I have a question for the folks here on this thread... I am toying with a DCC decoder (derived from a design I created 8 years ago!) as a swap for our TMCC radio board. If successful, a one board swap out without any wiring changes would allow DCC support with our current motor, smoke, and light controller; and also link to the RailSounds system. Would folks be willing to purchase the "DCC adapter" to plug and play upgrade locos such as the SD-70, Y3, U33? Figure costs at $50/board for evaluation of the concept. No promises, just exploratory feedback - as I may run into some technical issues in the current board set that prevent this concept from working out...
Jon,
Of course, there is only a small portion S Scalers present on the OGR board who run either DC or DCC.
This is a question that perhaps should be asked on the YaHoo S Scale board. I know there's a couple of belicose "nattering nabobs of negativism" about Scale Flyer over there, but the bulk of the folks there are reasonable. I'd be willing to copy the above part of your post over there tonight and ask for their input.
The question is how to contact you. Last time, I suggested using "Talk to Us" and ask the message be forwarded to Jon-CTO.
Is this the best way to contact you? I won't pass along your email address in OGR's member profile without your permission.

Rusty, I would appreciate the Posting on the Yahoo S Scale board. You can use my forum email, or the Talk to Us address works as well as they route to me.
Folks, I truly appreciate the feedback I see posted. I take it to heart, and it will reflect in our products where possible.
