Hi all, first proper post.
I have bought a Vitrains Class 37 as a Xmas present for my son. I test ran the loco and it ran fine and the lights worked, I then fitted a Hornby R8215 decoder and ran it again. It worked fine but the lights did not come on. Anyone have any ideas why this should happen?

Cheers and all thge best.

It's almost certain that the decoder is plugged in the wrong way round - reverse the plug & that should correct the problem.

Have allready tried that, still no joy!

tyro here...but isn't the Hornby decoder rather limited in functions?

ie the lights need to operate off a separate function to the motor?

Have you pressed the F0 button to switch the lights on??

That sounds like where I'm going wrong, cheers!
