For the general modeller this decoder is an ideal entrance into digital sound. It brings a layout to life for a fraction of the cost of other manufacturers making sound available to many more modellers. If required the sound produced can easily be improved by upgrading the speaker for only a few pounds. All in all this is a good product representing good value for money. Well done Hornby.

Easy to fit (I use black tack) inside the tender. Worked straightaway, amazing sounds, my first DCC sound loco!

Easy to install. Impressed with the sound quality even at factory settings. Have not had chance to play with settings yet. I would recommend this good value product.

The installation instructions for this decoder are not very clear. It is not stated, for example, that to fit into a recent "dcc ready" King Class loco, the speaker must be taken out of its plastic housing. It will then fit into the mountings under the ballast weight in the tender. The small PC board can be insulated with sellotape, and will fit on top of the ballast weight. The "Control Vatriables" and "Function" sections in the instructions leaflet are comprehensive, but reference is necessary to the "Railmaster" or "Elite" instructions to find out how to implement them. Once fitted the system works well, but some adjustment of Control Variables (adjusting sound volume and timing) may improve things.

Works brilliantly now fitted. My engines were DCC ready, but not usually available with sound. Results on my B17 and 9F were amazing.
