Graham Farish TPO

I can only assume a chip would keep the lights on at a standstill - unlike DC operation

On DCC, the Farish TPO lights are always on as supplied. Fitting a chip gives you the option to turn them off or on as required

Does that mean that every coach with sidelights has a chip slot inside OR does 1 chip control the lights on the rest of the rake?

They won't be stabled anywhere in view on our layout, technically a TPO never ran on the line were recreating BUT they looked good enough to have a rake thundering up the main line

The chip needs to be hard-wired into the individual coach as per the instructions included in the box. One chip controls one coach, not a whole train.
