SERIES 8: Digital Sound - installing Hornby TXS chips

THE HORNBY Bluetooth Triplex Sound system is the perfect entry point to digital sound, but it also has huge potential for the more advanced modeller too. The system uses chips which are equipped with a Bluetooth node which means that a smartphone or tablet can be used to operate the chips as well as upload sound files from the Hornby HM|DCC app for an enthralling installation and driving experience.
