Introducing Hornby Digital

The days of needing a computer degree to operate a digital model railway have gone. 

The techincal jargon, the confusing instructions and the complex operating requirements have also gone.

The brains of the locomotive

Being able to change points and operate accessories with the minimum of wiring and fuss is one of the main attractions of digital control and the Hornby Accessory/Point Decoder allows the operator to do just that.

Wiring points up in the old analogue fashion can be quite a daunting exercise. On some layouts which have numerous points this can mean that there are metres upon metres of cabling plus a whole bank of switches.

Hours can be spent carefully wiring up the points only to find that there is a fault or an intermittent connection which means more hours of crawling about on the floor trying to locate the problem. With the Hornby digital system these horrors can be but a distant memory.
