Yes, it will operate on a standard DC track, but the DCC sound features will not be available.
This model performs best on curves of second radius (438mm) or larger to ensure smooth operation and prevent derailment.
Yes, it includes prototype-accurate lighting that changes based on the direction of travel.
You can typically perform a reset by writing a value of 8 to CV8 using your DCC controller, though refer to the specific decoder manual provided by Hornby.
Due to the intricate detail and sensitive electronics, this model is intended for adult collectors and enthusiasts, not as a toy for young children.
Verify that the locomotive address matches the one assigned on your controller and check that the track power is active.
Ensure the DCC power supply is providing sufficient voltage and that the track rails are clean of oxidation or debris.
Inspect wheels for buildup of track residue and verify that the locomotive is not traversing curves tighter than the model's minimum radius.
To set up your locomotive, place it carefully on the track and ensure all wheels are properly seated on the rails. If using a DCC controller, assign the locomotive a unique address to avoid conflicts with other decoders on your layout. For maintenance, keep the track surface free of dust and debris to prevent electrical intermittent issues. Use only light machine oil, specifically designed for model locomotives, to lubricate the moving parts sparingly; avoid getting oil on the motor or electronic components. When not in use, store the unit in its original box to protect the fine details and paintwork.
