Hornby R1126 Mixed Freight OO Gauge Digital (DCC) Train Set RARE
See the benefits of digital control. You can really see the benefits of digital control once this set is assembled. Each of the locomotives has a decoder factory fitted and both are immediately ready for operation. Independent control is guaranteed for each locomotive even though they may both be on the same track. When the powerful diesel locomotive is coupled to the four wagons included with the set, the Class 08 diesel can then pull them round the circuit just stopping in front of the little 0-6-0 Class J83 locomotive. The Class J83 can then be reversed carefully so that it couples to the front of the 08. Once coupled, the engines can be programmed so that both locomotives will work in unison and move off together, pulling the wagons as a double-headed train. The track circuit sits easily on the 1800 x 1200 mm TrakMat, and by adding Hornby track and accessory packs it can soon be developed into a very effective model railway layout. Extend your set in easy steps by adding track packs and TrakMat accessory packs all the way to the full layout pictured on your TrakMat. Why choose a Hornby Digital train set? The Hornby DCC system ensures that the Hornby control units are simple to understand and very straightforward to operate. The Hornby system differs from the conventional type of 12V controllers in as much that it is the individual locomotives that are controlled internally rather than the controlling of a locomotive's speed and direction by varying the current to the track. What this means for the operator is a remarkable level of nuanced control with the Select controller (and even more with the Elite) with surprising ease. The DCC system facilitates busy model railway layouts of many trains with control over each one. The Select control unit can be allocated with up to 60 locomotives and 38 points or operating accessories and is therefore ideally suited to those who wish to build on this train set and gradually create a fully functioning layout. 1 x BR 0-6-0 diesel-electric Class 08 1 x BR 0-6-0T Class J83 locomotive 1 x Ore wagon 1 x 7-plank wagon 1 x BR 12 ton vent van 1 x Tanker wagon 1 x Select DCC dontroller 1 x Oval track 1 x Track Pack A 1 x Wall-mounted power unit 1 x Hornby TrakMat (1800 x 1200 mm).
