    It cannot go unmentioned that no photograph was shown of the item in the listing just a blank picture, other listings had photos. Despite asking twice for information and a picture of the item neither request was answered until after I had taken a risk by buying the item. Having said that, the item was posted very quickly and arrived early.The packaging was very good and given the item turned out to be new in sealed packaging made it excellent value for money. I would buy from the seller again.

    A smooth and professional transaction throughout. The item was exactly as described, clearly listed, and fairly priced. Communication from the seller was prompt, polite, and helpful, with dispatch confirmed quickly. The parcel was securely packaged and arrived in excellent condition, ahead of the expected delivery date. Care was taken at every stage of the process. I would be happy to buy from this seller again—many thanks for a reliable and well-handled sale.

    Perfect. Everything about this transaction is exemplary and how it should be from sale to delivery. Postage was quick, the item’s packaging ensured it arrived safe and secure. The item was just as described in pristine condition. Comms were fantastic, friendly and ensured I was informed and kept up to date. Great value for money too! A highly recommended seller, added to my favourites list and will buy from again with 100% confidence.

    Reliable Accessories and Point Motor Decoder

    Easy to set up and has consistently switched both types of Hornby points. I've installed 6 and they work well with Hornbies e-link system and will switch multiple points without a delay to allow a recharge. A good looking little unit if its going to be viewable. Or can be fixed out of the way, utilising its underside mounting points. Ensure you wire the common correctly for each brand of point motor is my only advice to ensure it works right first time.

  • The Hornby R8247

    up to this present date I have wired four of these accessory decoders, that's twelve point motors and have had no problems at all. They fit easily under the board and are light and easy to install. I only have one thing to say against them, that is the price. each year they go up by just a little and they will soon be more than they are worth, apart from that I can find no fault with them and I am very happy with them.

  • It works

    It works very well and is very easy to programme. The only objection with this item is that like all Hornby products it is made in the Communist state of China. Hornby has sold its sole to China.
