DCC is the most popular norm for running a digital model train layout. There are other digital protocols (Motorola, MFX, Selectrix…) that I won’t discuss here. The bottom line is: with the right command station and decoders, you can achieve much more than on an analog layout. DCC was defined by the 2 main model train organizations: 1. MOROP (MOdellbahn EuROPe), the standardization body in Europe, publishing the well known “NEM” rules (Norms for European M…

Le DCC est la norme la plus courante de contrôle digitale d’un réseau de train électrique (mais ça, normalement, vous le savez). Il existe d’autres normes (Motorola, MFX, Selectrix…) que je n’aborderai pas ici. Avec la bonne centrale de commande, et des décodeurs dans les locomotives, on peut faire bien plus qu’en analogique. Cette norme a été standardisée par les deux grands « organismes » du modélisme: 1. Le MOROP (pour MOdellbahn EuROPe) qui édit…

RailCom™ is a technique whereby a RailCom™ enabled decoder transmits variouspieces of information onto the tracks. Obviously while the command station orbooster is putting a DCC signal onto the tracks, this is not possible. Thesolution was to create a short ‘cutout’ in the DCC signal lasting a mere 448µsduring which time both track outputs are effectively wired together. This cutoutis short enough to be ignored by all NMRA compliant non RailCom™ enableddevice…

I decided to build this new layout using equipment that is 100% RailCom suitable and I have had many challenges finding euipment that meets my desire and I thought I would let people know what I have finally used to get full automation with full visibilty of what is where at all times - this may help people who want to use the capabilities presented by RailCom.

RailCom™ is a technique whereby a RailCom™ enabled decoder transmits various pieces of information onto the tracks. Obviously while the command station or booster is putting a DCC signal onto the tracks, this is not possible.
RailComPlus adds the ability to read the multi-function decoder's function capabilities and automatically register the locomotive with the command station. Immediately prior to the cutout occurring a RailCom compatible command station transmits an Idle Packet. This signals to a RailCom enabled multi-function decoder that the cutout will follow.
In normal DCC, decoders can’t speak to or answer to the command station: the station sends orders (“program CV X”, “Move forward”…), and the decoder does it (or not…). With RailCom however, the decoder can speak back to the command station. In real life, that means 2 things:
RailCom™ transmissions are divided into two time slots (called ‘channels’ in the RailCom™ specifications). These time slots exist to permit two decoders to transmit information simultaneously provided that certain rules are obeyed.
They developped (with or without other firms, stories differ), another layer on top of DCC: the RailCom technology. RailCom is backward compatible with DCC, which means you can run any DCC decoder with a RailCom command station, and that RailCom Decoders will work normally with non RailCom stations.
RailComPlus adds the ability to read the multi-function decoder's function capabilities and automatically register the locomotive with the command station. Immediately prior to the cutout occurring a RailCom compatible command station transmits an Idle Packet. This signals to a RailCom enabled multi-function decoder that the cutout will follow.
A RailCom or RailCom Plus command station. RailCom implies slightly modifying the DCC signal on the tracks. It will remain perfectly compatible with non RailCom decoders, but adds a short electronic “cutout”. So you will need a CS that is either RailCom (or better RailCom Plus) compatible.
RailCom Cutout: A gap in the DCC transmission, created by a RailCom Cutout unit, of approximately 500µs, for the decoder to send RailCom Messages. RailCom Message: A message which a RailCom-capable decoder sends out in the RailCom-specified procedure. Consists of at least one, often several RailCom Datagrams i.e.:
