                I am slowly figuring it out. Bought a locomotive with a SD40-2 decoder but have no paperwork for it. I do like the DCS52 and as you suggested for now I am running two lines one DC and one Dcc. If you have anything on the decoder I would appreciate it. I will be in touch.Thanks

                Thank you for the kind words. It sounds like you’re off to a great start with your setup and the DCS52 is a solid choice. Running one line in DC and one in DCC is a smart way to ease into it. If you can find any info on the decoder like a brand or part number, I’d be happy to help track down some paperwork for it. Looking forward to hearing from you again.

                Recently purchased Digitrax DCS52

                I ordered this product and really don't know much about it, but am looking forward to using it. However, the service, quality and care that was put into shipping this product to me was outstanding! Even the postal worker commented on the quality materials and method of packing. I liked the little extras included and shows that someone knows how to create return customers :)

                Thank you so much for the thoughtful review. We’re really glad to hear the care we put into packing stood out, and it means a lot that even your postal worker noticed. We’re excited for you to start using your new item and hope it brings a lot of enjoyment. The little extras are our way of saying thanks. We truly appreciate your support.
