Hello.

Is the decoder itself a Hornby product?

If the decoder is NMRA compliant then it should work. I say, 'should'....

Of course they will, I have an Elite and so far I have not found one decoder that does not work and I have tried many. Hornby prides itself in obeying the DCC standards if 96RAF is to be believed, so they should all work. I had issues with my Fleishmann Twin Track driving the new Zimo MS range of sound decoders but they worked perfectly with the Elite. The ones I have had most issues with are Gaugemaster and DC Concepts where sometimes the Elite will not read CV values, but a lot of people on here rave about them.

The only decoders I have had trouble with were Hattons own. I bought five and after the third, all of which only allow a loco to run in reverse, I gave up.
