<p>I use the Digitrax Super Chief.</p><p>I use Kato Unitrack. The switch machines are thrown by a DS-64 after they recieve the command from my DT400 throttle via the loconet.</p><p>The 8 amp command station is backed by a 2012 power supply that is capable of 20+ amps or feeding multipule boosters.</p><p>Practically, there are like 120 engine address can be stored, no limit to program options and I have not yet hit something that I cannot do with this system.</p><p>I bought this system at the hobby shop on discount and basically this will be the only system for the remainder of my life such as it is.</p><p>The signalling can be supported by the Digitrax Se8C (Either that spelling or the SEC8..) board. I have researched the future use of B&O CPL's with this system.</p><p>Yes I can patch into the chief with the computer but need a cable for that. Maybe will do that some day.</p><p>The only thing that I can or will do is upgrade to full two way radio someday, that is easily done.</p><p>Finally but not last, the reason I bought the Chief is that I understand and enjoy the system very much. Cost was secondary. I suppose it is my way of learning DCC. All in and learn as I need to make things work.</p><p>The basic starter stuff I knew will be a waste of my money, time and create frusterations as I did not want to be limited in any way in the future.</p>
