The Last Ninja Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 Due to the forum Gallery's continued access issues and low viewership, requests for more steam images by members have led me to a curated selection tailored images for the HM DCC app, ensuring full image visibility. Enhancements in colour editing and edge clipping have been applied. The images are cropped to work within the image size on the app. Below are steam images of the Princess Coronation Class for all forum members to use for their HM 7000 decoder within the HM DCC App.Enjoy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Last Ninja Posted March 1 Author Share Posted March 1 To follow on here are several A4 locomotives including five locos from the Great Gathering's tenth anniversary. The blue 'Sir Nigel Gresley will follow as will 'Commonwealth of Australia' and 'Empire of India' in the future when I get more time. Loco images attached are 'Dominion of Canada' LNER 4489, 'Dwight D Eisenhower' BR 6008, 'Mallard' LNER 4468, 'Union of South Africa' BR 6009, 'Bittern' LNER 4464, the green BR version of 'Sir Nigel Gresley' 6007 and 'Gannet' LNER 4900. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Last Ninja Posted March 1 Author Share Posted March 1 This post gives all forum members the use of images of the evolution of the iconic 'Flying Scotsman,' showcasing all six Hornby Dublo models of the A1 and A3 locomotives. Additionally, it features the unique two-tender version designed for the locomotive's USA tour, alongside the latest iteration, the Era 11 model, that continues to captivate audiences today. All images are created from my collection and are intended for all forum users to freely use with their HM DCC (7000) App and decoders. All images are cropped in proportion to the required app layout. Enjoy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Last Ninja Posted March 1 Author Share Posted March 1 I have now attached a curated selection of images of my P2 locomotives, ready for operation with the HM DCC (7000) app and your HM7000 decoder. This lineup features the esteemed Hornby Collector's Club 'Thane of Fife' LNER 2005 and the distinguished 'Earl Marischal' LNER 2002. Additionally, I have added the Thompson Class 01 in classic BR black, bearing the number 63806, and the Patriot Class 5XP LMS 'Rhyl' 5521, equally impressive in black. Similar to the images showcased above, they have been processed and cropped in Lightroom for optimal display on your iPad or other devices when using the HM DCC app. Please feel free to use any of the images I created if they are useful to you. I welcome any suggestions and feedback as I reprocess some of my earlier images. If you have any loco requests from the Hornby catalogue from 2021 to 2024, please let me know. The P2 Lord President, as well as the Streamlined Princess Coronation 'Queen Elizabeth, Queen Mary, and King George', are planned once the Queen Mary arrives from Hornby next week. It was released last week, so I just ordered it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Last Ninja Posted March 4 Author Share Posted March 4 I'm pleased to share the latest image that I captured of the A4 "Sir Nigel Gresley," numbered 60007, in experimental BR blue. This locomotive (and image) completes the Great Gathering series in my Hornby collection. Please feel free to use this image for your HM7000 decoder on the HM DCC app's image screen. Additionally, I have the A4 "Commonwealth of Australia" and "Empire of India" in my collection. Their images are yet to be processed, but I will share them in due course. To ensure our loco images remain organized until the ‘Gallery’ works fully, I will initiate a new thread for those interested in using my diesel/electric locomotive images. This will allow us to keep our steam locomotive images in one dedicated space. Updates on my Thompson A2/A3 models will be posted later. Any image requests are welcome to any forum members. Thank you for your interest. The Last Ninja 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulleidboy Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 I will not use them as I am happy taking a photograph using the App. However you have displayed a fantastic selection of locomotives - thank you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
96RAF Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 I was watching a youtuber today who suggesting taking pictures of your own locos in portrait format with the loco centred on screen and then when imported into the app they fit without adjustment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gilbo2 Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 Yes, the app needs a thin letter box of the loco in the middle of an image when importing, can still be hit and miss though. iPhone though does a better job, iPad is very fuzzy on position for some reason.

gilbo2 Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 I'd take @The Last Ninja images all day, they are just the right size to import and fit the screen space without adjustment. Also, they are small in file size which is what I now know the app needs if you have lots of locos to import. As commented on before, I'd like to see the RailMaster loco library sized large enough and made available for the app. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Last Ninja Posted March 4 Author Share Posted March 4 I was wondering if @96RAF or the team at Hornby would allow a WeTransfer link. The moderators could first check for viruses on the link and then and then approve a WeTransfer link as 'safe' for all my images to help everyone with the HM DCC app and their HM7000 decoders. Over to you 96RAF or should I reach out to my contacts at Hornby? That way people can pick the size file image size to the their own needs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apart from clicking a link we have no way of proving it is safe with the software at hand. I will ask Admin for their opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been using that method since I first added loco's to the App. I have found that either portrait or landscape gives you a perfect image - no adjustment required. I use an iPhone 8. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it comes from Hornby then it just gives members confidence. I will ask tomorrow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Last Ninja Posted March 5 Author Share Posted March 5 Here is the alternative build to the P2 'Thane of Fife' above. This time it is in the body shape and release as the Thompson Class A2/A3. As well as all my current Thompson A2/A3 class locos including "Sun Castle", Cock O The North, Steady Aim', and 'Chamossarie'. Like always please feel free to download and use my images on your HM7000 decoders and the HM DCC App. Most are in BR livery and the 'Chamossarie' in LNER.

gilbo2 Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 FYI, on the topic of importing images, there are subtle differences between the way an iPhone and iPad displays locos. Essentially, an iPad in landscape mode is less forgiving with having a much narrower "letterbox" which can lead to more cropped images than the iPhone if not careful. Examples below: Original image: iPhone import: iPad Import (Portrait): iPad, same Loco setting screen, just in Landscape mode: Another comparison: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gilbo2 Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 It's also worth adding that the Control screen crops further: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may be George will prefer to lodge your files in toto in the HM7K support documentation area rather than see them as a link on the forum area. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Last Ninja Posted March 5 Author Share Posted March 5 So, here is my other collection of P2's. This includes the new 'Lord President' as well as the alternative 'Cock O The North' to the build in the last post of the Thompson A2/A3 version of it. As I have said before, please feel free to use my images on the HM7000 decoders and HM DCC app. Once I get the 'Prince of Wales' with steam built in next month, I will also add that. Enjoy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Last Ninja Posted March 6 Author Share Posted March 6 Today's new loco images are two examples of the Class 61XX Large Prairie 4MT. One is a BR black and the other a Great Western. Please use these images if they are useful to you on your HM DCC app and HM 700 decoders. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Last Ninja Posted March 10 Author Share Posted March 10 As Hornby unveiled the new sound profile for the locomotive class Princess Royal last week, I'm pleased to share my current collection of Princess Royal Class images. These images are available for all forum members to utilize with their HM DCC App, alongside the new sound profile for the HM7000 decoders. Take advantage of these images I am giving to all members to enhance your model railway experience! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
