Locomotive Decoders

Based on the high quality and highly capable Soundtraxx MC1 decoder a wide range of user configurable CVs allow the decoder to be tuned and matched to most model railway locomotive motors. A continuous rating of 1 amp is available, making the decoder suitable for N, OO/HO and even small O gauge locomotives. Two function outputs are available with a 100mA maximum load on each.
Supports 14, 28 and 128 speed steps with back EMF regulation and 15.6kHz PWM speed control, short and long (extended) addressing, advanced consist addressing (for double-heading and multiple units) , adjustable acceleration/deceleration rates. The decoder has 15 pre-set speed curves, allowing fine control speed ranges to be adjusted and supports user-defined speed curves with 28 reference points.

Dual-mode DCC/DC decoder with Back EMF function
4 powered function outputs
0.9A continuous load
RailComPlus® for automatic registration when used with selected DCC systems
Suitable for models equipped with DC motors (including coreless motors)

Decoder size to be confirmed.

Dapols Imperium 2 decoder is the Next18 connection version of the Imperium series of small size 6 function MTC decoders offering a 1amp rating, 2amp peak and 100mA function output.
Decoder size to be confirmed. The 21 pin version measures 15mm across the connector, 17mm length. 10 years warranty against failure in normal use.

The DCC92 is a 8 pin decoder with a fitted 45mm harness between the pins and the decoder. An ideal decoder for retrofitting into non DCC Ready locomotives.

The DCC99 is the PowerPal and is designed to keep your locomotives running through dirty or dead track sections. Once a bad bit of track is detected the capacitors kick in and keep the motion, lights and sounds alive until power is restored. The time period can change depending on the decoder that the PowerPal is fitted to.
Length 40mm, Width 14mm, Thickness 8mm, Harness Length 110mm.

The HM7040 Bluetooth® Legacy Dongle allows the HM | DCC app to work with older DCC Controllers from Hornby.
Add Bluetooth and Smartphone/tablet control to your existing Hornby DCC Controllers! The dongle works with all Hornby DCC decoders - including the Elite, Select and Railmaster. This will allow the HM | DCC app to control of all your previous non-Bluetooth decoders.
The Legacy Dongle works via the XpressNet socket - this is a common socket included in many other brands of DCC Controller, however, Hornby are unable to confirm if the Dongle will work seamlessly with other brands of controller.
