Who exactly said they could ?

& if you mean NMRA standards, who without them we really would have a hotch potch of different systems that would all work together, at least, until the saint came along with their own system - just because it's American does not mean we should ignore it - or is it the island mentallity ?

So how come Lenz, Flesichmann, Uhlenbrook, ESU, Roco & Zimo to name just some can manage to comply with all the relevent european standards & NMRA standards ?

Gary - answer this if you can "What American DCC kit does not comply with European Standards ?"

BTW - Richard Johnson is very knowledgeable regarding DCC, but he is also impartial & fair - I just wish he was on this forum.

Question for Gary ;

If Lenz, Uhlenbrook, Fleischmann, ESU & Zimo (to name a few) can produce DCC equipment that complies with European and NMRA standards why cannot Hornby ?

Whenever Hornby DCC is gets any flak you always trot out the same "European Standards" argument.

Hi Richard,

Welcome to the forum !

I look forward to seeing more input from you (I did suspect you were here though !).

Good concise post & I'm sure can be understood by even the less technical people.

Maybe, just maybe just in the UK & I doubt it - but in the european & world markets we will have thought control for a fiver for the unit & decoders for 20p each first !

Oh come on Gary - give it up - the horse that you are flogging has been dead so long it's decomposed !

So what about Hornby's statement ? - that like Ford stating in their car adverts that their products comply with the Road Traffic Act !

Leave it alone whilst you may still have some credibility - & to look at it another way - you probably are not doing Hornby any favours at all, certainly not on this forum.

I second that - maybe Gary enjoys conflict !

Seriously though, as Gary has been well & truly been put right by Richard & can debate no further on the technical side he's now banging on about the wording & marketing. Give it a rest Gary & get off your knees worshiping Hornby !
