Hi Dave,
while the ringfield design of my Hornby 4-4-0 is old, the loco was purchased brand new recently, it is a THOMAS range ¡°Edward¡± which was only recently discontinued by Hornby when they gave up the Thomas franchise. So it is a recent production of an old design.
Im not trying to be secretive about the ¡°HackIntosh¡± OS version, I simply don¡¯t remember exactly what it is, although I¡¯m pretty sure it was an early version of OSX.
I didn¡¯t notice any RF Suppressors in the Hornby loco when I had the tender shell off, but the motor is kind of sealed up, so they could be inside. Would it be likely that the suppressors cause problems for the SPROG3/DecoderPro programming and not for the NCE PowerCab? It seems to be that way since the NCE was able to program and read back the address but the SPROG wasn¡¯t.
How would I go about making the newer versions of DecoderPro look like version 2? Is it something a novice like myself could do, or is it better attempted by someone who is more of a computer hobbyist than just a train nut?
