Gentlemen, Jon, the Chief Technology Officer is seeking input from S Scalers regarding DCC in the new Scale Flyer line.
I have received his permission to cross post the following from the OGR S Scale board along with his email address. Here is his question: -------------------------- "I have a question for the folks here on this thread... I am toying with a DCC decoder (derived from a design I created 8 years ago!) as a swap for our TMCC radio board. If successful, a one board swap out without any wiring changes would allow DCC support with our current motor, smoke, and light controller; and also link to the RailSounds system. Would folks be willing to purchase the "DCC adapter" to plug and play upgrade locos such as the SD-70, Y3, U33? Figure costs at $50/board for evaluation of the concept. No promises, just exploratory feedback - as I may run into some technical issues in the current board set that prevent this concept from working out..." -------------------------- Jon's email is: [email protected] Or, he can be contacted through Lionel's "Talk to Us" page. Jon is willing to listen to us in order make the Scale Flyer line more "scale friendly" for us folks. He has been very open on the OGR board about what is possible and what isn't. Remember, whatever he would like to do to help us out still has to be sold to Lionel management. This is an opportunity to contact Lionel about DCC compatibility and perhaps follow up with other issues regarding the Scale Flyer line. Rich G(ajnak) ------------------------------------ Yahoo!
