motorola based decoders

Jul 04, 2004 2 Replies

Hi,



I am looking for model train decoders, based on the Motorola protocol. I am using a two rail system with DC motors. Since I moved from Europe to Canada (ON) I am not familiar with the Canadian/US models. Any advise on different kind of models and location to purchase is welcome.



Thanks in advance,



Fred


Welcome to North America. For two rail DC systems, most of us use DCC, and NMRA standard for model train control. I have no idea what the "Motorola Protocol" is. For information on DCC and some products to consider, see

There are a couple of good beginner books regarding DCC available from Amazon or other booksellers:

Digital Command and Control - the Comprehensive guide to DCC by Ames, Friberg and Loizeaux

The Big Book of DCC (Digitrax)

also lurking on the appropiate yahoo-groups a an option ... look for example in
