Re: Peco Setrack 100 for DCC
Setrack is supposed to be Peco's version of snaptrack. I have used some Setrack turnouts and they were insulfrog. To be honest I also took them all out. They have a sharper radius than the normal Peco

Re: AutoReverse Modules
Yes, you do need a Digitrax throttle to configure the PM42. You might be ablke to find an old DT100 or similar for a song, so it might not be that bad. If, however, you still can return the PM42,
