R3723X BR Class 61XX Large Prairie 4MT 2-6-2T Number 6145 - 8 Pin but has a standard DCC decoder built in.

Thanking you in advance for answers/comments on my questions. I'm sure there are other things I will want to ask in the future. It seems like a good system good on Hornby for bringing this out.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. 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. Hornby produce a revolutionary new digital control system for your layout. I t's never been easier or more cost-effective to bring true digital control to your model railway.

The data that the App sends over the air is Hornby proprietary but the overarching Mesh tech is standard BLE. The dongle passes that data to the controller over Xpressnet using that protocol to translate it into DCC speak over the rails. What is the reliable range of the control from loco/decoder to smartphone? Standard bluetooth range of 10m but it has been tested to 45m, however by use of Mesh technology any additional static or mobile node will extend that range to the same distance between nodes. Think of each decoder or node as a relay beacon.

R3721X GWR Class 61XX Large Prairie 4MT 2-6-2T Number 6110 - 8 Pin but has a standard DCC decoder built in. Flexibility -Control your layout from wherever you like, with locos controllable from a distance, wirelessly. Hornby Controller compatibility- Use the legacy dongle to control your existing layout from your Select or Elite DCC controller. Sound decoders have three sound channels, allowing for the simultaneous play of multiple sounds, including engine/steam or ‘spot’ sounds such as horns, whistles, brakes, coal shovelling, wheel slip, or injectors. Marketed as ‘TXS Triplex’, locomotives in Hornby’s range fitted with its new TXS Bluetooth sound decoders will bear a blue TXS Triplex sound logo on the box. The new Bluetooth sound decoders can be updated, changing the sounds on each from a range available via Hornby. A decoder can be re-used in a different locomotive by a user, without the expense of having its sounds re-programmed, as would be the case with a traditional DCC sound decoder.

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.R30166 VTEC Class 91 Bo Bo number 91110 “Battle of Britain” and the LNER dummy car - I used two 21-pin HM7000 Bluetooth decoders. 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 00 and HO scale locos.
