DCC Controllers

Frank is using a Digitrax Zephyr and has a question for readers who might be able to help him:

“At the present, I am using a Digitrax Zephyr controller. I do not have a permanent layout. If I do, I gather that the Zephyr system would not be enough? Can someone advise me? Before investing, what system would other model railroaders suggest would be advantageous for me to purchase in moving upward towards more power and flexibility?

Below is a video about the Digitrax Zephyr Controller.

One Response to DCC Controllers

  • Ken Malgren says:

    The Zephyr should be adequate to run two or three locomotives on a small layout. It’s compatible with the other Digitrax systems (Empire Builder, Super Chief). As your layout grows, you could add either one and use the Zephyr for a yard controller or a programmer.
