Model Railroading > Digitrax is proud to announce the DT602 family of throttlesDate: 06/23/20 16:15 Digitrax is proud to announce the DT602 family of throttles Author: MrMRL Date: 06/23/20 18:39 Re: Digitrax is proud to announce the DT602 family of throttles Author: Arved MrMRL Wrote:

I guess they had to do something to woo Prodigy owners over. I don't see how this new layout is going to make things any more intuitive over my DT500D (which is about as intuitive as quantum mechanics). Well, whatever. I hope it's a success for them I'm eagerly anticipating a review from someone who isn't relying on Digitrax's ad revenue before I pass final judgement. Arved Grass Fleming Island, FL Date: 06/23/20 19:01 Re: Digitrax is proud to announce the DT602 family of throttles Author: SPDRGWfan The only money I expect to spend on Digitrax going forward is hardware to adapt it to WiFi. No more Digitrax throttles. Maybe the TCS or Proto throttle.

This is a Digitrax announcement. Why you old farts need to jump here I have no idea. Digitrax users or any users for that matter do not jump in on NCE. All the DCC companies make good products.

https://www.therailwire.net/forum/index.php?topic=49920.0 It's mostly an N-scale board but they have a broad base and lots of activity. Date: 06/24/20 08:47 Re: Digitrax is proud to announce the DT602 family of throttles Author: railstiesballast I like the original thinking of having two active engines quickly available with their own knobs.
Let one train run laps while switching with another? Helpers that you could drop off on the fly? One train grinding around a helix while another is busy somewhere else? I am into NCE but this is interesting. As they say in auto racing "Competition Improves the Breed".

Digitrax vs NCE Both brands do what you bought them to do. fbe Date: 06/24/20 09:50 Re: Digitrax is proud to announce the DT602 family of throttles Author: TCnR fbe Wrote:
------------------------------------------------------- > Chevy vs Ford > > Digitrax vs NCE > > Both brands do what you bought them to do. > > fbe I would have agreed but chasing down some of the info from the Railwire comments there does seem to be some significant differences. Some of the 'features' can even be chased down to some reviews that are YouTube, the fixation with battery drain and removing batteries for example seems to go directly to a YT 'Chevy vs Ford' review. Agree that if your crowd, or club, is using one brand there is a group knowledge base that makes everything run better. But there is a drive to improve the products, I think there's some basically good ideas coming out and it's good to air the laundry a little. I held off on the whole DCC thing until things made more sense, things are making more sense these days, imho.

Hmmm, sounds familiar.
