Neil-371927 Posted December 14, 2023 Share Posted December 14, 2023 I've bought Class 31/51/61XX Large Prairie, DCC Ready/DCC Fitted Engine, 8 Pin.I want to use the HM / DCC (HM7000) system, so I will download the app. I have also bought the Digital Transformer Bundle.I'm just checking that the HM7000-8TXS and DCC Sound decoder (8pin) will work with this engine and set up ? These are available on the Hornby site at the moment. (see pic below)The non TXs decoders (8pin) aren't available till next year, I'm a little confused by this ?thanks for any help, I'm still trying to get my head around Digital and this system,thanksNeil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RB51 Posted December 14, 2023 Share Posted December 14, 2023 Neil - title in this instance means a few words to describe your query. I have amended it and removed your additional spaces caused by pressing enter when starting a new line. This is not necessary as the forum software, somewhat bizarrely, adds another line anyway.I don't have the model you are thinking of fitting the decoder to, so I cannot respond to your query. Someone will be along shortly to tell us if there is space. R- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LTSR_NSE Posted December 14, 2023 Share Posted December 14, 2023 The OP is asking about the GWR Large Prairie not the similarly named BR diesels - perhaps the title could be amended to aid suitable responses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveM6 Posted December 14, 2023 Share Posted December 14, 2023 Rob, an example of the title misleading the reader. The OP has a class31/51/61xx Prairie not the class 31 diesel.For the OP: please change the title to reflect the real question. Also note that no GWR profiles are currently available on HM7K.Mod Edit: My fault with initial edit. Now corrected. R- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M. Matthews Posted December 14, 2023 Share Posted December 14, 2023 I’ve done a 42xx which looks quite similar size wise. I managed to fit decoder and stay alive in the smoke box. I then cut out the inside of the bunker and got the speaker in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil-371927 Posted December 15, 2023 Author Share Posted December 15, 2023 Do you watch certain YouTube demonstration videos when you fit the decoder, or follow the instructions that came with the Engine ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M. Matthews Posted December 16, 2023 Share Posted December 16, 2023 Not sure if the last question is for me. There isn’t really any instructions for hacking bits of your loco off. It’s just open taking it apart and assessing how much space is in there and what you can take out without affecting the appearance or running quality.However, here’s a website I refer to sometimes before attempting a job.https://www.youchoos.co.uk/Index-Resource.php?L1=Guides Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveM6 Posted December 16, 2023 Share Posted December 16, 2023 The key ingredient for fitting or finding space for decoders and speakers is ingenuity. Unfortunately not available to buy from shops.😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
