Hornby HM7000 DCC Elite/Select Upgrade Bundle with 21-Pin Decoders

HM7000 - Revolutionising the control and operation of model railways - The new HM7000 Control System brings layouts to life via the free to download app. Bluetooth® technology streamlines a range of power, control and sound options, all at the touch of a fingertip.

No matter your current set up, Hornby has made upgrading to the new HM7000 Control System easy. Whether you are simply a beginner with a train set or an advanced model railway fan with conventional controls, there are many ways to upgrade to a revolutionary new way to control and operate your model railway. This bundle aids the upgrade to HM7000 from your DCC Controller, eg. Hornby Elite and Select controllers.

The bundle comprises:

- 1x R7326: Bluetooth Legacy Dongle
- 3x R7322: 21-pin Bluetooth & DCC Sound Decoders (More can be purchased separately if needed)

Fit the 21-pin Bluetooth enabled decoders included in this bundle into your NEM660 Locos and then plug the R7326 dongle into the RJ12 port on your DCC base station. Then, download the official HM7000 app to your smart device which can then link via Bluetooth to your locos! Full control is via the app, which also includes free lcoomotive sounds. The control is fast and wirelss where settings can be changed without removing models from the layout.

We advise purchasing R7377 Powerbanks separately which can be installed with the decoders to ensure locos are kept running over any potential dead spots. Please note, there is zero stock of this product in the UK until towards the end of the year however...!

If you desire this bundle but need different decoders with different pin-count then please contact us. An 8-pin bundle also exists.
