Kiran Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 I have the EM13 motor decoders in a few of my Kato trains. I am adding about 9 more and I am wondering if I should continue to use EM13 or get them hard wired with a Railcom compatible decoder. I have 27 locos/trains with a Railcom compatible decoder (mostly Loksound) and about 8 with the EM13. I have no intention of switching to Digitrax command station and decoders (Digitrrax sound decoders sound awful). If NCE don't get their act together and support Railcom (unlikely), I will most likely switch to EcoS or something similar down the line. With my interest in automation, Railcom will be helpful. I am guessing there isn't an EM13 alternative with Railcom support? Link to comment
Ochanomizu Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 Hello, Someone did a custom EM13 PCB here: Link to comment
chadbag Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 (edited) I use that PCB with d&h decoders in a lot of trains. and I made extra boards the last batch as they were cheaper in bulk if your interested in getting some. I only have an EM13 in a couple trains that were already installed. All my other EM13s I sold off when I got my boards. ETA: I did not get the boards made to sell them etc. I made them for my own use but have more than I probably will ever use so would be happy to pass a few on at whatever they cost me. I did not design the board and just got the design files from the designer to have the boards made. Edited August 21, 2020 by chadbag 1 Link to comment
