The Digital corner

(N/A)

Which current locos have the new extra functions (Märklin Germany)

On these pages we will try to provide some information on digital stuff. Our goal is to make it easy also for the newcomer into the hobby. This area will be focused on info about digital units as decoders, control units and such. Operation with digital will be covered in the "Operations" area. This area will be more about the technical aspect of digital railroading and components.

You are very welcome to contribute in this area, if you have a nice tip or idea you would like to share. Just mail the webmaster and tell me that you are interested to contribute with something.
