No, the leading zero is not required. Since addresses above 127 can only be extended addresses, no leading zero is ever required on addresses above 127. The leading zero is only required on NCE on addresses below 128 to distinguish between an extended address and primary address, and never required on Digitrax.
Probably the biggest failure of the NMRA standard - on Digitrax, 1-127 is ALWAYS a short address, 128+ is a long address. On Lenz, 1-99 is always a short address, 100+ is always a long address. On NCE, 10127 can be a long or short address, 127+ is always a long address. So there are ranges od addresses that will work on one system but not another. And you can have a loco address 5 and another 005 on NCE and they are two different addresses - the former a short address, the latter a long address.

On a Digitrax system any address up to 127 is considered a 2 digit address. So address 105 can be entered and run as 105. Any address higher than 127 must be used with the leading 0. So address would be 0128.
You can't. Digitrax will not recognize the 4 digit address under 128 like NCE will. I'm guessing you have used a 0 as the lead digit. Such as engine 105 uses address 0105. You'll have to change it to a 1-127 2-3 digit address for Digitrax. ----------------- Ken
On my NCE system I have long addresses less than 128. How do I run those locos on a layout that uses Digitrax? Do I have to change them to a short address? or is their something else I can do (the digitrax manual doesn't seem to have the concept of long addresses less than 128)?
