Well I tried it!
Connected the PowerCab to the Elite using the coil type conector cable that comes with the PowerCab for this very purpose.
Only has 4 wires connected so gave it a go.
Nope it didn't work
The PowerCab comes on and you can re-address the cab as per the instructions, but it just stays on that screen, you can't do anything else with it. Bit of a shame really.
Now is this because it just won't work, or could it be the flat type of cable being used?
I have a feeling the only type of slave you can connect to the Elite will be the Select or Select walkabout(are these 2 different things?)although Hornby don't claim anything else, so cant complain.
Shame that, if all the locos are using 4 digit addressing on the Elite how do you access them with a Select or do they all have to be on 2 digit addressing?
