Join the revolution in model railway control with the Hornby HM7000-8TXS decoder, part of the innovative HM7000 range and HM | DCC control system. This tri-mode decoder allows you to control your locomotives wirelessly via a compatible smartphone or tablet using the HM | DCC app, or traditionally with DCC or DC controllers.

Key Features & Benefits

• Tri-Mode Functionality: Operates in DCC Mode (with all NMRA compatible controllers), Bluetooth Mode (with compatible phones/tablets, requires DCC controller or flat DC supply for power), and DC Mode (with all DC controllers).
• Total Control via App: Control locomotives untethered from a wired controller using a compatible phone or tablet via the HM | DCC app. Customize running style, tinker, and test settings on the fly.

• Precision Control: Features include CV changes without removing the model, precise shunting control, manual braking option, load compensation, and creeping mode for accurate coupling/uncoupling.
