Lionel Trainmaster

Hello, I just got a Lionel Trainmaster with my new K-Line Big boy for Christmas. Being new to DCC I really don't know how this DCC system compares to other systems. I have been looking for a good site on comparing DCC technologies but there is so much out there to sort thru and it's really hard to tell which one I should go with. I would welcome any comments you might have on your experiences with DCC and Lionel's. Is one system more "compatible" or "generalized" for cross DCC equipment? Is there any ones system which works well across N, O, and HO scales? Also, is there any commercial software for the Trainmaster unit? It would be great if I could find a few snippets of source code which I could work with and write some of my own. Thanks!

TrainMaster (tm) is not DCC compatible. It is a proprietary system that is licensed to several O gauge manufacturers. It is not available in any other scale.

Lionel TMCC is sort of open-source - the code is set out in the command control manual furnished with the command base.

It walks you through some of the TMCC fundamentals.
