Confused by Hornby
- Thread starter Why me
- Start date
Why me, what kind of decoder do you have? I definitely don't have any clue on working with Hornby, but I did a search on Yahoo and found this website.

It is very brief and doesn't explain a whole lot, but it looks like in one of the pictures they are only using 8 of the 12 pins, maybe you don't have to buy a new decoder, but maybe you just need some type of adapter or something. Just a thought. Good Luck!
