It is possible to have more than one locomotive running on the same track at the same time with the
Hornby
Select Digital Control
unit. As an example it is assumed that there are three locomotives coded 1, 2, 3.
Operating Multiple Locomotives:
Step 1.
Press
on the keypad and then “SELECT”.Turn the Control Knob and locomotive No. 1 will begin
to move.
Step 2.
Press
on the keypad and then “SELECT”. Turn the Control Knob and locomotive No. 2 will
begin to move. Locomotive No. 1 will continue to run but will not respond to the controller until it is
re-selected as per Step 1.
Step 3.
Press
on the keypad and then “SELECT”. Turn the Control Knob and locomotive No. 3 will
begin to move. Locomotives No. 1 and No. 2 will continue to run but will not respond to the controller
until re-selected again as per Step 1or Step 2.

Important:
Should you wish your locomotives to have varying levels of acceleration/deceleration then you must
programme them all individually.
However if you require all your locomotives to have the same level of acceleration/deceleration you
need not remove them from the track. In this instance programming one locomotive with accelera-
tion/deceleration will programme them all.
Please Note:
If locomotives 1, 2 and 3 are already programmed into the controller by repeatedly pressing the “SELECT”
button, it is possible to scroll through the locomotives. For example by scrolling through and stopping at No. 2,
No. 2 locomotive will respond to the controller.The speed of the locomotives will not change in relation to
the position of the control knob while scrolling through addresses.When the Control Knob is turned again
the speed will be adjusted on the currently selected locomotive.
All locomotives included in the Hornby Digital Train Set range are
factory fitted with Decoders. To achieve the maximum benefit of
operating a Digital layout, ALL locomotives should be fitted with a
Decoder.
1.
Place one locomotive on the track, and select its address using
the keypad.
2.
To operate the locomotive, turn the Control Knob on the Control
Unit clockwise until the locomotive has reached the desired speed.
3.
To slow down and stop the locomotive, turn the knob anti-clockwise.
4.
Direction of travel is controlled using the direction arrows on the unit keypad. Generally the currently selected
direction is indicated by a green LED below the button.To change the direction of the locomotive, press the
opposite Direction button to the one currently selected.
IT IS RECOMENDED YOU STOP THE LOCOMOTIVE BEFORE CHANGING DIRECTIONS.
