Bulleidboy Posted February 25, 2023 Share Posted February 25, 2023 Why would Hornby sanction the video? It is common knowledge from everything you can read about HM7000 - the decoders can be used as "conventional" decoders. This video didn't tell you anything new.

james_nelmes Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 At Model Rail Scotland today, they had an HS125 with a sound chip in and it sounded very good. They said there would be an announcement in the ‘next few weeks’ regarding release of the app and decoders. They showed a little bit of the app and it looked fairly user friendly and intuitive.

Rallymatt Posted March 3, 2023 Author Share Posted March 3, 2023 Just an update on my Amazon purchase… unsurprisingly neither the first or second dispatched decoder from the very questionable seller Rarewaves showed up. I did get an instant refund from Amazon and have submitted a fraudulent activity report to Amazon regarding this retailer. 😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulleidboy Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 Not surprising seeing as the decoders are not on general release yet, and the App is also still to be released. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know a few people that have reported Amazon sellers for fraudulent activity but sadly those sellers are still active. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
96RAF Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 If you compare the Rarewaves site link from the Amazon page to the real Rarewaves web pages it is obvious they are not the same and that the Amazon page is a clone. A search for HM7000 on the real site draws a blank. They have a few train-sets only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, lovely loco. Would have happily bought that set up with the app if it had been on sale 😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ighten 1707822464 Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 Just noticed all products now have release date changed to summer 2023.. I'm with fish, I won't be holding my breath for this..So was the big announcement mentioned at Scotland just "it's delayed another quarter and isn't ready" or does the new date refer to new pre orders as the first have sold out on pre order..

96RAF Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 I hope all you nay-sayers have a damp cloth handy to wipe all the egg off your faces. The fact that the product page delivery dates have been all over the place since the 2023 launch proves nothing about actual deliveries. You have been told there will be an announcement soon and there will be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fishmanoz Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 As the politician says on interview when he/she has no intention of answering the question -“one thing I can say is ….. all my HM7000 pre-orders as still showing as just that … pre-orders. Now back to the studio with Rob! Rob, do you still have Simon there with you?”. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

james_nelmes Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 So my 8 pin sound decoders are showing ‘Spring 2023’. When my Lady Di TTS showed Autumn 2022, it showed up at the beginning of September. So according to that logic that means Spring starts at the beginning of March, so could be anytime.

Fishmanoz Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 Rob, the trade only Toy Fair Simon attended was earlier this week if I remember the dates correctly. And in Melbourne with me in Sydney. Long way to go to try to crash a party. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
