Yes, it's probably the most expensive, but i have way more invested in track and trains, so a one time cost is not too bad.īasically their philosophy of adding features and considering customer feedback is head and shoulders above anything else I can buy. It's one of the few systems that is constantly getting new features, very flexible, and high quality components. The signal reception is exceptional, as you should expect from a top of the line system.
I love my Zimo system, but it is expensive and not for everyone. If you are running your trains from Wi-fi, extenders are inexpensive, that would be my first recommendation. There are 2 wifi mimo units in the house, the wifi works about 2 houses away, so that has coverage too. My zimo system reaches all around the house, I put the unit in a weatherproof enclosure, and bought a $15 extension for the antenna. The planters are watered every over day, and water gets all over the rails and pneumatic switch motors My feeders are only about once every 30-40 feet, in a couple of places 50-60 feet. The expansion around the front of the home, and into storage tracks in the garage will take it a bit over 1,000 feet. My layout is not huge, but currently 850 feet of track, works flawlessly on DCC, once about every 2 years one or 2 (at most) rail clamps need attention, normally tightening.
#ROCRAIL DS64 PLUS#
Plus the system is far too useful for changing CV’s and of course testing out Locomotives on the 00 and my 45mm Rollers. The only reason that it has not got installed in the 00 layout is that I have an aversion to using Phones or iPads as Controllers, far prefering something that was truly made for the job. Works seamlessly over WiFi to my iPad or phone, intuitive and easy to use. Now below is a DCC System that is how they all should be, a Roco Z21. Plus as ever whatever you need to find is never in the index in a way that you can find it thus requiring an amended index for my own use.
#ROCRAIL DS64 MANUAL#
Oh and yes the Manual is about as interesting as reading a Shopping Cataloge from front to back including the prices and all the descriptions.
When will manufacturers understand that not every Railway in the world constantly runs multiple lash-ups of power. It takes 3 processes to start up, listed on the label as I get them in the wrong order without it, changing Locomotives is less than intuitive and like many DCC Systems gets locked on Consisted (multiple) Locomotives too easily. Had this been my first DCC system I would have given it up for good and taken up Origami. All very old but works on old LGB MTS when I need it to.īelow is my 00 Layout DCC, I hate this Digitrax System it embodies all of the functionality and user antagonistic features that can put people off DCC. Probably all sortable but just a not got round to it but I did try once and gave up!īelow is my Legacy LGB Chip changing system, LGB 2 DCC and a 386 PC. To be fair the Funkey is a highly superb machine that has lots of interesting tech installed by Terry Soham who I bought it from, including Servo Uncouplers and lighting that changes by direction. I use Peter Spoerer (now Fosworks) Handsets for my Roundhouse Steam and that horrible thing on the right is used for my Funkey that I have not yet managed to get working on any other system as yet. There are no external differences of note on the Train Engineer DCC and Analogue versions. Selection of my Battery Handsets, Fosworks DCC, Fosworks Analogue, Deltang and Train Engineer. Loft System, note that the red handset is a coloured Massoth one, I got mostly blue Handsets when setting up the system but splashed out for a Red one for when I have visitors so that I could find mine easier if I put it down. My modest Loft Railway now has my Massoth DCC installed, this was more than ample for my Garden Line but that is now all Battery Powered with Fosworks, Deltang and Train Engineer Battery Systems, some of the Fosworks and Train Engineer systems are also Battery DCC technology.
