What DCC system do you folks tend to use?
I am prepping four modules to be used at the Detroit NMRA National Convention, Plan on
wiring the modules for DCC. Currently have the options to use Digitrax system or a North Coast system. If I settle on Digitrax, the system cam be set up as wireless or set up as NCE then it is Cab based (due to the available hardware I have on hand). Both systems will be set up to provide 10 volts to the rail. When you guys set up for shows that use DCC which system do you tend to use? Is there a preference? Do you provide the throttles or does everyone bring their own? Thanks in advanced Stu |

The Bay Area Z Cooperative, aka The BAZ BoyZ (and GirlZ) uses the NCE ProCab 5 amp system with EB3 circuit breakers at strategic points (turnouts, module sections, etc.). We are entirely wireless based Cabs, supplying our own. I own the bulk of the modules, 1 of which is the Wye to tie 3 legs together and houses the ProCab hardware and wireless base station. We have enouhg modules to fill a 20x30 area and easily run this off of the one central wireless base.

One member already has one wireless Cab and another non-wireless. One member recently purchased his own ProCab (all in one) for his home layout. He can either plug it in as a non-wireless or you can now upgrade them to wireless (only for ProCab based use, not as wireless on the basic PowerCab hardware). Hope that helps.
