Sometimes we offer DCC fitted locos, we still keep this structure and alter the price accordingly to reflect .
It Shows as xxx On The Price?
This Means the loco is currently out of stock, generally if something is taken off the website, it is not likely to come back into stock in the near future.It is always worth checking the latest additions to see new items and returned into stock.
Do I Need To Fit A Standard Decoder As Well As A Sound Decoder?
This is a common myth, the Sound Decoder IS The Decoder, it controls everything, Sound, Lights, Motor etc. The loksound decoder is like the Rolls Royce of Decoders.
Do You Do Sound for Other Makes Of Decoder?
We only do loksound and are unable to reblow other sound decoders- We are looking into other manufacturers, but this is a long term idea.
Do I Have To Have Hornby Decoders For Hornby Locos etc?
No, All Decoders are NMRA compliant, this is a set of guidlines for manufacturers to follow to ensure that all DCC equipment works together. Therefore, Loksound Decoder Work On Any System.
What Other Items do you stock?
We are mainly OO Gauge Items, we do not do N Gauge or O Gauge, We do however supply XL Decoders for O Gauge & Micro decoders for N gauge, we do not have a fitting service for these.
Do You Take On Commisions for Resprays?
We currently do not take on resprays of customers locos, we do occasionally have resprays done as shop stock, so it is worth checking the latest additions page.
Do You Fit Smoke Units?
No. We strongly advise against these, some can require too much power that the decoder cannot supply and runs the risk of blowing it. if the units run out of fluid, they do not have a cut off system and continue to heat up, we know from experience that if left unattended they Will melt your chimney!.
Limited Editions.
Where possible we try to ensure the certificates are complete with the locos but due to the nature of the supply, they sometimes get mislaid, We cannot guarantee the certificate is complete.
