Description
As new in box – never been used.
The DCC02 is the ?bigger brother? of the Prodigy Express system and not only can it control locomotives it also has the functionality to control points and other accessory such as signals and lighting.
One of the main features of the Advance system is the route setting function, which allows multiple turnout motors to be set up in a group so that only one button needs to be pressed for them to operate. For example, if you had a four road station leading in from a single line rather than setting all the turnouts manually (Accessory 1, Accessory 2, Accessory 3 etc.) you can group the all into the platform numbers so that Route 1 could operate the correct turnouts to access Platform 1, Route 2 could operate the correct turnouts for Platform 2 and so on.
Another key feature of the Advance system is the ability to customise the handset to suit your own needs. For example, the rotary dial can be changed from continuous increasing and decreasing speed to a “centre off” mode, which is ideal for shunting layouts. The handset can also handle double heading, which gives the user the option to use two locomotives in a consist whilst keeping their decoder numbers separate, avoiding any unnecessary decoder programming. Larger than the Express, the power output of the Advance is rated at 3.5 amps which gives the user a lot more power to play with than the Express, which means more locomotives running at any one time.
