There are even lighting options also, as in rule 17 dimming. In some of my N scale locos, I even have flashing roof becons. Way kewl!!!! Imagine a LL SW-1200 with decoder and roof becon, working the yard...
Before I had moved, I just started messing around with matching the speed of different manufacture locomotives,,,, IE ,, Atlas with Kato's. By using the Start, Mid, High cv's. I also messed a little bit with the momentum effects. I know on Digitrax decoders, you can choose from preloaded speed tables, as in switcher, road switcher and the big kahuna. Entering the specific value in that CV will enable you to choose from pre load speed tables.
I use the EASY DCC system from CVP products located in Richardson, Tx. From start to finish, I had the system set up and running trains in about 90 minutes. I also use thier accessory decoder for control of my crossovers which are moved by tortiose machines. One decoder can control four items... so one decoder has control over four of my main line crossovers. The future plans consist of have a Absolute permissive block control signal system, with tumble down signal aspects. So either by the controling of the crossover, which would change the signal aspects,,, or controlling the signal aspects, would make the crossover throw.
Using the Decoder-Pro program, you can make your own CTC panel for such things.. Ibetter shut up on this, I con type all night,LOL
What is kewlllllllll, is that you can control your train and the crossover at the same time. Meaning the CVP handheld has the option of being in accy mode, but still control the loco decoder(s) also.
DCC is just in one word ..( SWEET). I will NEVER go back to analog. It is sooooo kewl to run my switch job in Fond Du Lac, while there are main line trains going in either direction...
One word on CVP's customer support, EXCELLANT!!!!!!!
