Zero 1 ushered in a new choice of model railway control in 1979 and was modern for technology of the time. It was capable of running 16 locomotives You basically need to desolder the three wires from the decoder to the loco - these decoders are wired with one side of the motor remaining connected to the track power supply. You'll need to re-instate the power feed to the other side of the motor. As far as disposing of the decoders is concerned, try eBay, there's a fair bit of Zero 1 Hornby Zero 1 was a forerunner to the modern digital model railway control system, developed by Hornby in the late 1970s.

What are peoples experiences with this system as im thinking of using it on a small single track station with 2 or 3 sidings locomotives used would be older lima Disclaimer: This video is not a review of the Zero 1.
