Re: Backup DCC system

I am ambivalent, it is a decent price for something that has been gently used but as Mike said it is an older system.  I'm sure there are still plenty of these systems up and running layouts currently and it is for back up....

Only Mike has commented so far.  Does anyone else have a thought on the DCC setup being offered?

The DB150 is the Empire Builder system. That is now two generations from the newest system. Digitrax has labeled both that system and the super chief as “retired products “

We have talked in the past about purchasing a backup DCC system.  One of our former members, Carl Graves, has some lightly used equipment he'd like to sell.  This includes two DB-150 units, a throttle, and a radio transmitter.  The transmitter may be a UR-91.  I didn't ask what the throttle was but Carl says it came with one of the DB-150s, so it's probably one of the DT-400? models.

The asking price is around $400.  I'm no Digitrax expert.  What do members think about a purchase like this?
