Hi Everyone,
I was unsure whether this should go to the DCC topic, but I guess you guys are more experienced with radio control. In my earlier topic Dennis mentioned that in time I might what to change from DCC to radio control. To be honest, one reason I picked scale 1 is the superb sound of the locos, and features provided by DCC (I had analogue before).
I was checking Airwire 900 that was mentioned before, and if I understand it right I need to strip the DCC unit and change it to Airwire decoder. So the loco will not longer be DCC compatible. Is this correct?
Let's say I have a Aristocraft Class 66 with it's DCC and sound decoder, all set up (acceleration, breaking etc.) and I am happy with that. Is there any product in the market that lets me keep the DCC and sound decoder but also enable radio control? E.g. instead of getting the power and the DCC signal from the track, the power is supplied by the onboard batteries and the DCC is coming from a receiver unit. Eventually my loco would work (accelerate, break) and sound the same way on rail and radio control.
Thanks,
Csongor
