Gaugemaster Prodigy Advance2 Starter Package
Product Code: DCC02
Production Details:
PRODIGY ADVANCE2 consists of three elements. The
POWER PACK transforms the power from your mains socket ready for the Base
Unit. The BASE UNIT is the brains behind the operation. It contains all the
technology you need to send DCC commands to your trains and accessories.
However, short of turning the power on and off, you'll find your closest
companion is the Walkaround controller which plugs straight into the Base
Unit. The WALKAROUND is a hand-held controller that you use to send your
commands to the Base Unit, which then sends them on to the relevant decoder
on your layout. You control the speed and direction of your trains from
here. One of the key features of DCC operation is that each of your
locomotives has a numeric address which you select as and when you want to
run that locomotive. DCC allows you to run it anywhere on your railway at
the same time as other trains are moving as well. You can operate points
(individually or route set) and signals from the Walkaround. You can use it
to programme your decoders to replicate the running characteristics of your
locomotives, or even introduce a speed clock that allows you to run a 24
hour timetable within one operating session. The possibilities are almost
endless with DCC and with locomotives becoming available with factory-fitted
decoders as standard, we are entering an exciting new era. Of course, you
can also retro-fit your older locomotives with decoders if you wish.
This controller will run between 7-8 locomotives simultaniously and control
28 loco functions.
