Had some difficulty getting it to work the first time, but with updates and more experience, I’ve found it overall useful and good for what it does. Any screwups are moderately easy to fix by just resetting the effected decoder, and picking sound for locos is far easier than other systems. There are parts for improvement when it comes to function programming and arrangement, but for HM7000s relative low price I’m more than happy.

Hornby Hobbies needs to fix their app. I am a big model train fan and was excited when I found this. I discovered upon downloading the app that you needed a Hornby Hobbies account to use it, so I signed up. Only for them to say they need to “verify my account” so I waited for them to send me a verification email, the email of course NEVER came. Then I realized that I wasn’t even signed in the website, which didn’t make sense because I had just signed in. So I tried signing in again, still, it wouldn’t let me. So I tried creating my account again, but it said I already had a account. Nothing made sense, nothing worked. HUGE disappointment. FIX THIS STUFF PLEASE.
