3.0 Preparing Your Locomotives
You will need to install decoders in the locomotives you want to run with
DCC. We don’t include decoders with our starter sets because there are so
many different decoders available for so many different locomotives. We want
to be sure you don’t spend money on a decoder that may not be the best choice
for your particular locomotives. Your dealer can help you select the best
decoder choices for your layout from Digitrax wide variety of decoders. Our
website www.digitrax.com contains information about decoder installations and
which decoders are best for particular locomotives.
Digitrax includes a Digitrax Decoder Manual with all Starter Sets so that you
will have it available to use with the decoders you choose to go with the set.
You will be able to run one locomotive without a decoder on your Zephyr sys-
tem along with the ones with decoders. So, even if you don’t have a loco with
a decoder, you can still hook up your new system and try it out right away!
4.0 Preparing Your Layout
Digitrax simplifies layout wiring for new layouts. If you already have a layout,
you probably won’t need to rewire to install your Digitrax Zephyr.
