornby decoder I had a phone call back and given a explanation what the problems were even then, last november, the waveforms given out by the Select had been checked by Gaugemaster , I was also offered the chance to return the prodigy back and it would be rechipped so i could use a Hornby decoder, as the prodigy had worked ok with all the other decoder's 21 in total I decided not to bother.
Gary your defence of Hornby has to be admired, but at the end of the day Hornby WILL HAVE TO CHANGE OR LOOSE SALES I AND I SUSPECT MANY OTHERS WILL NOT BUY A HORNBY LOCO FITTED WITH THAT DECODER.
Richard Johnstone has no axe to grind about Hornby and is a expert in his field, I know who i would listen to.
