I changed it with another speaker which I had spare and it worked okay after that… so I end up Ionly sending one back. I’m still going to buy more of them. as I have said good value for money. ## Frequently Bought Together - Hornby R7336 HM7000-8TXS: Bluetooth® & DCC Sound Decoder (8-pin) - Hornby Accessories for 00 Gauge Track & Train Sets - Compatible with Select Hornby Model Trains, White - Hornby R7377 HM7070 - Power Bank - Hornby Accessories for 00 Gauge Track & Train Sets - Compatible with Select Hornby Model Trains --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.be/products/516092622-hornby-r7336-hm7000-8txs-bluetooth-and-dcc-sound-decoder-8](https://www.desertcart.be/products/516092622-hornby-r7336-hm7000-8txs-bluetooth-and-dcc-sound-decoder-8) --- *Product available on Desertcart Belgium* *Store origin: BE* *Last updated: 2026-06-30*
