Hello Folks,

I find I have an ESU DCC decoder which is useless to me for my Märklin and I remain very puzzled as to how I came to acquire it.Confused

It is a 54611 LokPilot DCC V 4.0 decoder, unused and still brand new in its box. It is only of use for 2-rail DC (DCC).
It cannot be used with Märklin

I pondered how I should dispose of it, preferring to avoid eVil Bay. I note that some of you also run 2 rail and if it is of use to you,
please PM me if you want it.Smile.

The only recompense I seek is the postage costs.

Given the heinous overseas postal charges we live with in Australia, I would expect that it is probably only of use to members
in Australia and perhaps the "Eastern Islands" (Adrianese for "New Zealand" Laugh), so I welcome replies from those regions.

Regards,

PJBigGrin

It could be used with Marklin if you have a cs or ms or IB, as all these controllers can send DCC as well as the Marklin protocols.

It can be used with Märklin if you stick to digital and a controller that supports DCC.
Analogue AC will let the magic smoke out.
