It's an affordable upgrade route for both old and new locomotives. The only caveat is they are fairly large with the Bluetooth built on to the chip.So won't fit everything. The function and sound quality are first class for the price, with well over one hundred sound files to choose from, with up to twenty eight individual sounds per file. Hornby are constantly updating the locos covered which shows full commitment,so more to come. Android or Apple phones have a app to download and after you've done it once, it becomes a very straightforward process. Sound is of a very high standard and I've not been disappointed. A speaker and sound enclosure are included, with various enclosure to suit the size of space available. Once chosen fit the supplied self adhesive speaker and glue round the base of the enclosure while downloading the files from Hornby.This will give you something to do whilst you download the files ,up to half an hour is required when the server is busy. You'll need a simple account set up with Hornby and your away. A clever automated sound setting on one of the functions let's the loco go through a variety of sound samples whilst under power,a great touch. Value for money.

App can be a bit tricky, and you may need a stay alive, but knocks spots off even more expensive decoders ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A nightmare to install - but a dream when working *by A***R on 1 February 2026* Been having loads of issues getting these to work on my Hornby Flying Scotsman. There isn’t enough tech support out there at the moment and Hornby technical support isn’t ideal for weekend contact as their hours are very limited. However after some playing around, I discovered that one of the pins needed bending slightly to actually make contact and power properly which may suggest a poor design. Now it is working I am over the moon with it and it’s a great sound coming from the engine! ## Frequently Bought Together - Hornby R7336 HM7000-8TXS: Bluetooth® & DCC Sound Decoder (8-pin) - Hornby Accessories for 00 Gauge Track & Train Sets - Compatible with Select Hornby Model Trains, White - Hornby R7377 HM7070 - Power Bank - Hornby Accessories for 00 Gauge Track & Train Sets - Compatible with Select Hornby Model Trains --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://congo.desertcart.com/products/516092622-8-pin-sound-decoder](https://congo.desertcart.com/products/516092622-8-pin-sound-decoder) --- *Product available on Desertcart Congo* *Store origin: CD* *Last updated: 2026-11-12*
