What locomotives are compatible with this decoder?

This decoder is compatible with any 21-pin equipped Hornby locomotives and is designed to work within the HM7000 system.

Can I use this decoder with other DCC systems?

The Hornby HM7000 21TXS is designed to work specifically with the HM7000 system and might not be fully compatible with other DCC systems.

What kind of speaker do I need?

A small sugar cube speaker is typically recommended. Ensure the speaker's impedance matches the decoder's specifications.

Where can I find sound files?

Sound files can be found and purchased from various model railway sound file providers or the Hornby website.
