Having the old and new units, aimed at different scales, would be very, very sensible.
Brilliant video Jenny
A very informative video thanks Jenny. 🚂
We need a miniature one incorporated into a decoder and for a real challenge N gauge, we don't need 5 seconds even 2 would improve things.
Hi Jenny, interesting video. You briefly mentioned that the Hornsby stay alive could be used with other decoders. That’s begs the question - do the HM70000 decoders include the charging circuitry to support purely capacitive stay alive of any value, or do they require the stay alive to include the charging / inrush control circuitry? It would be great if you took a scalpel to the Hornby stay alive to see if the pcb includes any components other than the capacitors…..

That looks great for locos where space is minimal. I do hope they keep the more powerful units in the range though.
Cheers and thanks for the info Jenny.
Good test Jenny.
That looks really useful, thanks.
I have a Pug I need to fit with a powerbank so this size is ideal, it's a horrible runner (even after a full tear down) but because of that, I'd be worried that a small power bank will be depleted quite quickly and then not actually help where as a it might be a better idea for me to shoehorn in a larger bank just so I can be confident any issues are eliminated.
Like others, I really hope Hornby keep the more powerful ones available. Obviously they needed something for TT120, but the very short duration in your test would concern me in a short wheelbase loco over multiple points. I’d rather buy Hornby’s than other brands for my HM7000 decoders, even though the AE ones seem to work well.
I’m a TT modeller. I have fitted several HM 7000 decoder’s. When running the engines stutter around the layout. I installed a power bank the old type. My Welshman Class 43 ran well. But after a while my decoder stopped working and melted the body to my class 43. Don’t know what to do. I did find it incredibly hard to find a suitable place to fit the power bank. I haven’t contacted HORNBY yet as I work away all week. I’m a long distance truck driver.
I approve of stay-alives.
Excellent news Jenny!
Ps would you mind me sharing a screen shot of the power bank in the A4 tender in the Facebook TT120 groups? (With credit/mention of course)
Sure no problem.
