WIMorrison Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 (edited) I have a loco that needs Railcom feedback and as it runs so well with the current decoder ideally I don't want to replace it. I believe it is an old Lenz Silver decoder from the days before Lenz built Railcom into everything which means it is 20+ years old, but the model runs like a dream down to 0.6kph - a minute hand on a watch moves faster I have thought about adding a LRC100 which is part number 15105 (why do Lenz have to have 2 part numbers?) but I cannot find anywhere to buy a single item and buying 5 isn't really viable as I will never use them! I have also found that an ESU 54680 is much the same, but again only available in packs of 5 Any ideas where I can locate one? Thanks Edited April 16, 2019 by WIMorrison Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
trevora Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 Uhlenbrock 68320 RailCom Transmitter Every vehicle that is to be used in automatic operation or is to report its address is fitted with a RailCom® transmitter. The transmitter is installed in addition to the locomotive decoder that is installed in the locomotive and is simply connected with power pickups of the locomotive. It can be programmed with all short or long addresses just like a DCC decoder. Additionally it is possible to connect a LISSY mini‐transmitter module. The RailCom signal can be utilised by a variety of systems including the Uhlenbrock MarCo receivers as well as Roco Z21, Lenz and ESU About a £10.00 @A&H maybe other places too trevora 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
