  1. sprog would be less hassle and could be cheaper than replacing the zimos
  2. why not keep both bits of great kit But use MXULF to program , can update zimo decoders for latest inproments (eg braking) Or sprog not so much money but no updates to zimo firmware
  3. Ordered zimo decoder with sound loaded 20 hours later here in devon great service
  4. https://wiki.3rail.nl/index.php?title=Märklin_Drum_Collector_Motor_(DCM) would convert motor to dc
  5. That would work out at about 10kwh per day which my 4kw (2 east + 2 west faceing) is doing this month /more in summer less in winter in north devon
  6. http://www.zimo.at/web2010/index.html
  7. something like this https://www.wizardmodels.ltd/shop/locomotive/mt177/
  8. Not tried but can you / how to break consist on the fly that would work just did not know what damage the motor acting as dynamo would do
  9. Sorry if this is long winded but two questions in one I am thinking of motorising a gwr slip coach I would like it to run pulled by the train Until it nears the station then power from its motor to run (coasting) Into the platform If I use geared motor/power train it will not freewheel So could I belt drive straight from motor to axel And would the motor then feed power back into the decoder Like back EMF but all the time its part of the train Trevora

  13. Look here to see about sensors https://model-railroad-hobbyist.com/node/34392
  14. you can use any voltage tranformer / power supply and you should / must reduce current by adding resistors max current lest than 20ma per led look here http://led.linear1.org/1led.wiz to work out size required
