I just installed my first HDMCC decoder, which went into a Hornby class 56. Decoder set up and loading the class 56 profile via the app was relatively straight forward and I’m pleased with the resulting sound. The ergonomics of the app are great and enable easy driving of the loco and operation of the various sound and lighting functions from the phone via Bluetooth. BUT……. switching from the app to my DCC controller and the function operation is significantly degraded - F1/engine start no longer works and the directional lighting functions have been lost. The only way to get sound and directional lighting via my DCC controller is using F28/automated function control - so I’m losing a lot of operational flexibility using the DCC controller. As I intend to operate all the locos on my layout via the DCC controller, I’m hesitating to purchase another HMDCC decoder for any of my other not sound fitted locos. Has anybody else had similar issues and been able to find a solution ?

I’m the same, I only intend running mine using my controller. My functions seem to be okay, but I have had issues transferring control from the app to the controller… The app seems to be more robustly connected than from the controller…. Let’s see what the hive mind comes up with….

Hi. Nice video. I had the same problem with apparently missing roof panel magnets. But they were actually still on the loco. They had just come away from their setting and were just stuck to the opposing magnet. They are very slim. I just glued them back in position. Maybe this has happened to your loco. Regards… Steve 👍

Which speaker are you using here in the loco? The accurascale or the hm7000 one? Thanks

Hi, great video. I went for the hm7000 speaker in the large enclosure and it is a massive difference than the installed cube speaker which is only for the higher pitch sounds with their thrash speaker. Though be careful as the hm7000 decoder only supports 8 ohms not 4 which the thrash speaker for the 37. They do a 8 ohms speaker but unfortunately its out of stock.

How do the lighting functions work? I was going to put a Hornby decoder in my 37 but was put off the idea as apparently the different lighting functions don’t work?

The real underlying issue as to Hattons having to close is exactly the same reason that many thousands of other companies have ceased trading in the last few years. If your business did a high percentage of its trade outside of the UK then I'm afraid that the reality of the Brexit lies has come home to roost! Brexit is actual reason why Hattons has closed. The impossible trading conditions caused by it have sunk UK's foreign trade for the smaller and medium sized businesses. It's a national disaster. Whoever thought that inflicting economic sanctions on ourselves was a good idea? There are serious consequences for national stupidity, delusion, exceptionalism, gullibility, susceptibility and insouciance. We as a nation sure are "world beating" at those! This country deserves what it voted for and has now got. The public are responsible for who they trust and who they elect. They needs to learn some harsh lessons sharpish or this country is finished.

Hi Julian, very considered opinion, I note that in their press release they do mention some of these aspects. It's a shame as I still refer to them and then remember they have gone. I hope the other modelling companies are suitably isolated or diversified. I tend to steer clear of politics when I can on this channel, but read into my thumbs up and heart of your comment as you will......

@@AberHaltJunction Hattons specialised in international sales, it was a large part of their business, so they were not equipped to deal with the new trading conditions. They diplomatically shared around their reasons for closing so as not to upset the apple cart. I do, however, mention politics because it affects every single aspect of our lives...I've made it my business to be very informed and I've an outspoken personality/mentality! :) I totally understand your position and don't blame anyone for steering clear of it or hiding their opinions. Anyway, I enjoy you channel so more videos when you can please... Regards Julian
