RAF96 Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 If Hornby could be persuaded to order up a new batch of previously sold out TTS decoders which would you like to see again... I can only think of Class 37 and Class 47 as being out of stock everywhere at present. .....please add to the list and maybe they will listen to the people. Just out of stock decoders please, not those wish-list items that haven’t been made yet. Rob Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platform 1 Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 A TTS class 47 re-do would be just the job here - I have locos waiting. As long as the cost is similar to the last batch... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ouroborus Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 According to my local models shop (the excellent DeRails), the tts chips have been a very good seller. Given that the 37s and 47s are the biggest classes and that all the current tts chips have sold out, perhaps it is the case the Hornby are looking at a mk2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrisr40 Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 Not a reissue but it would be nice to have the 4f chip available seperately. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Generally the factory fit decoders eventually see daylight as retro-kits. This has been the case with several such as the Class 08, MN and HST Valenta. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
progers Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 Would be great to see Hornby re stock with the 37 and 47 TTS decoders - I can probably find room for another dozen at least! 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormbringer Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 Class 37 decoders are back on sale, I've done 3 recently, one with a megabass speaker and 2 with iPhone speakers. all seem to work ok. I just wish Hornby would do a sound chip for the class 37/4/5 etc as these are for "unrefurbished" loco's. Pete 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrisr40 Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 Hmmmm... be careful though. Only trouble with wanting specific variants of a class means extra recording sessions, editing etc, set up to program a smaller total number of chips with each sound project, is there sufficient demand for sub classes to mean each chip release washes it's own back ? ...before you know it they are no longer the bargain they are currently.

The main driver for release of any new variant or re-batching of an older decoder is can it sell enough to justify a minimum prder of quantity (MoQ) production order, which I reckon would be in the order of 2,000 units. Unfortunately I don’t think they can pick’n’mix variants within the same order, so you need a lot of confidence in if a product will sell before committing any resource to it. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
