This is probably a dumb question, but,,, here goes. I'm planning to buy the Digitrax PR3XTRA programmer, and a few Digitrax sound decoders... now, I don't have a layout yet, and I still don't know what DCC system I'll be using (right now, I just lay EZ Track, and use the EZ Commander when I want to run my trains) so this isn't about how to run a DCC layout, but rather, this is a question about the capabilities of the Digitrax PR3XTRA.

I have recently released my "Cheap and Easy Automatic Block Signal System".  This is an ABS system that does not need a computer, programming, and except for the signal connections does not involve any soldering.  This system has been installed on three layouts ranging from medium to large to very large.  This system is available from Model Railroad Control Systems at this link:

I have heard the term used and I understand the need for speed matching; but, has anyone posted the specific procedure as to how to speed match a DCC locomotive? In other words, How do you do it ?

Hi all,

I have a steam engine in which I'm using a Digitrax DZ123 decoder for motor/lighting control and a Digitrax SFX006 soundbug decoder for sound.  I'm now trying to program them using the decoder lock feature and I'm running into a couple of problems.
