<p>I am going to start a new post on this. I am intrigued by the suggestions about using Decoder Pro and an interface to speed match locos.</p><p>I see by a quick read of the manuals online that Decoder Pro is a quite powerful or complex bit of electronics. I have no experience with it.</p><p>Is it worth it to get the interface and install Decoder Pro to help speed match locos....if that is all I want it for? Or would it be using a hammer to kill a bug? That is, putting too much on my plate to learn for just this purpose?</p><p>I have no experience speed matching locos, but will soon be at the point of trying to make eight to ten consists of almost two dozen locos (I have collected too many duplicates and AB or ABA sets one might say....six H16-44s....four Stewart/Kato F series etc. etc.).</p><p>I have no reservations about using the computer and making the connections. That was part of my occupation as a high school teacher. However, the learning curve looks daunting for the software....or is it just my grey matter disappearing?</p><p>So, to the root of the matter: How long would it take me to learn to use Decoder Pro to speed match locos?</p><p>Thanks.</p>
