Fitting a decoder for the first time feels enormous. Understanding what the chip does, how the connectors differ, and which CVs actually matter makes the procedure make sense.

NCE PowerCab at £195, ESU ECoS at £597, Zimo MX10 at £1,050. Three DCC command stations at very different price points. This guide breaks down what each one actually delivers and who should buy which.

The DCC system question gets more confusing than it needs to be. Here's a plain comparison of the four systems beginners actually end up buying — what each does well, what each does badly, and which one to start with.
