Note: Digitrax Starter Sets do not include mobile decoders or power supplies. There are a wide variety of DCC decoders available today and some are made to fit specific locomotives. Some decoders have more features and cost more money and some are less expensive with fewer features. Your Digitrax authorized dealer will be able to assist you in choosing the “right” decoder for your layout. Click here to visit our mobile and stationary decoder selection pages. There are many different power supplies that you can use to power your Digitrax system and you may already own an appropriate power supply so rather than force you to purchase a power supply you may not need, we leave that decision up to you and your dealer.
