Hornby Light Signal 

@scotplane I think on the Hornby Select & Elite DCC controllers, you can connect up the same as shown here (instead of using the accessory decoders). Look where it say's AUX power, on the right hand side on the back of both units. Not sure about other DCC systems, but i'm sure many will have a similar set up for the AUX Power outlet. The brown wire as shown here & per instructions supplied with the signal etc. Cheers.

The range of model signals now made is mind boggling, so many good makes out there now...... what to go for.....mmmmm!!

@theguy40267 No, if you follow the supplied instruction sheet that comes with the signal, it shows you how. Just plug the yellow on - on switch into the 1st switch. Only one comon return wire needed.

Many thanks. Have done a few videos explaining the point's, already. But will see what i can do. Kind regards.

Be nice If Hornby get round to doing a more update version. Th Eckon's are great, will more than likley be using them on my layout. No worries about Barrow hill.Kind regards.

@MrHeadsocket Actually it's the black wire NOT green!! As wired up per Hornby's instructions sheet & as used on mine & several freinds previous layouts, for many years. As seen on the side of the switch, two coloured dots for help & ease of wiring up: Green wire to green dot, Red wire to red dot. The two wires that connect to the controller are the black & brown (not red), brown wire being the common return. I've also had the under side removed.

Thank you, hope to have a DCC video up tomorrow if all goes to plan. Cheers.

@VideoGr8Editing Is it missing?? Try your model shop, Hornby, or the like of Maplins etc.

This was great. Exactly what I needed. Cheers.

memories here, thats the signal I used in that video ( which will remain nameless due to spam) and I had it as a kid. Some fine memories here seeing the controller.

nice video really simple and you explained it all. can you post someone more videos doing this kind of thing, explaining the wiring of the device and so it all fits together - how about a simple point motor?

@wattass7 The Hornby Signal light keep it separate from the interior lighting, wiring. But you can run both sets of wire back to the accesory connection AC outlet on the controller.Cheers.

hi ay, im thinking of using the hornby SkaleLighting ( have ye seen it ) i think you prob have, what i want to know could i rig up a signal lights wires into a hornby 2 pin plug then plug it into the 12 way power strip to work, ?? i want to do the same with yard lights , street lights , etc etc, it looks straight forward and very easy, just want to know if you think it would work before a buy the gear, its what im going to use for inside railway cottages, signal boxes etc, thanks , hugh

Sorry to hear about the spam. Glad this has brought back memories :-) Cheers.

@jaannetts16 Yes, only one brown wire needed, as the switches all connect together as you know. cheers.

maybe model 1890s trains? no signals, just an old guy passing a 'ring' to the loco driver...not sure how that worked but do recall something like that..

Yes, it does. I won't be doing a video on that, as no longer have these Hornby colour light signals. Will be using one of the custom makers for the new layout.

@VideoGr8Editing Thank you, glad it's been of some help. Kind regards.

Thank you Jean, Cheers.

cool i might get one for my mainline when it is done

quick question when you have 3 switches do you still need only one brown wire

@jmsschooner Any model shop, or electronics type shop. Also try Hornby, or the various suppliers of Hornby spare parts.

Thanks, helped a lot! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

I would say the tube is doing the best it can to pull down the spam channels, still getting heaps on the popular videos. And the Thomas tubers clean out continues, this will affect anyone who posts train videos.

Yes, the old token system. Still used on some railways. Cheers.

Just the same as the point motor, is wired up (as shown in part 15 on my DCC series) Cheers.

thanks man. life saver

My whole channel is under attack, its not fun spending the time doing spam control when I could be helping others along the way. I see many Thomas tubers have been cleaned from the networks, this will affect you and me as this was our audience and network! Lots of tubers would have had your stuff set as favorite video, well with the channel gone its good buy network. There must be hundreds of channels gone so far.

Take it you've not looked on Hornby's website??

Cool, cheers.

Thank you, i'll have to do some annotations on this video. Cheers.

Thank you.

Is the signal sold seperatly from the controller ir does it come together?

I don't think I ever got far enough with my stuff to do signals...:)

Hi, what signal lights would you recommend for a dc layout? Thanks

Thank you, cheers.

Cheers.

Good show but one thing plm is I'm deaf person and can't hear the speaker.......

Good one Iain! Sadly, I won't be at Barrow Hill on May 2nd, but will be some other time this year... will keep you updated. Thankfully, I use Eckon's 4/3 aspect signals, harder to wire, but more detailed for about a 3rd of the price. Hornby's signals are way over priced. Pieces of plastic for around £20!!!!! RIP OFF!

thank u you are a savage lad for help

How do you control between red and green?

He he! You get my point though.... I will email you when, I really want to meet you.

Okay, cheers :-)

@VideoGr8Editing Contact Hornby or east kent model spares, or your local model shop. Cheers.

:-) Cool, cheers.

sweet i want to get 1

can you use the signal with a dcc controler

Your welcome :-) Cheers.

@fdtyure Your welcome :-)

@ciarang8235 Your welcome :-)

can it work on ddc

haha I have one of thoose myself! I like how they are quite heavy & made out of proper material bu they look like crap, traintronics are way better ;)

I think it evolved into bingo :)

:-) Cheers.

Heh heh heh.... :-)

@intercity24 Is the pope catholic?? Lol.

This is bad news my freind.... what can be done to stop this rout of the Thomas Tubers??? & the spam your getting?? Looks like this year is getting off to a bad start.....
