looks good, all functions required (for steam at least) and tiny as well. Even Nigel Burkin has given it a good write up.



Well done hornby for getting it right.

Which one are you talking about Simon? The R8249 replacement for the (crap) R8215 appears to be good value for money. We've been selling them by the bucket load.

John, is this compatible with Lenz?

Not tried one myself, but they claim it's fully NMRA compliant (or is it compatible?), so it should work with Lenz.

Think they only support 2-digit addressing, but not absolutely sure on that.

That might be a show stopper, I use running numbers. Thanks.

Thats the one, I'm behind the times on this, only found out about them a couple of days ago.

Cheers, Simon

Not immediately obvious from the blurb, but yep they do support extended addresses 1-9999. What do you do with 5 digit BR numbers though ?

Cheers, Simon
