Updating Hornby OO Gauge Locos
I chose these because they appeared to be just right for my Hornby model railway. And indeed they are just perfect! All correctly wired with the right coloured wires. The correct gauge of wires and useful lengths which can be trimmed as required. Good quality items at excellent prices.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Good value but expect to add more time and money for best results.
Budget sound but expect to change speaker and play around with CV settings for fair running and sound quality if used on a Bachmann Class 37. Aux (cab lights) is only on function 25 which is out of range for most Dcc controllers and cannot be moved.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

GOOD IDEA
I have hardwired two locos previously without using a harness but for my third, I thought I would try using a harness. I found the wires a good length on the harness making it ideal for any size loco. I trimmed the wires to fit before soldering. The decoder fitted was a Gaugemaster and it fitted perfectly into the 8 pin socket. I will certainly purchase more of these if I hard wire anymore locos.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Realistic
This Hornby sound decoder is a realistic alternative to the more expensive well known sound decoders. I have used one in a class 67 which sounds good to me and I have another to fit into a class 37 but I have acquired a more bass sounding speaker to replace the one supplied, to give a more deep throaty sound.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Hornby or not to be
Very loud when you first switch to sound, disappointed with packaging it's a don't care sort of arrangement, plastic bag/ cardboard box? Okay so for some its too cheap to bother with, but I have to say it does bring the locomotive to life and you get smoother running. Will it last! who can say the last I had lasted about 2yrs. Oh dear?Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

A great little socket to work with.
Very well made product,good length of wires, ideal socket to fit to your loco, makes changing a faulty DCC decoder or upgrading to a sound decoder a lot simpler.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Adds Atmosphere!
Hard-wired to a Hornby 08 from the Mixed Traffic set with a sugarcube speaker, works well as a generic diesel-electric sound but is still rather loud on the lowest setting. Great fun, though, and adds atmosphere to the layout.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
