Hi guys...
Went to a hobby store yesterday and the owner was trying (nicely) to get me to buy a TCS Decoder rather than a Digitrax decoder to go with my Digitrax Zephyr. Now, I'm still very new to the world of decoders, but it started me wondering if there was a big difference between brands. Maybe that particular retailer did more TCS business, I don't really know. But is there a significant difference in decoder brands? I have the Zephyr and thought maybe it was best to stick with the same family of decoders for all my diesels I plan to convert. But do I really need to...or would any other brand due just as well?
