I once heard a question proposed about only using one decoder to run all
his engines. I don't recall an answer but it seems possible for those
wanting to try or test engines before installing decoders. What you do
is hook up the decoder between the power booster and the track. I
really don't know if it works but it would seem feasible on a small layout.
