This decoder can be installed in all C Track turnouts with an electric mechanism. The digital formats supported are mfx, Motorola, and DCC. Connections are with plug contacts. An address from 1 to 256 can be set with coding switches.

A digital decoder can be installed simultaneously or later on with the electric mechanism for turnouts. The decoder is simply connected with plug contacts and it can be given a custom address for each turnout (Address 1 to 256). Tools or special knowledge is not required for the installation. The digital current supply can be taken directly from the train operation contact for the turnout. This gives you a finished digital turnout that is immediately ready for use on temporary layouts.

If you are using locomotives with mfx protocol the controller will automatically recognize and load the profile of the locomotive (Name, Class, Icon, Address, Function buttons and more). All you need to do is place the locomotive on the track. In DCC mode you have full control of the CVs and can build and store your own locomotive profile. Up to 40 profiles can be stored for direct access.

This set can be expanded with the Trix C Track extension sets and with the entire Trix C Track program
