Hi there,

I am thinking of purchasing a trix steam locomotive soon, most likely the SJ 1200, does any one know if these models will run using the Hornby R8250 controller, also are there any apps that could be used to control the models digital functions?

many thanks.

Hi @George,

That Hornby is not a reliable controller, I would recommend you go for a upgrade if you can.

If the SJ 1200 is DCC fitted and set to run 'Analogue', it will run with that controller. If not set to run analogue or cannot be set- no chance on that controller.

If it is DCC fitted, the way to control the models digital functions is with a DCC controller, so if upgrading the Hornby R8250 go for a DCC controller.. Roco Z21 or Multimaus, etc.....
