Today I received the screws and the connecting piece (between the tender and loco) for my William Whitelaw, where I'd lost the loco screw. Thanks Hornby spares. Great, prompt service. (Today was last Friday but didn't have ability to post.)

How often do Hornby do this double points promotion?

On point 2 ntpntpntp would a sonic screwdriver work? Sorry I couldn't resist, I'll get my coat. But thanks for the reversing loop info, I'm interested in doing one too Mike

Are spares available yet? The screw that keeps the link between the loco and tender secured to the William Whitelaw loco has dropped out and I haven’t been able to find it again 😫

It's doesn't say on the Hornby website that the TT120 Flying Scotsman comes fitted with a speaker! It would be helpful

and i'm always worried about starting new threads, even when i check to see if there isn't one regarding my query. never too sure on forum etiquette

my bad, apologies

Lee-348193 did you have to remove anything from where the speaker should go? i received TT3004M and it has waht looks like a speaker already in there, but no wires coming out. When i did my William Whitelaw that area was empty and i simply put the speaker in there. I'm a bit worried about removing whatever it is.

Thanks 96RAF, you are correct and I'd already ordered the cable yesterday. Hornby were heavily promoting the HM6000 on their upgrade path, but with my experience I think I'll keep the HM6000 for DC on my OO kit. Will the transformer I had for the HM6000 be powerful enough in medium term, i.e more locos? Thansk again for your help

Update: My TT120 William Whitelaw now moves and makes lovely sounds. Thanks

The mesh i refer to is the HM DC app settings for bluetooth mode. There are 2 options either mesh linking (provisioning) & forwarding or standard ble. Thanks to Foden 4400, although i had tried this a while ago, resetting to factory settings I was able to connect to mesh linking and update the HM6000 to 1.8.2, the higher version wasn't available to me. I did actually manage to get sound and movement through the decoder after installing it. But then I did the install buton again by mistake and broke it no_mouth Now when i try to install SPIROM, it seems that the connection with either the HM DC app or the HM6000 disappears and the app restarts and then the HM DCC app whirls around trying to find the host device. I will keep trying, I know it works but I learnt now not to hit buttons i don;t need to :)

When using HM DC I have never been able to get the HM6000 to be picked up in a mesh scan, I have only been able to scan and find it when BLE is selected. When you press update, it says you have to be connected to mesh to update. So i can't update. I have tried using the HM6000 to start using HM DCC but I'm having trouble with the sound files being uploaded, it times out on the SPIROM. Thinking this was something to do with the HM6000 not being updated, that's why I've asked the question re updating. Thanks

I can’t seem to connect my HM6000 to mesh so I can’t update it anyway. Any ideas on how to update it?
