To benefit from wireless Bluetooth control, locomotives must be fitted with a new range of bluetooth-enabled decoders from the manufacturer, made available in eight-pin, 21-pin and Next18 formats with options for sound too, under the new branding, 'TTX Triplex'. R30215 HST Jubilee Train “Queen Elizabeth 2” Platinum Jubilee HST with dummy car – used two 21 Pin HM7000 decoders. The following is a list of all locos I have successfully installed the HM7000 Bluetooth decoders with sound. Most are 8 Pin. I only use an HM7000 system now via the HM7000 app.

The following is a list of my locos I have installed an HM7000 8-pin or 21-pin Bluetooth decoder, and the locos I have been unable to (4 Pin) or find difficult.Ultimate Control- Change settings on the fly, there's no need to learn/ change CV values. Any reprogrammed settings will be remembered by the locomotive - so if you wish to use the HM7000 as an easy-programming tool - these settings will carry over when using another controller such as the NCE Powercab, Prodigy, Z21 etc. The decoder is designed to supply 1000mA continuous load to the main motor and a peak demand of 1500mA. Making it highly suitable for most OO and HO scale locos. Hornby produce a revolutionary new digital control system for your layout.

Hornby has unveiled – and demonstrated – a successor to its App-controlled Hammant and Morgan HM6000 DC-controlled system – the HM7000. Whereas its previous HM6000 was more akin to a ‘smart’ DC control system, with sounds played through the speakers of the controlling device (a smart phone or tablet), the HM7000 is more akin to a DCC control system, though differs in many ways.
