To use the ABC technology with BM1, BM2 and BM3 block section modules, you will need locomotive decoders of the GOLD series or other decoders that support the ABC technology.
How does the ABC technology work?
With little effort, ABC manages to accomplish just what model railway enthusiasts crave: precise on-the-spot stopping in front of signals, slow approach and passage in the opposite direction.
By means of simple modules, which supply the braking section in front of a signal, an asymmetry is created in the otherwise symmetrical digital track voltage. Naturally, this occurs only if the signal is at "Stop" or "Slow approach". This asymmetry informs the locomotive decoder about the signal status:
The idea of Digitrains was conceived over the dinner table and grew very slowly as doubts calmed missionary zeal. We finally took the plunge in January 2005 and are fortunate to be dealers for some of the best and most user friendly DCC equipment available.
