DigitraxZephyr Express Starter Set DGTZEPE Power Supplies

I am building a small HO railroad layout which will be my first that uses DCC. I have tried mine out on a limited basis and found that it works well and is quite straight forward to learn to use.

In a moment of madness I decided to build a small (3x6) n scale layout using some of my son’s discarded locomotives and rolling stock. I modeled HO many years ago, and refreshed my memory with videos. Naturally, dcc controllers were offered as the “modern” approach to operating model trains. After comparing I settled on this one as a powerful beginner’s choice. So far, I have not been disappointed. There is a rigorous learning curve, and I do have experience with parameter programming on POS terminals. Just stick with it, the results are worth it. I can only speak as to the Digitrax because I haven’t used anything else. So far, so good!

Set-up is absolutely an easy task. This DCC unit is extremely handy and simple to use. I love it!!! Just read through the manual thoroughly and you'll do fine. It's very suitable for beginners and satisfying for expert model railroaders. You won't be disappointed

I bought this item on the promise of greater ease of use for DCC controlled model trains. It met that promise mostly. However, I needed to program some new accessory decoders for Kato turnouts using Configuration Variables (CV's) and it appears to lack this feature. While it has complete CV programming for mobile decoders, Digitrax referred me to NCE command stations for CV programming of accessory (stationary is another name) decoders so all is well since I have NCE stuff and knew that. If you don't need CV programming specifically for an accessory decoder, the Zephyr Express ZEPE is a great command station!

Came out of the box undamaged, and worked perfectly.

This was a great addition to my setup. Easy to use and set up DCC trains. Would recommend.

Or one of the best. I have read the reviews on both this one and another leading controller and this one was one of the best. So next Christmas I will haul this out for the UP Big Boy I got last Christmas. My new subwoofer is strategically located close to where the track and tree will be.

I like this controller. Runs 5 locomotives, turntable, and switches without any problems. Instructions are excellent.
