What DCC Model Train Accessories do you use?

Model Railroader General Discussion (Model Railroader)

This is a question to find out what DCC accessories people use for there layout, by that I mean things like feedback decoders, boosters, etc…

2

Primarily Digitrax, but I also use TCS and NCE decoders, and Tony’s Train Exchange auto-reversing modules.

3

None.
And I don’t use dcc, either, or track power at all, for that matter.

I use a Digitrax system but mostly NCE and TCS decoders. And NCE Switch-Its for my Tortoises.

Compatibility is a good thing.

I use MRC’s Prodigy Advance as my DCC system and also have MRC’s “Power Station 8” booster.

For decoders, I have MRC sound decoders, Soundtraxx sound decoders and Digitrax (non-sound) decoders.

That’s it for my DCC stuff, as far as I can remember, at least for now!

Digitrax…

Shouldn’t NCE be a poll option? They are one of the two main DCC players in the US.

8

NCE Switch It decoders, in fact everything on the layout except for the Tony’s PS is NCE.

9

Digitrax Zephyr DCC system and several different decoders. For decoders I have: Digitrax, MRC sound decoders, Soundtraxx, a few (very few) Lenz and TCS decoders. I use a MRC ARM.

10

Digitrax Chief system
Lenz LS150 stationary decoders for turnouts.
NCE, Digitrax, Soundtraxx, and QSI engine decoders.

11

None. My railroad is straight DC.

12

One of the top DCC manufacturers is NCE and you don’t have them on your POLL? I had to select other…what an insult to NCE, tsk, tsk.

13

Lenz system, an extra Lenz throttle, Digitrax decoders and 2 Tony’s reversers. I “scratch-built” my controller-bus with parts from Ocean State Electronics. Wire from Home Depot.

LifeLike, Athearn and Bowser engines. Remember, to your DCC system, these too count as “peripherals.” And I’m generally installing LEDs as headlights.

I have a digitrax zephyr with almost all TCS decoders. My only decoders that arent TCS are the QSIs in the BLIs and a couple digitrax.
