QUOTE (Doug @ 21 Oct 2006, 08:31) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>To make it work even better, the loco name and or it's number should be stored on the decoder in some way or another so when it was put into a new environment, it would be recognised and assigned a free address.
Alternatively give each decoder a unique id at the time of manufacture (rather like network cards). Then allow loco definitions to be transferred between systems in a standard file format on some form of memory card. This keeps the memory requirements low on the decoder.
